Audio tour record for royal yacht

The Royal Yacht Britannia now has the world's most translated audio tour, according to bosses at the visitor attraction.

The Royal Yacht Britannia now has the world's most translated audio tour, according to bosses at the UK visitor attraction.

Tours of the Edinburgh-berthed ship are now available in 27 different languages.

Brazilian, Portuguese, Turkish, Thai, Cantonese and Punjabi were all added this year to the list of languages on offer, in response to customer demand.

This took the total number of languages visitors can choose from to more than any other tourist attraction in the globe, officials believe.

Britannia sailed the oceans for nearly 44 years, travelling more than a million nautical miles and calling at in excess of 600 ports in 135 countries.

For the Queen and other members of the royal ramily it was a residence for state occasions, official receptions, honeymoons and holidays.

The 60th anniversary of its launch was celebrated last year.

The audio guide talks visitors through their walk around the Queen's former floating palace, situated in the Leith area of Edinburgh.

Highlights are said to include the State Dining Room, the Queen's bedroom, the crew's quarters and the engine room.
