I didn’t know what to expect. I only came from a small cruiser. And there was this beautiful big cruiser, brand new... and within half an hour I realised that this ship was something.

About Your Ticket

Visitors enjoy a tour of HMS Belfast.
© IWM

Your ticket includes admission to HMS Belfast. Following the tour feel free to explore the rest of the ship in your own time.

Every man on this ship... is responsible for the chap next door to him, and he is responsible to look after you. And so, those responsibilities are shared throughout the sections, whether you were Royal Marine, Fleet Air Arm, or whether you were seamen.
