Royal Yacht Britannia 

We visited the Royal Yacht Britannia in August 2022. Britannia launched 16 April 1953.

The included audio tour flows from one deck to another.

Travel notes

We were on a cruise around the UK. Our ship anchored near South Queensferry--we arrived via water shuttle. Then we shared a taxi to Britannia where I had booked an early entry.

There is a fee to enter Britannia. It's a beautiful yacht- glad I went.

The women enjoyed the tea and scones. I didn't think it was worth the price. The view was nice but not outstanding.

There is a gift shop.

There are toilets on board.

To save time, we shared a taxi to Edinburgh Castle, which took us the rest of the day until closing time.
