Royal Yacht Britannia, Edinburgh

I didn't think I would enjoy this and wasn't that bothered with going. But my mum loves ships and the royals so it was her treat. Such a surprise. It shows just how down to earth our current royal family actually are. A simple place to call home aboard. My parents are elderly so the lifts were a great comfort because sometimes they miss parts of a tour because of stairs. Very informative audio guide.

The yacht where it is always 3:01pm. Parking the car is free, which is always good On shore, and aboard the staff are polite, and unobtrusive. A brief introduction is presented, and then after collecting a free audio guide, you proceed to the vessel. She is presented beautifully, you feel that she could put to sea at a moments notice. We spent over 2 hours aboard, and felt that we had had good value for money. The gift shop is priced around where you'd expect for a tourist driven economy. There is a café aboard, so if like us you take a packed lunch you'd have to be quite brazen to feel comfortable eating it during your visit. Why is it always 3:01pm? I'll leave it to you to discover...

This place is awesome! My husband and I went in not expecting much, just thought it might be a nice way to while away an hour or so. Wow, there is so much information. We thoroughly enjoyed the 3-4hrs we spent there. The café is a little pricey as you would expect, but very good. All up, it was a great day well spent :-)

Simply boring, consisting of a 1 hour crowded walk around a very dated boat listening to how the Royals enjoyed spending time playing cards, occasionally sunbathing, and hosting guests. The boat was not as grand as expected; I struggle to see what the £15 entry fee covers as it was pretty basic. The most enjoyable part was viewing the engine room!

The rooms are all wheelchair accessible. Ramps are all over. There is also a lift that brings people with disabilities to the different floors of this amazing royal yacht. I love Her Royal Highness' rattan chairs.
