Weekly Snaps
14 March 2025
Photography has always played an important role on Britannia. While she was in service, there was always a 'Yottie' appointed, nicknamed 'Snaps', to take photographs of life aboard the Royal Yacht.
In keeping with this tradition, we now have our own Photographer in Residence, Ruth McQuiggan, who has been capturing our very own Weekly 'Snaps' - a collection of snapshots of life around the ship today.

There are many fantastic places aboard The Royal Yacht Britannia to take a memorable selfie, such as in the elegant State Drawing Room.

Visitors enjoy listening to our complimentary audio guide, which is available in over 30 languages, as they explore the Yacht's five decks.

Lynne, Housekeeper, vacuum cleaning in the State Apartment, ensuring that the highest standards are upheld, as they were in Royal service.

To celebrate International Women's Day, our talented Pastry Chefs crafted tasty cakes for the team to enjoy.

Based on a traditional smoked haddock soup with potato and leeks, the Tearoom's Cream of Cullen skink & chive soup is a favourite with our visitors.

Treat yourself to a scrumptious cream tea in the Tearoom, featuring a glass of Britannia sparkling rosé, a choice of sandwich, a fruit scone and pot of loose-leaf tea.

As visitors follow the tour route, they will come across the onboard Garage, which houses a Land Rover. When Britannia was constructed in 1953, having a garage was deemed essential. However, getting the vehicle aboard was no easy feat!

In the Officer's Wardroom, Britannia's Officers would dine together and unwind after a long day on duty. Now, it can be hired to host exclusive evening events.

This dashing Captain Bear, available from the Britannia Gift Shop, is ready to set sail to a new home!

Featuring exclusive photography, illustrations and interesting facts about her life in service, Britannia's Souvenir Guidebook is an excellent memento to take away from your day aboard.

Spend an evening aboard Fingal Hotel, relaxing in one of the luxury duplex suites. Split over two floors and connected by a hand-carved spiral staircase, the cabins feature a living space, sumptuous bedroom and decadent bathroom.

Join us for a five-course Afternoon Tea, mouthwatering dinner and hand-crafted cocktails in the Art Deco inspired Lighthouse Restaurant.
