Experience the legacy of the Titanic in a new light: discover Belfast’s after-hours tours and events

Imagine stepping back in time to the era of the iconic Titanic, a time of elegance, innovation and breathtaking engineering. Imagine exploring the splendor of this era in the city where the majestic liner was built, and doing so after closing time, when the crowds have dispersed and the corners of the shipyard are bathed in golden twilight. Sound tempting? Well, that indulgence is now a reality, thanks to Titanic Belfast’s new after-hours experiences.

Evening Pampering at Titanic Belfast

Titanic Belfast, an iconic museum and visitor centre on the same slipways where the original ship was built, has launched new after-hours experiences that offer an exclusive exploration of this historic site. Available from 6pm to 8pm, these new tours are designed to appeal to those craving a more intimate engagement with history and a chance to explore the Titanic phenomenon more intimately, without the crowds of normal visiting hours.

In addition to an after-hours tour, Titanic Belfast offers a sensory feast with the ‘Taste of Titanic’ event, a unique Titanic-themed dining experience. The event celebrates Belfast’s rich culinary heritage with a three-course meal created and inspired by the last dinner served aboard the ‘unsinkable’ ship.

Immersive historical experience

The museum’s interactive galleries take visitors on a journey through the history of the Titanic, revealing the story of its design, construction, launch and, sadly, its fateful maiden voyage. These immersive exhibits are now more accessible, intimate and relaxing to explore in the quiet of the evening.

The Titanic Beneath exhibition offers an exclusive look at the ship’s wreck using cutting-edge virtual reality technology. As part of the new after-hours experiences, you can explore these underwater remains in a tranquil atmosphere, away from the usual hustle and bustle of daytime visitors.

Likewise, the signature Launch Experience gallery lets you travel back in time to the day the ship was launched. Using the original plans, visitors can relive the excitement and anticipation of the day and explore the intricate details that went into building this technological marvel, all in the soft glow of twilight.

The Galleries of Titanic Belfast

The galleries house many historical artefacts and exhibits about the Titanic, her design, her tragic end and the subsequent discovery of her wreck site. The luxury and opulence of the ship’s interior, the lives of those on board and the investigations that followed the disaster can be explored in detail without interruption.

As the crisp Belfast night descends and the city lights sparkle on the museum’s metallic façade, there’s no better time to soak up the atmosphere of the past and experience the fascinating history of this iconic ship. With these exclusive after-hours experiences, Titanic Belfast has indeed taken its offering to a new level, giving visitors an unparalleled opportunity to engage with history in a unique and truly personal way.

In the quiet solitude of the evening, in the surroundings of the Titanic Belfast site, one can find a poignant connection to the past. As the sun sets over the Harland & Wolff shipyards, casting long shadows that reflect the grandeur of a bygone era, every visitor is given the chance to walk alongside the restless ghosts of history, and feel both their pride and their pain. It is a journey back in time that is both deeply moving and hauntingly beautiful. Step into history as never before, experience the Titanic as never before.
