The vessel welcomes visitors with self-guided General Admission, guided Teas & Tours that pair history with afternoon tea, and regular Toddler Sessions that use music and play to introduce young children to maritime life.
The museum experience combines original ship architecture, period fittings and curated exhibits that interpret life at sea and the ship's role in Scottish maritime history. Onboard spaces include accessible decks, exhibition areas, a café and a small shop selling nautical gifts. Trained staff and volunteer guides support tours and educational programming, while conservation teams preserve the fabric of the ship for future visitors.
