Via Antwerp

Groups - Guided tour

The emigrants that boarded in Antwerp mainly came from far off regions. They had already completed a long journey before arriving at the Red Star Line buildings. During this interactive guided tour in the museum, you will experience the trip – through their stories – as if you were one of them.

From Warsaw you travel via Antwerp to America where, hopefully, a better life awaits you. You'll walk in the footsteps of emigrants and experience their enthusiasm and fear, their excitement and insecurity. You'll experience the farewells and the obstacles as well as the adventure, the discoveries and the hopes for a new life on the other side of the ocean.

The museum tells the history of the emigrants based on human stories. It is an almost forgotten tale that you keep alive by listening and reacting, by adding to the stories and sharing them. At the Red Star Line Museum, you book a trip to the past as well as to today and the future.
