The Royal Deck Tearoom
Whilst you are touring Britannia's five decks, tick the Royal Deck Tearoom off your bucket list and treat yourself and dine in the very same spot where the Royal Family would have played deck games and entertained.
Located at the top of the ship overlooking the waterfront of the Port of Leith you can enjoy a menu including speciality coffees and teas, tasty soups and sandwiches as well as mouth-watering cakes and scones created our Executive Pastry Chef and his team on board in the Royal Galley.
Prices and information in sample menus below are correct from December 2025 and may be subject to change.
