Begin your tour with a visit to the world-renowned Royal Yacht Britannia. Discover the history of the Royal Yachts, dating back to 1660, through Britannia's journeys sailing over 1 million nautical miles, to the ship's role today as a top visitor attraction.
Step inside this remarkable vessel and explore five fascinating decks that once served as the Royal Family’s private retreat and elegant state residence at sea. Launched in 1953, Britannia carried Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family on hundreds of state occasions welcoming world leaders and dignitaries aboard. Britannia also hosted many memorable family voyages to the Western Isles of Scotland.
As you wander through the beautifully preserved rooms—from the Sun Lounge to the State Dining Room—gain insight into four decades of royal life at sea. Since her decommissioning, Britannia has become one of the United Kingdom’s most celebrated attractions, honored with multiple awards for its exceptional visitor experience.
Conclude your visit with a panoramic drive through Edinburgh, offering a glimpse of Scotland’s historic capital before returning to your ship.
