About this space

HMAS Vampire is an Event Space in the Australian National Maritime Museum that occupies the preserved hull and deck of a retired naval destroyer.

Design: The interior presents an industrial naval aesthetic characterised by painted steel surfaces, exposed fixtures, narrow passageways and low, practical headroom.

Features: The space includes Wi‑Fi and receives natural light on deck and through cabin openings. The layout comprises open deck areas plus enclosed compartments with mains power and basic lighting. The venue permits guests to play their own music and to hire an external DJ.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or a mixed seated-and-standing gathering in a compact, characterful shipboard setting.

What sets it apart: The deck provides direct waterside sightlines and a skyline backdrop visible from the ship’s open areas.
