Plans tabled by Royal Yacht Enterprises would see the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) ship, MV Fingal, undergo a £3.5million conversion into a 23-bedroom hotel.
The hotel would feature bedroom suites, cabins with private balconies, duplex apartments and a presidential suite.
MV Fingal was acquired by the Royal Yacht Britannia Trust in 2014. The group also own ‘Britannia’ – the Queen’s former floating residence, which is now used as a visitor attraction and banqueting facility at the port of Leith.
The new “boatique” hotel is expected to open in Easter 2018.
