MURMANSK Murmansk is very interesting. It is within the Arctic Circle so they don't have many days of sunshine although the day we were here wa beautiful. On the winter solstice, Dec. 21 they only have 19 minutes of light. The rest of the time it is pitch black. The number of hours of light increase greadually until late June and July when it is light almost 24 hours/day. It never really gets dark only dusky. Hard to live here
Isle of Man The Isle of Man is where Joseph Pilates began learning how to rehab injured soldiers by using bed springs and attaching them to the walls so he could train the soldiers with spring resistance. He invented his first piece of equipment (the Cadillac) at Isle of Man. Just a bit of trivia since I'm quite sure they won't mention that one your tour. :)
The Titanic Museum should be very interesting. Hope you all can make it there. The weather sounds exactly like I would expect. Of course, Hawaii is sunny and warm! :)

I would think Murmansk would be a great place to see - definitely on the bucket list!
