Enjoyable and interesting Experience

A7047YJrobinc, Aug 2025

Enjoyable experience. Lots to see and do. Enjoyed the visit to the 'Mary Rose' and 'HMS Warrior' and 'HMS Victory'.Exceptional value for money. Will have to visit again with the same ticket later in the year to see items missed on first visit.

Beautiful

Tony B, Aug 2025

Magnificent, although the Victory is under exterior renovation, it is possible to visit the interior, plus a lot of exhibition and museum to visit, only flat everything is in English, except the audio guide of the Victory.

Great day at the Historic Dockyard.

Ellie_C, Aug 2025

Truly an amazing experience. Visiting from the U.S. The old ships are a wonder to behold. So much history. We spent the entire day exploring and did not see it all. Allow yourself a full day. Highly recommend.

Itinerary

  • The Mary Rose

    We would recommend taking a stroll through the dockyard to surround yourself with its atmosphere and history until you reach The Mary Rose. Visit this extraordinary time capsule that was buried at the bottom of the sea and then dramatically rediscovered. Enjoy thousands of fascinating objects and be immersed in the new Dive the Mary Rose 4D.
