You can walk inside the ship 💙the route is really well made. It’s easy to imagine life at sea and feel the real spirit of old voyages.⚓️

Lovely experience, convenient visit and very many details to study. Plenty of explanations provided and there are several interactive screens which render the museum interesting for visitors of all ages. More areas than we had expected can be visited and see up close. We really enjoyed our visit. Note should be taken that tickets can only be paid for by card. No cash payments are accepted at the ticket office.

Great experience and a lovely ship. Really enjoyed the walk through the ship and the very well written guide.

Delightful experience, informative and lively exhibition. The adventures of cadets are brought personally close to the visitor.

Very educational. You can visualise the life of the crew on board the ship. (For cadets and officers) The tour explained the history of the ship and its last mission as well. It takes about 45 minutes to get around with reading all the info as well.

Fab experience.spent a good hour armed with our English guide leaflet, all numbered and well laid out and explained.great value for 7 euros. Very steep stairs tho.

Reasonable place, interesting for history buffs. for a short stay. Pass the entire ship between floors. and see the places where they slept and ate. and all the accessories they used. The ship's travel history. Entrance costs €7 per person. Worth going in only if there is nothing else to do. Not too interesting.

A lovely floating museum that you can visit quickly when in Oostende. I actually expected more but it seems even a huge ship could be small at a certain point. You can get inside the ship and learn about life on board. There are different cabins like the pharmacy, doctor, kitchen? Operation room... etc. I loved walking around but would have appreciated it of they could do an English translation or English guide somehow. I wanted to read what was being said there but eventually couldn't. The officer in charge of the tours is really nice and sweet. He offered to take some pictures of me since I visited alone and then was happy to recommend some other restaurants to have a nice meal later on.
