Join HM the Queen’s 90th Party On Board The Royal Yacht Britannia
For over 40 years, Britannia was home to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family and was an ambassador for Great Britain and the Commonwealth sailing over a million miles around the world. HM The Queen described the Royal Yacht as “the one place I can truly relax”.
Now Scotland’s Best Attraction (VisitScotland) and one of TripAdvisor’s top 10 UK landmark attractions, on board the Royal Yacht Britannia you can follow in the footsteps of Royalty to discover the heart and soul of this most special of Royal residences.
Having played such an important role in The Queen’s life, Britannia is delighted to be celebrating Her Majesty’s 90th birthday year in style. Events are taking place on the weekend of the 11th and 12th of June, when her official birthday will be celebrated across the UK. The programme includes:
Complimentary Commemorative Birthday Cupcakes and Britannia Fizz
Complimentary birthday cake and Britannia’s own label pink fizz will be served to all visitors on The Queen’s 90th official birthday weekend. 5,000 individual vanilla and butter cream bite-sized cakes are being made especially for the occasion by Edinburgh-based ‘Lizzie’s Tea Party’, and topped with a hand-made dark chocolate disc, stamped in gold, from the multi award-winning Aberfeldy-based The Highland Chocolatier.
The Queen’s favourite dishes will be served in The Royal Deck Tea Room, including Balmoral Leek & Potato soup, Cucumber sandwiches and Coronation Chicken sandwiches, Chocolate Perfection pie and her favourite Dubonnet cocktail, garnished with edible diamonds.
Musical Programme
There will be a programme of live music from 1–4pm with a jazz trio playing the American Songbook on both days and Britannia’s pianist will also be performing on the original Baby Grand piano once played by Princess Diana and Noel Coward.
