‘Royal Day Out’, at Scotland’s Best Visitor<br />
Attraction – The Royal Yacht Britannia, where<br />

launched from the John Brown & Company<br />
shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland, on 16 April,<br />
1953. For over 44 years the Royal Yacht served<br />
the Royal Family, travelling more than a million<br />
nautical miles to become one of the most famous<br />
ships in the world. To Her Majesty The Queen,<br />
Britannia provided the perfect Royal residence<br />
for glittering state visits, official receptions,<br />
Royal honeymoons and relaxing family holidays.<br />
For Great Britain, she was a majestic symbol of<br />
the Commonwealth and a proud ambassador,<br />
generating billions of pounds in trade deals.<br />
For the Royal Family and the 220 dedicated<br />
crew of Royal Yachtsmen, she was home. Step<br />
aboard this famous ship and follow in the<br />
footsteps of Royalty. Explore Britannia’s five<br />
decks with the free audio guide, available in 30<br />
languages, as well as a children’s tour and <strong>British</strong><br />
Sign Language tablet. See the elegant State<br />
Apartments and the gleaming Engine Room.<br />
See where Prince William and Prince Harry spent<br />
their summer holidays. Discover where kings and<br />
queens, world leaders and celebrities were wined<br />
and dined; from Frank Sinatra and Liz Taylor to<br />
Nelson Mandela and Sir Winston Churchill.<br />
In the Royal Deck Tea Room you can enjoy freshly<br />
prepared, homemade food, stunning views and<br />
a warm welcome. Treat yourself with speciality<br />
teas, coffees and lunch where the Royal Family<br />
previously would have enjoyed drinks receptions,<br />
sumptuous buffets, or played deck games. u<br />
