The Royal Navy’s Flagship
HMS Victory is more than just a ship; it’s a living monument to the Royal Navy’s history. Visitors have the opportunity of a once-in-a-generation glimpse into the restoration of the ship in real time, alongside still being able to experience stepping on board a legend.
When you step on board, you will find that HMS Victory has been restored to her original Georgian glory. Walk the same decks where Nelson commanded his forces before the decisive Battle of Trafalgar and feel the weight of history all around you.
HMS Victory’s story extends beyond Nelson. With a crew of over 800 men, learn how sailors lived and worked below deck during the height of the Georgian navy. See how they endured the challenges of life at sea, and don’t be tempted to try a ship’s biscuit unless you have a strong jaw!
With our easy-to-use audio guide, you can explore her remarkable past at your own pace.
Note: During the off-season, guided tours are available, and details can be obtained at the Visitor Centre upon arrival.
