HMS Victory: One of the decks of HMS Victory is accessible with a handling activity and virtual tour available to enhance visits. Touch tours and Audio Descriptive tours are also available. We have multi-sensory kitbags for use in galleries. Wheelchairs, magnifying glasses and large print text can also be arranged in advance.
HMS Warrior: The ship is accessed via a ramp. Because she is still afloat the gradient can change with the tides and we would recommend entering at low tide if that is a concern, tide times can be accessed by visiting our accessibility section.
HMS M.33: The is more accessible than some of her older counterparts. Wheelchair access to the lower deck is available via a lift and upper deck stairs are more generously spaced. There are some steep stairs in place and our Audio Visual Experience does not have subtitles and can be dark and upsetting for some.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy Galleries: The National Museum of the Royal Navy galleries are fully accessible to wheelchair users including a lift and toilets in every gallery.
The Mary Rose: The Museum is fully accessible by wheelchair, and the museum houses a wheelchair accessible toilet. Lifts are available to move along the visitor route. Information and guides are available in large print formats. We also offer sensory resources, including tactile plans and paintings of the ship. Visitors are also welcome to handle certain artefacts, both historical objects and replicas. The light levels in the museum are kept low for conservation purposes, so if you have any issues please speak to a member of our team and they will help you with your journey. There is an audio loop system in exhibition spaces. We also provide transcripts and subtitles for the audio visual content in most areas. All guide and assistance dogs are most welcome.
Harbour Tour: Two manual wheelchair spaces are available on the Harbour Tours service (depending on the vessel).
Accessible toilets are available in the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Boathouse No.7, and The Mary Rose. Adult changing facilities are available in the Mary Rose disabled toilets.
