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!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ when your comment has nothing to do with the subject, no matter what your comment is about, you are trolling.
What a charmer our Nicolas is.
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.
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!
What an incredible story - thank you so much for sharing it here with us all! Have a lovely day x
Really interesting comment! Thank you. I'm from Canada and I did see the Queen 4 times in my life all in Canada. The first time at 5 years old. She did get around. The Queen had the most beautiful complexion even as she got older.
That was so lovely to hear about. Thank you.
I had the pleasure to do the Britannia on my trip to Edinburgh in 2013. I’ll never forget the experience.
Thank you so much, Nicolas. The royal yacht does not disappoint. It's beautiful. Even the engine room is gorgeous.
So glad you enjoyed it!
The gleaming Engine Room is rather special!
I had visited her many years ago. It is pleasant to see it again. Thanks.
I ❤ anything Royal Family. Thank you from the USA.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
What a fun time touring the Britannia with you. It would be great fun to host a small dinner party of friends and family.
Hello how are you doing?
Indeed, The Royal Yacht Britannia is available for exclusive use evening events, just as Her Majesty entertained presidents and prime ministers on board.
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.
So glad you enjoyed it!
We hope you can visit The Royal Yacht Britannia one day too!
Queen Elizabeth II had such great taste. Everything was neat, clean, coordinated, and in its place. Thanks for sharing this tour with us.
What i like about Britannia is that she is luxurious but at the same time simple and stylish not in you face over the top pomp extravagant decadent like not all but many yacht of today out side of that good video thank you for posting it.
This was special as it brings back memories of when my husband and I toured the yacht in 2012. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful video Nicolas! Thank you!
Thank you fir sharing this tour. This is simply this best traveling at the time for the Royal Family.
Thank you so much Nicolas, this was so interesting! 😊
Hello 👋how are you doing?
My husband and I toured the yacht 5 years ago when our cruise ship stopped in Edinburgh…it’s so beautiful in person!
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
Glad it recalled happy memories for you!
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your visit!
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

The Corgi in the hospital bed made me smile 😊 fascinating video,thank you Nicholas.
Hi Nicolas, such a beautiful ship, thanks for inviting us along ⛴️, Caroline Ireland 🇮🇪
How great to see the Royal yacht. Thank you very much; I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Fascinating thank you very much for posting this . Happy Spring
What a special treat. Thank you this wonderful treat.
Wow, that yacht was a complete cruise but in a smaller size!
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
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!
We hope you can visit The Royal Yacht Britannia one day too!
Nothing can stop what’s coming!
It’s going to shock the world!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Waouh! What a nice discovery Nicolas!!!!!!🥰😍
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...
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!
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 .
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Thank you Nicholas for the tour I visited the Royal Yacht many years ago and it was lovely to see it again
Ohhhh how lovely thank you Nicolas 💜
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!
We hope you were able to visit and enjoyed your time aboard!
@@royalyachtbritannia We did, and it was absolutely worth the visit!
I remember the Queen getting teary during a ceremony when the ship was decommissioned.
Wonderful tour ~~~ Thank you for sharing. You would be a great voice behind the tours Nicolas, your voice is so soothing & lovely.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Thank you so very much for the tour, something I would never think of doing if touring the area.
Amazing! Thanks for the tour. Will you be touring Edinburgh Castle once the weather warms up...?
Thank you for sharing this tour. It was so interesting. I would love to see it in person one day.
Hi how are you doing?
Thanks so much I really enjoyed the tour .God bless you.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯🙏🏼
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!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Great tour/ video. Thank you x
fantastic!! thank you!!
Thank you so very much for taking us on this wonderful tour. So special. I hope some day you have a party there!
Wow, adding this to my list for when we come to Edinburgh.
Afternoon tea on the Britannia🎉😊
That is one gorgeous ship
Fascinating having a little glimpse into this amazing piece of history
Interesting video!
The Britannia is magnificent, and the host is unbelievably handsome❣️
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
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 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!
We hope to see you on board soon!
So fascinating and I couldn’t help seeing the corgi dog plush toys 🥰
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Nicolas is the very manifestation of what the Royal Yacht embodies: Relaxed gentry and sophistication.
What a treat to see such a grand ship. I’m
Amazed that it’s rented out for private functions. I wonder if the ship will ever go to sea again?
I remember when we visited there was a Rolls Royce on board. They knew how to live it up!
Thank you, great fun!
Great tour
Well thank you sir for taking us on an adventure that we most likely would never see. 💕
What an enjoyable video. Thanks Nicolas. So interesting to see this beautiful ship and your commentary.
Hello how are you doing?
Thanks. Nicholas that was great!
This was an amazing video. I would love to visit the Britannia.
This was so interesting! I didn’t want it to end. 💖 Thank you Nicolas!! 🥰
What a delightful video, Nicolas! I had forgotten about the Royal Yacht. Definitely worth a visit next time I go to Edinburgh.
We hope to see you on board when you are next in Edinburgh!
Dear Nicholas ,
So nice to see you
always so classy and such an inspiration
Love , love your blogs
❤🇨🇦
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. ♥♥♥
Excellent! I saw The Crown episode where they wanted to port this beautiful sailing ship! Thanks for the tour!
As a tax payer I do not see why their luxury should be funded by the great British public; the Queen's sickening level of entitlement re this yacht was nauseating.Parasites, the lot of them.
Very enjoyable video!🙏
I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t know Edinburg was on the coast. 😬 Had to confirm via google maps. 😳 😂
Wonderful video! I would love to take a tour! Thanks for sharing. Happy 1st day of Spring 🎉❤
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!🇺🇸👋
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 😁
My dad worked in the Engine room 😊
Thank you so much! I hope to visit and see Britannia one day with my own eyes.
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!
The Queen and Prince Philip wanted something simple and comfortable.
Nicolas, this was very different and quite interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
One of the most iconic photos of Diana was her enthusiastically greeting William and Harry aboard the Royal Yacht. I was quite pleased when I learned that that photo was taken here in Toronto, as the boys joined their parents on their trip to Canada.
Amazing!! Thanks so much for taking us on a tour of a very special ship. God bless 😊
Hi how are you doing?
Beautiful! Thank you for the tour of such a special yacht. It’s wonderful the Britannia can still be experienced today.
I would love to see it. I really like how it's furnished.
Seeing it seems to bring forth more emotion since she's gone to be with the Lord. Thanks for sharing, Nicholas.
Thank you so much for the visit.
It was very agreable. 😊
That was a wonderful tour .🌞
By far the cleanest engines I've ever seen in a ship. And I love the fireplaces. A floating castle, certainly.
What a beautiful, spacious boat/yacht/ship. It is no wonder the Queen enjoyed conducting her foreign affairs from this venue! Thank you for taking us along👍🏻(love your music, always, as well!)
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Happy Spring Equinox. Take care Nicolas.💚✌️
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.
Just Wonderful! Thank you Nicolas 😊
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!♥️
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!
Definitely going to go there on my next trip !
One of my favorites vlogs. Keep up the good work, Nicolas. We love you.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I really enjoyed this little tour, thank you Nicolas.
We plan to visit next year so this was a great video to watch and so beautifully narrated in your elegant style.
