THE ROYAL YACHT BRITANNIA
Oh, how the other half lived! Here’s a chance for you to see what life was like for the Royals when they stayed on the Britannia.
As you might expect, there was no skimping on luxury. The whole experience is several floors of no-expense-spared loveliness, although parts of it are surprising. For instance, some bedrooms are smaller than you might imagine.
Visitors will enjoy the up-to-date features the Britannia provides for visitors, too.
In need of something to eat and drink? The cafe is good and while you’re there, you might hear someone playing the baby grand piano while you enjoy coffee and cake.
When we visited, lots of children – and quite a few grown-up children – were enjoying the Corgi Hunt!
You won’t see the Britannia’s name anywhere on the side of the boat. But thanks to the craftsmanship of this Scottish-built gem, it’s instantly recognisable around the world.
It’s little wonder the Queen was so sad when the Britannia sailed its last journey. Well worth a visit.
