The Royal Yacht Britannia
The Royal Yacht Britannia is situated in Edinburgh's historic port of Leith. For over forty years Britannia proudly served as a floating Royal residence to Her Majesty The Queen and the British Royal family. For 12 successive years, Britannia has been named Scotland's Best Visitor Attraction (VisitScotland) and is renowned as one of the world’s most luxurious and prestigious evening events venues. Whatever the event, Britannia is the perfect setting for a broad range of corporate events including product launches, gala dinners, staff incentives, and summer receptions. There is no place more special to celebrate that special birthday or anniversary than on board this beautiful iconic vessel. The meticulous attention to detail and high standard of service employed when the Yacht was on royal duty is still rigorously followed. Our Executive Chef, Mark Alston, can, as one might expect of a Royal Galley, prepare exquisite cuisine to match the fabulous surroundings. Whatever the occasion, an invitation to enjoy Britannia’s incomparable style and elegance never fails to impress.
