It is with great pleasure for me to release Britannia V3 (March 2015)
Arriving in spring 2015, Britannia will represent the very best of the best! The largest cruise ship built exclusively for Britain, she will combine signature P&O Cruises features with the very latest innovations in dining, entertainment and modern design.
Britannia will embrace a bold new 94 metre Union Flag on her bow displaying the longest version of the Flag anywhere in the world. The new style represents a contemporary approach to cruising which looks to the future, whilst celebrating the past. The new imagery on the bow will be sympathetic to Britannia’s sweeping lines and enhance her presence across the world in port and at sea.Her other distinctive features include blue funnels carrying an illuminated rising sun motif which depicts the Oriental part of the Peninsular and Oriental (P&O) name on the company’s Coat of Arms
Britannia will has a capacity of 3,647 passengers who will be able to enjoy the facilities on 15 public decks. In total there will be 1,837 cabins comprising 64 suites, 1,313 balcony cabins and 460 inside cabins. All the outside cabins will have balconies and in response to the increasing number of solo travellers P&O Cruises Britannia will have 15 single balcony cabins and 12 single inside cabins, this amounts to more single cabins than any other cruise ship.
On the 27th February it was announced that Her Majesty the Queen will name Britannia on the 10th March in Southampton.
Enjoy this ship Virtual ship as I have greatly enjoyed creating her. In the future I do plan on updating the model.

Note: For the VSF version I have included 'Bridge lookouts' These can be activated using the "page down/up" keys. Also if you have a problem with performance in the folder just simply rename the 'Anim.x' file as this will delete her deck details.
Using the 'Insert' and 'Delete' keys you can now add/remove the tenders on each side of the ship. This version has also been resized and added radars as well as texture fixes.
