Royal Yacht Britannia

Former roving royal palace

Royal Yacht Britannia

From 1953 to 1997 this extraordinary ship served the British Royal family as a floating palace.

Wandering their decks and past the cabins (for their 45 members of staff and 240 crew) of this luxurious vessel, an audio tour provides an intriguing snapshot of royal life in the second half of the 20th-century.

Royal Yacht Britannia Drawing Room

The yacht's moored outside Ocean Terminal, a sizeable but forgettable mall with all the usual range of shops and a cinema.
