This December, for two dates only, The Royal Yacht Britannia is hosting ticketed festive evening private tours, allowing ‘behind the ropes’ access to experience the highlights of this iconic ship whilst taking in the grand Christmas decorations and learning about festive traditions aboard.
And for the first time, guests are invited to step into the spectacular Engine Room – an immaculate room of gleaming brass, chrome and white enamel – a testament to British engineering at its best.
The private tour involves:
- Quayside arrival, taking in the stunning 30ft Christmas Tree adorned with sparkling lights.
- A red carpet welcome, boarding Britannia via The Royal Brow, the entrance previously reserved only for Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family.
- ‘Behind-the-ropes’ private tour with Guides who provide a unique insight into the history of the Royal Yacht.
- Unprecedented access to Britannia’s Engine Room, which, with its chrome dials and old-fashioned steam turbines, has an air of antiquity and grandeur.
- Post-tour, Butlers serve a choice of Champagne or mulled wine with mince pies in the State Drawing Room.
- A special gift of a Britannia Christmas Pudding, made on board, beautifully wrapped in organza and finished with Britannia ribbon.
Individual tickets are priced at £50 per person inc. VAT.
Departure will be quayside at 7 pm.
