Overview

A visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard has now got even better as it can now also include a visit to the Mary Rose, King Henry VIII’s favourite ship, sank in battle in 1545 and raised from the waters just outside the Dockyard in 1982.  Visit HMS Victory (this will be covered partially by scaffolding) and see Nelson’s legendary warship, dive deep onboard HMS Alliance, take a Harbour Tour and discover a working naval base from the water. Leave nothing undiscovered with an Ultimate Explorer Ticket and visit Britain’s top National Museum of the Royal Navy to discover the stories of the Georgian Navy alongside twentieth and twenty-first century sailors.  Experience traditional boatbuilding techniques at Boathouse 4 or learn the history of Royal Navy armaments at Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower. Step aboard HMS Warrior, the pride of Queen Victoria’s fleet and compare her iron-hull with the steel hull of the only surviving ship from the First World War Gallipoli Campaign, M.33.  Portsmouth is still the home of the modern Royal Navy and taking the Harbour Tour offers unrivalled views of Britain’s modern frigates, destroyers and helicopter carriers, as well as historic buildings and the dramatic skyline.  Or you may prefer just to have a day in Portsmouth visiting Gun Wharf Quays.

Includes an ultimate ticket for all attractions including a Harbour Cruise.
