Britannia
Britannia was officially named by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 2015. The ship’s design is inspired by British cruising traditions yet looks forward to the future with an array of high-tech features.
It was designed by British company Richmond International, who have also overseen hotels like Four Seasons Hampshire and Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park. You’ll see this same hotel-quality detail in Britannia, with its luxe touches of marble, wood and glass.
