EXPERIENCES AT TITANIC BELFAST

A WORLD LEADING VISITOR ATTRACTION

Located beside the Titanic Slipways, the Harland & Wolff Drawing Offices and Hamilton Graving Dock – the very place where Titanic was designed, built and launched, Titanic Belfast tells the story of Titanic from her conception, through her construction and launch, to her maiden voyage and subsequent place in history.

 In the self-guided Titanic Experience, you will uncover the sights, sounds, smells and stories of the ship, as well as the people and city that made her. Spirits. Follow our themed one-way route as you journey through boomtown Belfast and the shipyard where the liners were built, to the launch, fit out and maiden voyage, before discovering more about the sinking, aftermath, the quest to find Titanic and her final resting place. All whilst exploring the hopes and dreams of those whose lives were impacted by the great ship and wondering at our collection of unique Titanic artefacts.

NOMADIC, THE MINI TITANIC!

SS Nomadic is most famous for the part she played in the Titanic story, but this was only the beginning of her extraordinary journey that stretches over 100 years.

Restored to her original 1911 glory and back home in Belfast, a visit to SS Nomadic and Hamilton Dock combines the authentic heritage and atmosphere of this historic ship with the intriguing stories of her passengers and the ups and downs of her dramatic career.

Stretched over four decks, stepping on board SS Nomadic allows you to experience first hand what it was like to be a passenger boarding RMS Titanic on her fateful maiden voyage, to marvel at the intricate details and the contrasts between the separated class areas on board.

In addition to experiencing the authentic grandeur, the Nomadic story is told through a wide variety of interactive, hands on, technical and traditional story telling methods perfect for keeping guests of all ages entertained!

Later we visit the Titanic Distillery for a signature tour. Fully guided experience of our Distillery and historic Pumphouse. Explore the sights and sounds of the Pumphouse, followed by a sensory experience and tasting of our award-winning Irish.
