We've put together a helpful list of answers to your most frequently asked questions - see if your enquiry is one of them!
How long will my visit take?
As the Titanic Experience is a self-guided tour, the duration does depend upon pace and level of interest of our customers, however an average visit lasts 1½ - 2½ hours. This is normally followed by 30mins - 1 hour on board SS Nomadic. Visitors can spend as long as they wish up until closing time. Our opening hours can be found here.
Should you also wish to book our guided Discovery Tour, this will add a further hour to your visit.
In total, a visit to Titanic Belfast can last up to 3 - 4 hours.
Is it a guided tour?
The Titanic Experience, our nine interactive galleries tour, is self-guided - however there are staff throughout the exhibition to give extra information and guidance. Multimedia Guides are also available for an additional for an additional charge which can offer a semi-guided feel to the experience.
Our award-winning Discovery Tour is a guided walking tour, where you will find out fact and fable as you walk in the footsteps of the designers and shipbuilders who brought the dream to life.

In light of COVID restrictions, we are happy to extend the validity of tickets should you be unable to visit on your original date, please contact our Welcome Team via welcome@titanicbelfast.com with your booking reference to rearrange your visit.
What is your policy on artefacts?
To date, we have decided not to include artefacts from the Titanic Wreck Site and Debris Field for ethical reasons. Our strategic partner Dr Robert Ballard who discovered her wreck in 1985 shares this view and for this reason artefacts salvaged from Titanic do not currently form part of our exhibition. If an opportunity arose to further preserve or safeguard artefacts, this would be considered on a case by case basis.
The Titanic Experience does contain many other original artefacts including Titanic's Plan, the Last Luncheon Menu, original Launch Notebook and Launch Day Tickets, Lord Pirrie's Pocket Watch and many other fascinating items of cultural and historical interest.
Do Titanic Belfast purchase or accept loans of artefacts?
Titanic Belfast are unable to provide information regarding artefacts as we do not have an on-site curator. If you are interested in donating/selling an artefact, please contact Siobhan McLaughlin at Belfast Maritime Trust on +44 (0)28 9073 0490.
Can I see the replica Grand Staircase?
The Grand Staircase does not form part of the Titanic Experience as it is part of our private event suites.
Titanic Belfast does endeavour to operate regular events where opportunities to dine in front of the Grand Staircase are offered, such as Sunday Afternoon Tea.
Please keep an eye on our Offers and Events section for updates on when these events will resume.
Do you sell Gift Cards?
Yes, Gift Cards can be purchased online or via our Welcome Team on +44(0)28 9076 6386 and will be emailed out or can be posted to an address of your choosing for a small additional fee.
