More photos in and around the HMY Britannia (berthed at the port of Leith near Edinburgh)

Previous photos about the HMY Britannia (Link 1, Link 2)
It is very rare for normal laypeople to see the kind of conditions in which royalty lives like, and the HMY Britannia provides a way for people to be able to view such conditions. Visitors are able to see several sections of the ship, although there are cordoned off sections of the ship. The ship is visited by a large number of visitors every year, and is part of the various bus schedules that are part of the Edinburgh tourist circuit.

This is the wardroom inside the ship, meant for the senior officers, the captain and members of the royal family (if they are on board). The table has been preserved with places set, giving a view to visitors of the dining standards and facilities on the royal ship.

On the deck of the HMY Britannia. There is a specific tour route that visitors follow, you cannot just roam around here and there on the ship. This part involves a small walk on the deck of the ship, from where an open door eventually leads inside the ship.

This photo shows the berthed side of the ship at the port of Leith near Singapore. There are metal supports that ensure that the ship remains stable and at an even distance from the shore. In addition, there are multiple gangways for getting onto the ship, some of them meant for the tourists, one ceremonial one that is only meant for royalty, and some meant for supplies.
