Springtime on the Water

Spring brings a curiosity for new discoveries, changing views and a sea breeze on the open decks as longer days return to The Royal Yacht Britannia and Edinburgh begins to bloom. Make a day out with family or friends, then share your highlights of exploring the State Apartments and Crew’s Quarters over cream tea in the Royal Deck Tearoom. Whether the sun sparkles on the water or a shower drifts across the Firth, Britannia is a great all-weather option.
