Welcome to the

Royal Deck Tea Room

The history of the Royal Deck
When Britannia was in service, the Royal Deck was used by the Royal
Family for games and entertaining. The historic appearance of the
Royal Deck has been re-created with an awning-style roof and original
teak deck. The awning was formerly used to protect the Royal Family
and their guests from the sun; today our awning and glass walls are to
protect you in all seasons.

The interior reflects the décor of the State Apartments which you will
see on your tour, with certain distinctive features recreated from these
rooms. With the additional bonus of breathtaking views over the Firth
of Forth, with ‘The Bridges’ in the distance, we hope you enjoy this
welcome addition to the Britannia experience.

Spend a little, help a lot…

Britannia is a charity and all proceeds go towards preserving and
maintaining this historic ship. Thank you for your support.

The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust - Registered Charity: SC028070.

A discretionary service charge of 10% will be added to your bill.

Antony Gormley sculpture

The sculpture of a man that is situated at the end of the old pier is by
British artist, Sir Antony Gormley, OBE. You can see the sculpture from
the entrance to the Tea Room.

The work is part of a project by Gormley and the National Galleries of

Scotland whose enigmatic work draws attention to the significant natural
environment of the Water of Leith. Sir Antony Gormley won the Turner
Prize in 1994 and, in 1997, created the Angel of the North.
