royal yacht
Sovereign's personal ship
A royal yacht is a ship maintained for the personal use of a monarch or royal family, used for ceremonial occasions, diplomatic visits, and private travel.
The term evokes luxury and state pageantry: The queen arrived aboard the royal yacht.
Britain's HMS Britannia served as the most famous example until decommissioned in 1997.
