The story of D-Day on your doorstep


Step aboard the last surviving Landing Craft Tank of D-Day, and walk through one of the most remarkable stories of the twentieth century — with 20% off your ticket, on us.

Just up the coast from us

A short journey, a huge story.

"How do you get an army across the English Channel and into France, when your enemy is well-armed, well-trained, and expecting you?"

Find out at The D-Day Story — Portsmouth's award-winning museum on Southsea Seafront, dedicated to the people, the places and the machinery of the 6th June 1944.

And because Portsmouth's naval heritage is our heritage too, we've arranged a 20% discount for every guest of the Royal Maritime Hotel.

What awaits you

Three reasons to visit.
