Weekly Snaps
18 July 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.

Visitors take a break from touring The Royal Yacht Britannia's five decks to take a memorable photo on the Verandah Deck.

Daniel, Visitor Assistant, is ready to greet visitors rain or shine! Britannia is an all-weather attraction, with the majority of the tour taking place indoors.

Housekeeper, Lynne, carefully polishing the Milton and Spode china in the onboard China and Glass Pantry.

In the China and Glass Pantry, every cup, saucer, bowl, and salt cellar is stored in its own specially-designed compartment, hook, or rack, ensuring each piece stays perfectly in place.

Reece, Hospitality Server, helps visitors in the Royal Deck Tearoom choose from a tempting selection of sweet and savoury options on the menu.

Senior Chef de Partie, Amelia, delicately piping choux pastry mixture in preparation for an evening event.

Irresistible fruit scones, freshly baked in the onboard Galley, best enjoyed with a generous dollop of clotted cream and strawberry preserve.

The inviting Drawing Room served as both a private retreat for the Royal Family and a formal space for receiving guests.

While exploring Britannia, visitors will pass through the sleeping quarters of the Petty Officers and Royal Marine Sergeants' Mess.

The Earth Squared range features a matching Highland cow tote bag and purse. A colourful reminder of your visit.

Step aboard Fingal Hotel and unwind in our nautically-inspired cabins, perfect for a luxurious and relaxing escape.
