Britannia Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Britannia is a great ship, but with a few little niggles.
Walking around the ship you get a sense of just how large she is, especially walking down the cabin corridors. She is beautifully equipped with restaurants, coffee lounges, bars, entertainment areas. The main deck area has a double pool arrangement. There is a separate pool area for adults only called Serenity. Plus there is the Retreat for those who have money to burn. If you enjoy Real Ales then Brodie's will make you very happy indeed - there are 70 different ales to try! And for those of you who enjoy wine, there seemed to be a huge selection of different colours and tastes.
Activities on board are the usual array of shows, quizzes, games, etc. There is a separate Cinema room for those who enjoy films. The view of the screen is hampered though as the rows are not elevated enough front to back.

Port Reviews
Oslo
Lovely place to walk around. Everything is right by the dock where Britannia Moored up. Ten minute walk saw us in the center of town. No need to us the excursion.
Copenhagen
The shuttle bus drops you off in the center of Copenhagen. During our walk around the city we saw many people on excursions walking around the same things we were.
Stockholm
Another place where you don't necessarily need to use the Shuttle Bus even. Center of town is around 20 minute walk. Plenty of stuff to look around. People are friendly and helpful.
Tallinn
The walk to the Old Town took us around 15 minutes from the ship, couldn't be bothered to wait in the shuttle bus queue. After that it was all uphill walking through the old town, up to the castle. But what a view from the top !
Helsinki
Walked from the ship to the main shopping area in around 25 minutes - this is where the shuttle bus brings you I was told. We then walked to the market by the old town port. If you like fish you could get an excellent lunch here. we then spent a couple of hour walking around this area and then through Kaivopuisto Park on the way back to the ship.
Brussels
The shuttle bus now drops you in the heart of Blankenberge, meaning the trip to Brugges is really easy - cross the road to the train station and pay 5 euros for a ticket. We actually looked araound Blankenburg instead as we have done Brugges before. It is a nice town with a typical seaside resort feel, including the Crazy Golf which was very entertaining. There are lots of chocolate shops around for getting the prezzies for family.
