Why We Love This Deal

Bristol Dockyards is home to SS Great Britain, the world's first modern ocean liner. Designed by legendary marine engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the ship was the blueprint for all ocean liners. Travelzoo members can step aboard the ship itself, visit the new museum, and see the dry dock for 22% less than usual. Also on site is a Brunel museum, where you could learn more about one of the greatest engineers of all time. Visit for £17 with this offer, and get free returns for a whole year.
