You have to pay a modest fee to go aboard her but have free rein to look outside. Very impressive when you first see her (and every time after). I was honored to attened her 'recommissioning' ceremony on June 4, 2005. I've been to see her every year for the past six or seven years. I have always also lit a candle at the Church I attend in Chicago for everyone here at uboat.net and for their intentions.

I usually get admonished by the tour guides to: "Sir, please stay with the group!" as I like to hang back and look around a bit alone. No offense to the guides but most of us here just know a lot more about her and the war in general. However, I never heard of a 'special tour package' that you spoke of. Where did you hear about this and can you provide a link? In any case, if you have the chance, pay her a visit.
