We booked a group visit including a boat trip serving a cream tea on board. The whole experience was first class. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with a most informative and entertaining guide on the boat. The museum has a fascinating range of exhibits. An outstanding place.

Surpassed expectations. Loved the stories of disasters and walling on the boat, the interactive displays, etc. Didn’t do the boat ride this time.
