The Royal Yacht Britannia

I have nothing but praise for the royal attractions and this one maintains the trend. The complimentary audio guide is packed with information and stories which is sure to delight both casual tourists and hardcore fans of “The Crown” alike. Taking tea on the Royal Deck was also a delight and somehow we all noticed that two of the service staff resembled Camilla and Anne respectively. Would 100% recommend the trip out to Leith to take in this wonderful attraction. Do allow at least 3-4 hours and look past the nasty mall in which the entrance is situated.

Really interesting and well put together self tour using pre recorded info. The ship is well worth seeing. Allow about 2 hours. The tram goes there from the city.

A must see when in Edinburgh, easy to get to by car or bus. Plenty of parking. Really good self guided tour, just the right amount of information, really interesting. A highlight of our trip to Edinburgh.

This is another tourist attraction that lives up to the hype online. This was a lot of fun and fascinating. It was so great that I brought my brother-in-law and husband back for a second time. Definitely a must see when you’re in Edinburgh.

Most of you will know the history of this boat. It was one of the late Queen's favourite places to be, but it was decommissioned in 1997.However, it was given straight to the charitable trust that now look after it and so much of it is as the Queen and the Royal Family left it.I'd recommend buying tickets before hand. After the visit you'll get an email that invites you to apply for a 12 month free pass, so the tickets are a bargain and you can visit as many times as you like even if it's only to go to the tea rooms.It takes a few hours to do the tour and it's fascinating. You each get an audio tour handset that's easy to work and you can go at your own pace.It might sound funny, but we felt quite privileged to be able to stroll around such a famous vessel.The only alteration has been the building of a glass walled tea room above the royal quarters. I'd recommend a visit. The quality of the food and service coupled with the view is worth it.From central Edinburgh it's a 15 min taxi or tram ride to the Ocean Terminal shopping mall in Leith which also houses the entrance to the Britannia tour.Even if you're not particularly a royalist, this is a fascinating attraction with real historical significance.

If you like boats/yachts, 20th century history, the royal family, or just want to see the floating palace" then this is the perfect attraction for you. The headset you get is in many languages and you set the pace of the tour. If you explore

Amazing experience. Staff just fabulous and helpful. We had mobility walkers, and they could not be more helpful.Had tea and cake, which was lush.There are lots of seating places, too.We spent nearly 3 hrs on Ship at a very leisurely pace.

Beautifully kept ship. It was interesting to see the accommodations the royal family lived in while traveling. I loved the decor and history behind all the ships that have been used by the royal family.Nice history piece. The restaurant was wonderful as well. Great selection of food and drink.
