The Royal Yacht Britannia, also known as Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia, is the former royal yacht of Queen Elizabeth II and was in service from 1954 to 1997. Visitors can now tour the decadent three-mast ship designed and built by John Brown & Co. Ltd. in the 1950s.

The yacht has a rich history that includes hosting US Presidents Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, and Ronald Reagan; it was also the yacht on which Prince Charles and Princess Diana took their honeymoon cruise in 1981. Now all five decks are open to the public and visitors can see the Queen's bedroom, the state dining and drawing rooms, and the royal deck tea room while on a tour of the yacht.
