The Royal Yacht Britannia berthed at Ocean Terminal in 1998 and since then it has welcomed 5 million visitors.
The ship is the former holiday home to Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal Family who all enjoyed sailing around the world, but particularly around Scotland in the summer months.
Now it has been designated Scotland’s Best Visitor Attraction by VisitScotland.
Britannia is owned and managed by a charitable trust which is self-financing and it employs more than 150 people.
Bob Downie, Chief Executive of The Royal Yacht Britannia commented: “We are all extremely proud of Britannia’s success as a visitor attraction since ‘retiring’ from active service, which is testament to those who built her, those who served aboard, and those who now lovingly care for the former Royal Yacht.”
