We had a very lovely and relaxed stay. The staff were attentive and very helpful. The cabin was clean and spacious. The inside of the ship was a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. The ballroom was nicely decorated for a wedding. The food was great too!

True Luxury from a Bye-gone Era

The staff, service, food and accommodations were exemplary. Lovely nautical/arts & crafts era decor. Think Titanic with a modern sumptuous twist. We were delighted to find out tickets to the Brittania were included. Great location, simple to take the tram into the downtown, as we were travelling by train. Pricey, but well worth the splurge.
