Available on all 300 players on-site, the 80 minute tour is widely accessible at a cost of £3 to visually impaired visitors.

The move means that blind or partially sighted visitors can now visit Titanic Belfast and gain as much information as sighted visitors.

The VI tour has been developed by Acoustiguide alongside the main audio tour to ensure VI visitors can follow the same route as their sighted companions.

The tour gives in-depth visual descriptions of objects, the galleries and the ambiance of the venue.

The same actors narrate both of the tours so the differences are minimal for either visitor.

The script was developed and then walked through with some visually impaired volunteers which allowed for tweaks to be made to the commentaries and enhancements to be made to some of the descriptions - things such as giving a full description of Titanic and an iceberg!
