Explore Titanic Belfast on the original shipyard site, then step aboard SS Nomadic with your included ticket.

“It is absolutely fabulous We got the train from Kildare to Dublin, then to Belfast and then the G2 bus to the mueseum. Our train was delayed but the staff at the centre were really helpful and it didnt effect our entry. We went on New Years Eve and it wasnt too crowded. We managed to fit in the SS Nomadic also and the kids really enjoyed being on a real ship. 2nd last floor with all the names of the passengers was very emotional, but Wallaces violin tipped me over the edge. It was so sad to read. How amazing is it that this violin survived. Thank you”

On the itinerary it listed that the last stop was Dunlace Castle. Our guide told me that was 15 min from the Giants Causeway where we were at, however since it was now getting dark earlier we would not be able to go there to take a few photos.
