Description
Don’t miss Edinburgh’s highest-rated attraction by VisitScotland. Discover the heart and soul of this special royal residence with a complimentary audio tour of five magnificent decks, available in 22 languages.
The Royal Yacht Britannia played host to some of the world’s most famous people, but above all was home for the British Royal Family for over forty years. Now you are welcome on board this magnificent ship to experience this floating palace for yourself.
Britannia is a five star must-see attraction when you visit Edinburgh. Stroll around the decks, following in the footsteps of the British Royal Family and their guests. Now you are free to see what they saw, to stand where they stood.
Highlights include the grand State Apartments, the cramped Crew’s Quarters, the gleaming Engine Room and the stunning Royal Deck Tea Room. Almost all of the furniture and paintings in the State Apartments are on loan with kind permission of Her Majesty The Queen. Full access for single child buggies and wheelchairs.
