    All aboard ....

    For something of its age it's fairly accessible. You can't see everything as a wheelchair user but you do get a good sense of what life on board was like.

However, we have a wheelchair lift from the gangway to the Quarterdeck where your tour begins, and the main Deck, Quarterdeck, Boat Deck and cafes and shop are all accessible. The main Deck consists of: the Laundry, Ship's Chapel, Bakery, Galley, associated prep areas, Petty Officers' Mess, Sick Bay, Dental Surgery and Arctic Mess Decks are fully accessible.
