Britannia

P&O Cruises Britannia Naming Ceremony Photos and Video

On 10 March 2015, P&O’s massive 3,575 passenger ship Britannia was named in Southampton by Her Majesty The Queen. It was a ceremony with lots of pomp and marching bands. Here are some images I captured of the event as well as a video I made of her naming the ship. To see all my photos , including some of the celebrities there, see my Britannia Naming Ceremony Flickr Album.

I grew up in Zimbabwe, but I have been based in London since 1987. My travel life spans more than three decades and that includes more than 95 cruises. In 2005, I launched Tips for Travellers to make it easy and fun for people to discover, plan and enjoy incredible cruise vacations. And the rest, as they say, is history. I have the largest cruise vlogger channel currently on YouTube, with more than 3 million video views per month.
