Photo of the Royal Yacht Britannia based in Leith, Edinburgh

Royal Yacht Britannia

Moored at Ocean Terminal in Leith, the Royal Yacht Britannia is a five-deck time capsule of royal life at sea.

Wander through the State Apartments, peek into the Engine Room, and finish with tea in the on-board Royal Deck Tea Room — all at your own pace with an included audio guide.

Britannia is Edinburgh’s most polished indoor attraction for the colder months, with clear wayfinding, lifts between decks, and friendly staff who know the ship’s stories inside out.

It’s a relaxed, well-run visit that suits solo travellers, families, and rainy-day plans alike.
