Inside Royal Yacht Britannia, Queen Elizabeth’s Royal Cruise Ship

The Queen once said that “Britannia is the one place where I can truly relax.”

The Labour government decommissioned the ship in 1997 due to its high operation cost of £11 million each year, Reuters reported. That’s equivalent to about $23 million today.
At the decommissioning ceremony, the Queen shed a rare public tear.
The ship has made several appearances in Netflix’s “The Crown,” including season five.
