Creator's Key Takeaways

The ship excursion cost £26 per person and we spent £86, a massive saving of £120 on the cruise excursion cost.

All in all, an absolutely fascinating experience. I definitely recommend going there. It was great.

We were really pleased with our tailormade day out in Belfast and felt it offered really good value for everything that we did.

But remember that if you book with them and your trip is late, the ship may leave without you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research alternative providers and factor in time constraints before making firm choices to ensure you don't miss the ship.
Book Titanic Museum tickets online in advance as the website can be difficult to access.
Be aware that the Titanic Museum is very strict on your entry time slot.
