Steam down Southampton Water to the Solent, passing Cunard’s Queen Victoria in berth, and on your return see a number of cruise ships depart - always the chance to sound our whistle and play the ‘Shieldhall Organ’. Southampton of course is famous not just for the modern day cruise ships but also the ‘ocean liners’ that plied their trade during the 20th century. We’ll have displays relating to the liners on board, and a special commentary will reflect their important connection to Southampton.
As part of your cruise, see the impressive engine room with its original steam engines at work and the bridge, with its traditional instruments and gleaming brasswork; admire the ship’s steam assisted steering gear (similar to that used on Titanic); talk to the Captain and our volunteer crew; pass close to the great ocean liners and container ships; walk the teak decks; relax in the Saloon with our wide range of refreshments including tea / coffee; real ale; a range of Titanic bottled beers; wine and hot and cold food, available on all trips.
Children will have fun with our interactive Shieldhall Log Book, collecting stickers from various stations on board!
