The Royal Yacht Britannia was home to the Royal Family for over 40 years, sailing one million miles around the world. Now a five-star visitor attraction, visit this October holidays to discover the ship described by Queen Elizabeth II as the ‘one place I can truly relax.’
With five main decks to explore, your fascinating audio guide tells stories of life at sea, available in both an adult and children’s version, BSL/ASL tablets and Braille scripts. Each deck is highly accessible for buggies and wheelchairs.
Explore the State Apartments where the Royal Family enjoyed holidays, honeymoons and entertained foreign dignitaries and celebrities from Frank Sinatra to President Nelson Mandela.
Head down to the lower decks to see where 220 Royal Yachtsmen lived, worked and slept. Try on the uniforms for a souvenir photo. Take in the onboard hospital and a tour highlight, the gleaming Engine Room.
Remember to spot the cuddy corgis, hiding throughout Britannia in the Cuddly Corgi Treasure Hunt!
Enjoy stunning waterfront views from the Royal Deck Tearoom to sample delicious cakes, scones, soups and sandwiches.
