We had a pleasant afternoon visiting the Royal Yacht. It was good to see how the other half lived. Even the Royal car was on board.

It truly is well made - pure joy to see the beauty of the details. I'm no queen, but I'd also have shed a tear or two if I'd experienced that and then lost it - a most magnificient "holiday home".

Absolute waste of time and money!! Its just your average ship with a few fancy bits.. Edinburgh is an an amazing place & has way to much going for it to be wasting time with the likes of this. Do yourself a favour & give this one a miss!

Not that much to see really. Unlikely to excite you unless you are a real royalist.

The Britannia experience is enhanced with one of our complimentary audio handset tours, which gives a fascinating insight into the Royal Yacht. Thanks for visiting.

I have been 3 times to the Britannia. Once with a party of girls ages between 7 and 15. They thoroughly enjoyed using the handsets and were able to tour round on their own.

I thought for a former royal gaff it would be more splendid. Ive been on more luxurious battleships

It can be a surprise to see Britannia’s interiors look more like a country house than a luxury yacht, Jim B. Thanks very much for coming to visit.
