Visit The Royal Yacht Britannia

Best UK Attraction (Which? Magazine)

Step aboard The Royal Yacht Britannia as the Best UK Attraction (Which? Magazine) re-opens, Wednesdays – Sundays, from 12 May! Just 2 miles from Edinburgh’s city centre, head to the sea to follow in the footsteps of Royalty and discover all five decks of this iconic ship. All ages will love to explore with their own free audio guide (children even get their own version), as they discover life on board for the Royal Family. See where they spent their holidays to the Western Isles and where celebrities and esteemed guests, from Sir Winston Churchill to Nelson Mandela, were entertained at sparkling state functions. Head below decks to where the crew of 220 Royal Yachtsmen lived, slept and worked as well as the gleaming Engine Room.

With waterfront views, the Royal Deck Tea Room is the perfect place to enjoy freshly baked cakes, scones, soups and sandwiches, all made on board in the Galley kitchens.
