Ship Construction: building of the cruise ship Britannia

The Britannia is a ship that has a very loyal fan base which is quite something for a ship that has been around for such a short time. But how did it get here? We search for the best films for building the Britannia and the result is three short films. The first one sees good shots of the huge pieces being swung together.

The second is nearing completion with interviews including captain Paul Brown who is quoted as saying ‘You know your career’s going well when you’re having lunch with Prince Philip, chatting away about your job, having just escorted him and his wife (or the Queen as she’s also known) around a ship you’re the captain of.’

The third film is the first sail out, which also a great film. If you are a fan, then we hope we found you a great selection.

But this design, whilst thought to be copied has been shelved for bigger ships. It has been outgrown so fast. The Iona is next. For our tours of the ships, you can browse the site or here is a selection.     Aurora Ship Tour  Azura Ship Tour  Britannia Ship Tour  Arcadia Ship Tour                  If you are about to take your first cruise then you will have a million questions likeTAKING DRINKS ON BOARD ? CAN I ? HOW MUCH ?
