Celebrating the legacy of Britain’s longest reigning monarch, this evening event offers unparalleled splendour.
Guests will be welcomed onboard to the skirl of the bagpipes to a lavish drinks reception in the State Drawing Room where Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip once entertained some of the world’s most influential people. Then, indulge in a five-course dinner, complete with candlelight and music. Over dessert and coffee, William French, former private butler to Queen Elizabeth II, will share his experiences of working aboard this iconic ship.
After dinner, enjoy the nostalgic sounds of Rat Pack classics on the ship’s Royal Deck, where dancing is warmly encouraged and cocktails flow.
During the evening, Royal Yachtsmen, affectionately known as ‘Yotties’, who served aboard Britannia throughout her years of Royal service (1953 to 1997) will be on hand to regale you with their stories and offer a unique insight into her life on board Britannia. They’ll also be taking guests on a ‘behind the ropes’ tour.
Centenary Dinner takes place on 13 June 2026. Dress code is black tie/cocktail dress.
