I had the pleasure to do the Britannia on my trip to Edinburgh in 2013. I’ll never forget the experience.

The Queen first visit to a foreign country was Panama, my beloved country navigating the previous Royal vessel The Gothic. It crossed the Panama Canal while the queen and Prince Philip visited Cristobal on the Atlantic side and Panama City on the Pacific. As a 14 year old student (given the day off) I lined one of our narrow streets on her way to Panama presidential palace in a yellow convertible Cadillac with red leather upholstery. She was so delicate and to me, ten feet away, the most beautiful english rose. I am 84years old now sitting in my back patio next to my mango tree, retired bilingual Panama Canal claims expert, your loyal suscriber, ... and the yellow Cadillac belonged to my cousin Josefina. Her father, a successful businessman gave it to her as a graduation present in 1952. Surprised you, eh!

My dad worked in the Engine room 😊

What a charmer our Nicolas is.

This was fascinating! I didn't realize the ship was still kept up and available for use for tours and parties. Thank you for the tour!

0:40 The Queen looks so happy and relaxed. I think she was a very private person and the Yacht was the perfect, intimate space for Her & The Royal Family.

This was special as it brings back memories of when my husband and I toured the yacht in 2012. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much, Nicolas. The royal yacht does not disappoint. It's beautiful. Even the engine room is gorgeous.

Thank you fir sharing this tour. This is simply this best traveling at the time for the Royal Family.

Nicolas, I can’t thank you enough for the tour! I have always wanted to se Britannia. It is even more fabulous than I expected.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Thank you Nicolas for this lovely tour. It is fun to see how other people live. 🐕🇺🇸

I have ALWAYS wanted to see The Royal Yacht Britannia! Looks like you got to go past the cords a bit, bringing us closer to the authentic experience. Thanks for sharing, Nic! xoxo

I ❤ anything Royal Family. Thank you from the USA.

What a wonderful tour! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I felt totally emersed in the tour, as though I was there! Since I may never be able to see it in person, I appreciated seeing behind-the-scenes of the famous vessel!

Nicolas love xx l remember you saying it will be a honor and a bonus to see the queen you have accomplished your wish and you were able to visit the Britannia shop where the queen and family love and stayed thru out there journey. Awesome spectacular view my sweet Nicolas love their rooms and their office. Nice to see where they enjoyed their lives together and all the ship is fantastic. You are so cute with the Captain Hat 🤠 it is beautiful on you Nicolas . Thank you for bringing me to see this beautiful place . Our Queen was so happy and loved by all . See you soon love. Take care Nicolas. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much for the tour Nicholas. It was not only enjoyable, but informative as well. It's so nice to see a piece of royalty and history preserved!

Wonderful video Nicolas! Thank you!

Hi Nicolas I am from Puerto Rico .I enjoy this video very much .Thanks for this tour.Have a good week.

My husband and I toured the yacht 5 years ago when our cruise ship stopped in Edinburgh…it’s so beautiful in person!

Queen Elizabeth II had such great taste. Everything was neat, clean, coordinated, and in its place. Thanks for sharing this tour with us.

Ohhhhhh.... This was one of the most exciting videos I have seen from you... I looovvvveeed viewing the rooms and envisioned the Royal family and guests aboard. I was 5 when I sailed on the Queen Mary ( 1960). My mum, brother and I were in second class . My brother and I would sneak up to first class at night and watch! Lol we never got caught...well.. not from anyone except mum. We were ģoing to England back to my mums home in Norwich. The casualness of the rooms, almost understated reminded me of the Eisenhower's and Churchill's home. This was brillant...

Just watched the episode about the Royal Yacht on the Crown. So interesting to then get a tour of it. Thanks for taking us along.

The Corgi in the hospital bed made me smile 😊 fascinating video,thank you Nicholas.

Thankyou dearest Nicolas for such an amazing and educating trip! I didnt spend a thing and thoroughly enjoyed myself. you are such a love xoxoxox

How great to see the Royal yacht. Thank you very much; I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

This video is absolutely FANTASTIC. Thank you for taking us here and showing us such beautiful rooms on the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Thank You Nicholas , , this video brought back many memories of life at sea with my husband a ship's captain , I understand why the Queen enjoyed life at sea so much . My husband's old school held a reunion dinner on board about 4 years ago a great success .

Fascinating thank you very much for posting this . Happy Spring

We visited HMS Britannia last august and loved it. I can understand the queen needed this place to really feel at home. Thank you to remind us this great moment of our stay in Scotland

Thank you so very much for taking us on this wonderful tour. So special. I hope some day you have a party there!

Thank you so much Nicolas, this was so interesting! 😊

Ohhhh how lovely thank you Nicolas 💜

I had always wondered what happened when the yacht was retired. I’m so pleased to see it preserved and available for tours and for private bookings. I was especially impressed with the engine room! 😊

Thank you Nicholas for the tour I visited the Royal Yacht many years ago and it was lovely to see it again

This was so interesting! I didn’t want it to end. 💖 Thank you Nicolas!! 🥰

Wow, adding this to my list for when we come to Edinburgh. Afternoon tea on the Britannia🎉😊

Thank you very much for this, Nicolas, I really enjoyed it. If ever I should be fortunate enough to visit Edinburgh again, H.M. Yacht Britannia is on my must see list!

Nicholas, TY for such a enjoyable tour! Towards the end there-had to smile when I saw the P&G BOLD laundry detergent!! Thanks again!🇺🇸👋

Thank you! This made my day. I absolutely love the Yacht. The colors, the wood, the brass/metals, and how they made it a home away from home. I was picturing the Queen and her family being there and imagining what it would feel like to live that life... especially back in the 50s...a time in history I wish I could snap my fingers and be living in myself. ♥♥♥

What a special treat. Thank you this wonderful treat.

Perfect timing for me as I'll be in Edinburgh next week. I was unsure about this spot but you've helped me to make up my mind: I'm making time to visit Britannia!

Waouh! What a nice discovery Nicolas!!!!!!🥰😍

Wonderful video! I would love to take a tour! Thanks for sharing. Happy 1st day of Spring 🎉❤

Awesome to see such history. Definitely very nice but much more down to earth decor than I would expect. Thank you for giving us this look into history!

Hi Nicolas, such a beautiful ship, thanks for inviting us along ⛴️, Caroline Ireland 🇮🇪

fantastic!! thank you!!

Dear Nicholas , So nice to see you always so classy and such an inspiration Love , love your blogs ❤🇨🇦

What a fun time touring the Britannia with you. It would be great fun to host a small dinner party of friends and family.

This was an amazing video. I would love to visit the Britannia.

Great tour/ video. Thank you x

That is one gorgeous ship

Beautiful! Thank you for the tour of such a special yacht. It’s wonderful the Britannia can still be experienced today.

You were in your element, Nicolas. It was an enjoyable tour. Thank you for sharing something that was dear to you.

Below deck is one of my favorite tv shows, it’s so interesting seeing this version. And they did have separate rooms like on the crown 😁

Amazing! Thanks for the tour. Will you be touring Edinburgh Castle once the weather warms up...?

Fascinating having a little glimpse into this amazing piece of history

Very enjoyable video!🙏 I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t know Edinburg was on the coast. 😬 Had to confirm via google maps. 😳 😂

What an enjoyable video. Thanks Nicolas. So interesting to see this beautiful ship and your commentary.

Thank YOU for bringing us around a piece of history! Much appreciated and enjoyed your voice overs. You'll make an excellent tour guide!

What a delightful video, Nicolas! I had forgotten about the Royal Yacht. Definitely worth a visit next time I go to Edinburgh.

Wonderful! What a treat! Thanks for taking us aboard, Nicholas.

That was great, thank you for the tour. Beautiful ship❤

Thank you so much for the wonderful tour. Love seeing things like this. I hope there are more.

Well thank you sir for taking us on an adventure that we most likely would never see. 💕

The combination of you, the beautiful way you speak and the tour of this rare gem make such an enjoyable experience. Thank you so much!♥️

Wonderful tour ~~~ Thank you for sharing. You would be a great voice behind the tours Nicolas, your voice is so soothing & lovely.

Thank you so much for the tour, Nicholas! That was really interesting and I was particularly struck that nothing seemed over-the-top extravagant or ostentatious. It was all very tasteful and a lot of it quite humble. And their beds seemed very small. That surprised me. I liked seeing the little dogs in each room also. I'm sure they are Corgis!

Thank you, Nicholas, for this lovely tour of Britannia. I'll never get to see it in person so I'm happy that you shared it with us.

What a wonderful tour! It's so nice to see something from the past being kept so well for the future. 😀

Just Wonderful! Thank you Nicolas 😊

Loved visiting this yacht when I was in Scotland a few years ago. Had tea and scones, and enjoyed the whole visit. Thanks for reminding me of my trip.

Thanks very much for the tour. I have been intrigued by the Royal Yacht since the last episode of the Crown. It is quite beautiful, as one would expect.

What a fantastic tour off this beautiful royal yacht. Thank you for showing us around. 🥰

Thank you for the tour Nicholas. That was absolutely facinating!

Thank you, great fun!

Excellent! I saw The Crown episode where they wanted to port this beautiful sailing ship! Thanks for the tour!

Thank you so much for a tour I may never see-it is spectacular-and thank you for your calmness it helps me calm down-from New York!

Thank you Nicolas for sharing this beautiful timepiece with us all. You looked good in the Captains Hat - Captain Nicolas - it suits you. Thank you so much.

Great tour

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Happy Spring Equinox. Take care Nicolas.💚✌️

Wow, that yacht was a complete cruise but in a smaller size!

Thank you for sharing this tour. It was so interesting. I would love to see it in person one day.

Thank you Nicolas! Just a great little look at culture and history! Very enjoyable!

Thank you for taking us on a very special and informative journey! I knew that the Royal Britannia was on exhibition, but I didn’t know that it was in Edinburgh. The subdued elegance of the decor is such a testament to the values of the Queen. Always an absolute joy viewing your videos😊.
