Titanic trail walks

Start from the Southampton Tourist Guides stand, (downstairs inside OCEAN terminal) and take a walk back in time with your guide, to discover sites and stories associated with the Titanic.

See where some of the First Class passengers stayed the night before sailing
Stop outside the pub where several of the crew were drinking the morning of the sailing and find out if they made it on board
Stand on the steps of the White Star Offices and imagine yourselves waiting to hear news of whether your loved one had lived or died
This and much more will be revealed

Cost of the walks £2.00.

Simply come to the stand to book your ticket.
