Excellent
The Britannia is a large sailing ship with a very old history. The design and construction of the entire ship took a long time. You can also see some pretty good views here. The ship is very large and moored at the port.
[Scenery] Very good
The Royal Yacht Britannia attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Britannia was built by John Brown & Co. Ltd in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It was launched on April 16, 1953 by Queen Elizabeth II, and the maiden voyage was on January 11, 1954. It was designed to be converted into a hospital ship during wartime, but was never actually converted. Britannia has been used by the Queen and other members of the Royal Family on 696 foreign visits and 272 visits within British waters. In 1981, Prince Charles and Princess Diana used the Britannia for their honeymoon. In 1986, he also rescued 1,000 refugees from the civil war in Aden. In 1997, due to operating costs, the Labour government announced the retirement of the Britannia after it came to power. The Britannia has traveled more than 1 million miles. After decommissioning, it was permanently moored at the Marine Terminal at the Port of Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland, and became a tourist attraction. The decoration of the ship is not ostentatious, but it does not lose its elegant temperament. Visitors can buy tickets to board the ship to visit the elegant suites, crew quarters and the eye-catching Royal Deck Tea Room, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea, or enjoy traditional British style on the deck. Afternoon tea and cakes, feel the life of the royal family when they sailed to sea on a yacht.
