Weekly Snaps
5 December 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.

Come aboard The Royal Yacht Britannia for a memorable day out and capture unforgettable moments along the way.
Guests explore the fascinating history of life aboard Queen Elizabeth II’s former floating palace at their own pace with our free audio guide, BSL/ASL tablet, and Braille script.
Relax in the charming Royal Deck Tearoom during your day aboard and take in the stunning waterfront views while enjoying a selection of soups, sandwiches, cakes, and scones — all prepared daily in the onboard Galley.
As part of the Tearoom’s festive cream tea, this iced cinnamon and mincemeat scone is paired with a rich brandy clotted cream for an indulgent seasonal treat.
Spot Clarence and his friends dressed in their Christmas jumpers hiding throughout the tour route. How many can you find?
