Visit Portsmouth's charming dockyard
Visitors to the city will have the chance to take in not one, not two, but three remarkable ships, which have been transformed to form testament to their adventures on the high seas.
The Mary Rose is said to be the only 16th century warship on display anywhere in the world and with the thousands of military and domestic objects on display within the ship, it provides an illuminating glimpse into life during the Tudor period.
In addition, there is also HMS Victory - the world's oldest commissioned vessel - and the four-deck Warrior 1860.
Meanwhile, tourists can also learn about what life was like for those living around the dockyard, go on a variety of guided tours and visit the Royal Naval Museum.
There is also the opportunity to view the Trafalgar Sail - which is the largest single original artifact left from the historic battle - before stopping off for souvenirs and refreshments.
Meanwhile, those heading to Portsmouth for a couple of days over the festive period should visit the annual Festival of Christmas.
