All ages will love to listen to the audio handset tour, with an adult’s guide available in over 30 languages or children’s version in English. Take the tour at your own pace and spot the corgis hiding in the Cuddly Corgi Treasure Hunt. See where celebrities and world leaders, from Nelson Mandela to Sir Winston Churchill, were entertained by Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family in the State Apartments.

Snap a family photo whilst trying on the sailors’ uniforms in the Crew’s Quarters as you discover the naval side of the ship where 220 Royal Yachtsmen worked and relaxed. Stop by the NAAFI to sample the delicious fudge, made on board, and look into the gleaming Engine Room.

Finish your tour in the Royal Deck Tearoom and sample the delicious cakes, scones, ice cream and sandwiches from the Royal Galley. After your visit, apply for your complimentary Annual Pass which gives you 12 months free admission!
