Weekly Snaps
10 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.

A favourite photo opportunity aboard The Royal Yacht Britannia is next to the ship’s Bell and decorative binnacle, an ideal location to capture lasting memories of your visit.

Britannia offers an exceptional visitor experience, with numerous picturesque spots along the tour route to stop and snap a picture with your friends and family.

Strike a pose at the famous Royal Brow, once reserved exclusively for the Royal Family as their entrance aboard Britannia.

Housekeeper, Renata, is seen polishing a table in the State Drawing Room, a space traditionally used by the Royal Family for relaxation and entertaining guests.

Unwind in the elegant Royal Deck Tearoom and savour a daily selection of freshly prepared soups, sandwiches, cakes, and scones from the onboard Galley.

Enjoy the Tearoom’s Royal Yacht blend by PekoeTea, perfectly paired with a warm, freshly baked scone.

A delightful indulgence, the Royal Deck Tearoom’s fruit scones are bursting with flavour and baked daily in our onboard Galley.

How many cuddly Corgis can you spot on your tour? Clarence and his friends are dressed in their cosy autumn outfits and hiding throughout the Royal Yacht, see if you can find them all!

This beautiful teak-lined room was one of Queen Elizabeth II's favourite spaces aboard Britannia. She often enjoyed breakfast and afternoon tea here, taking in the spectacular views through the large picture windows.

Discover sparkling glitter-covered jewellery boxes and adorable plush unicorns in the Shop. A magical gift for little ones.

Fingal’s Ballroom offers a stunning setting for exclusive events, featuring a dramatic double-height ceiling, two sweeping staircases, and a private bar.

Once the command centre aboard Fingal, the Bridge has been transformed into a stylish space ideal for private dining, celebrations, and meetings
