“The experience of dining aboard Britannia was out of this world”

Be charmed by her elegance, her history,

her majesty...

Berthed in Edinburgh’s historic port of Leith,

Britannia makes a truly impressive venue for an

evening’s entertainment. Welcomed into the State

Drawing Room, you gather with your fellow guests

for a glass or two of chilled champagne and a

selection of irresistible canapés. You are then invited

into the State Dining Room, where world leaders

and celebrities were entertained, from Frank

Sinatra and Ursula Andress to Presidents

Mandela and Clinton.

A Royal experienceTraditionally used by the Royal Family for cocktail parties

and deck games, the Royal Deck is now a contemporary

space with floor to ceiling glass windows. With spectacular

views across the Forth, it is perfect for everything

from product launches, to dinners and dancing.

The Officers’ WardroomThe Wardroom is where Britannia’s Officers once dined

and is now the perfect setting for private dining and smaller,

more intimate occasions. Today 8-18 guests can experience a

feast for the senses with a bespoke six-course tasting menu.

When in service, a Wardroom dinner was a grand affair as

Officers dressed in their ‘Red Sea Rig’ comprising a white shirt,

black trousers, patent leather shoes and cummerbund.

For the event of a lifetimeThe Queen always had entertainment for her

guests on board and we follow that tradition. Whether

it’s beautiful background music during dinner, or a

magnificent fireworks display, we are here to ensure

your requirements are met. We can even arrange for

The Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines to perform

a spectacular Beating Retreat after dinner.
