Discover the UK’s Best Visitor Attraction, The Royal Yacht Britannia!
Where better to be than by the sea this February holidays! All aboard The Royal Yacht Britannia to explore all five decks of a floating palace, just two miles from Edinburgh’s city centre. All ages will love listening to their free audio guides, with both adult and children’s versions available, as they walk in the footsteps of Royalty, celebrities, and world leaders.
Feel like the Admiral of the ship looking out to the waterfront views from the Bridge. See the understated elegance of the State Apartments that HM Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family called home for over 44 years. Below decks imagine life as a Royal Yachtsmen, try on their uniforms for a family photo and see how quickly you can get all shipshape in our rope tying challenge.
Finish your day in the Royal Deck Tea Room with a slice of cake or a freshly baked scone, made in the Royal Galley!
