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.

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.
