Das königliche Kreuzfahrtschiff Britannia
Die königliche Yacht Britannia ist eines der berühmtesten Schiffe der Welt. Es wurde 1953 von der John Brown's Werft zu Wasser gelassen, und die Königliche Yacht stand über vierzig Jahre mit Stolz im Dienste der Königin und des ganzen Lands. In dieser Zeit diente die Britannia der Königin und der Königsfamilie auf 968 offiziellen Reisen, von den entlegendsten Punkten der Südsee bis tief in die Antarktis. Buchen Sie jetzt schon Ihre Tickets vor! The Royal Yacht Britannia is one of the world's most famous ships. Launched at John Brown's Shipyard in Clydebank in 1953, the Royal Yacht proudly served Queen and country for forty-four years. During that time Britannia carried The Queen and the Royal Family on 968 official voyages, from the remotest regions of the South Seas to the deepest divides of Antarctica.
At the beginning of January 1997, Britannia set sail from Portsmouth to Hong Kong on her last and longest voyage. On 11 December 1997 Britannia was decommissioned at Portsmouth Naval Base in the presence of The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and fourteen senior members of The Royal Family. Four months later, after intense competition from cities around the UK, the Government announced that Edinburgh was successful in its bid to become Britannia's new home. She is now owned by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust, a charitable organisation whose sole remit is the maintenance of Britannia in keeping with her former role. Britannia is now permanently moored in Edinburgh's historic port of Leith and visitors can step on board the ship that was once home to the world's most famous family.
