New for 2026 — Go Below Decks on Steamship Shieldhall!
We’re thrilled to launch a brand-new experience that takes you behind the scenes of Britain’s largest working steamship!
For the first time ever, join our Below Decks Tours this winter and explore parts of Shieldhall most visitors never get to see.
Your visit begins with a fascinating illustrated presentation introducing Shieldhall’s history, engineering and life on board, followed by tea, coffee and a sandwich lunch served on board.
Then, in small groups, you’ll be given a VIP guided tour through rarely seen areas including the crew spaces, chain locker, steering gear, engine room, boiler room and the bridge, led by our expert volunteer crew.
Tours take place in January, February & March 2026 in Southampton.
All profits from these tours go directly towards keeping Steamship Shieldhall steaming for future generations.
