Weekly Snaps
3 October 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.

Visitors enjoy touring the many areas of The Royal Yacht Britannia with the free audio guide handset, such as the elegant and spacious State Drawing Room.

From the Verandah Deck, visitors are treated to stunning views over the Firth of Forth. Make use of the onboard telescope for a closer look.

Baked daily in the Royal Deck Tearoom, our mouthwatering scones are served with clotted cream and strawberry preserve. Add a cup of tea for the perfect afternoon treat!

Amelia, Senior Chef de Partie, and Bob, Junior Sous Chef, carefully layer jam and white chocolate cream to create Victoria sponge cakes.

Our new shortbread is handmade exclusively for Britannia's Shop and presented in our signature flying flags box. Best enjoyed with a brew in our matching flying flags china mug.

The recycled plastic submarine and tug boat toys make an excellent nautical gift for young visitors.
