All aboard wish a Happy Birthday to The Princess Royal! Did you know that The Princess held her 21st birthday celebrations aboard Britannia? The silver-grey carpet in the State Dining Room was rolled up to expose a wooden dance floor.

We’re thrilled to announce that the royal sailing yacht Bluebottle has won the Dragon Class at Cowes Week - one of the world’s most prestigious sailing regattas.

Built in 1948 and gifted to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip as a wedding present, Bluebottle made a return to racing in 2021 after a period of restoration by the Royal Yacht.

Currently on loan from the Royal Collection, this historic yacht is part of The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust’s fleet and continues to inspire with its legacy and performance.

Congratulations to the incredible crew and all involved in bringing Bluebottle back to glory!

Visit The Royal Yacht Britannia

A unique five-star visitor experience, featured in TripAdvisor’s UK Top 5 and rated Scotland’s Best Visitor Attraction for the last 12 years by national tourism agency, VisitScotland, The Royal Yacht Britannia is an essential visit while in Edinburgh. For over forty years, the Royal Yacht sailed over one million miles on nearly a thousand official visits for the British Royal Family. Now berthed in Edinburgh’s historic port of Leith, Britannia is a fascinating visitor attraction and also one of the UK’s most prestigious event venues.

Step aboard and follow in the footsteps of royalty to see where Prince Charles and Princess Diana honeymooned and Liz Taylor, Frank Sinatra and presidents Reagan, Mandela and Gorbachev were wined and dined.

The captivating handset tour, available in 30 languages, takes visitors round five decks and is a rare glimpse into the public and private lives of the British Royal Family. Highlights of the tour include the State Apartments, the Sun Lounge and the Engine Room. Experience stunning waterfront views and waiter service in the Royal Deck Tea Room, where you can enjoy delicious, freshly prepared, home-made food and a warm welcome.
