Třída Britannia bylo označení kolesových parníků společnosti Cunard Line budovaných od roku 1840, které sloužily na poštovní lince společnosti Liverpool-Halifax. V roce 1845 převezly polovinu všech cestujících přes Atlantik v salónové třídě a v tomto směru jednoznačně dominovaly. Ačkoli to nebyly nejlepší transatlantické parníky, jejich hlavní výhodou bylo, že zajišťovaly pravidelné odjezdy mezi těmito destinacemi. rdf:langString
The Britannia class was the Cunard Line's initial fleet of wooden paddlers that established the first year round scheduled Atlantic steamship service in 1840. By 1845, steamships carried half of the transatlantic saloon passengers and Cunard dominated this trade. While the units of the Britannia class were solid performers, they were not superior to many of the other steamers being placed on the Atlantic at that time. What made the Britannia class successful is that it was the first homogeneous class of transatlantic steamships to provide a frequent and uniform service. Britannia, Acadia and Caledonia entered service in 1840 and Columbia in 1841 enabling Cunard to provide the dependable schedule of sailings required under his mail contracts with the Admiralty.

La classe Britannia est une classe de paquebot transatlantique, la première flotte de paquebots de la Cunard Line. Mise en service en 1840 pour assurer la liaison transatlantique entre Liverpool et Boston via Halifax, elle se compose au départ des trois premiers paquebots (le Britannia, l’Acadia, le Caledonia) commandés par Samuel Cunard à l'ingénieur écossais Charles Napier qui les fait construire sur les chantiers navals de la Clyde en Écosse. Afin d'assurer un service bihebdomadaire, un quatrième paquebot, le Columbia est commandé en 1841 pour compléter la série.

A classe Britannia foi a frota inicial de Barcos a vapor com rodas de pás da Cunard Line, que estabeleceu o primeiro serviço programado de linhas transatlânticas regulares no Atlântico durante todo o ano em 1840. Em 1845, os navios a vapor transportavam metade dos passageiros das travessias transatlânticas e a Cunard dominava esse comércio. Embora as unidades da classe Britannia tivessem um desempenho sólido, não eram superiores a muitos dos outros navios a vapor em serviço no Atlântico naquela época. O que tornou a classe Britannia um sucesso é que ela foi a primeira classe homogênea de navios a vapor transatlânticos a fornecer um serviço frequente e uniforme. Britannia, Acadia e Caledonia entraram em serviço em 1840 e Columbia em 1841, permitindo que Cunard fornecesse o cronograma confiá rdf:langString

Britannia, Acadia and Caledonia entered service in 1840 and Columbia in 1841 enabling Cunard to provide the dependable schedule of sailings required under his mail contracts with the Admiralty. It was these mail contracts that enabled Cunard to survive when all of his early competitors failed. Cunard's ships were reduced versions of Great Western and only carried 115 passengers in conditions that Charles Dickens unfavourably likened to a "gigantic hearse". Mean 1840 – 1841 Liverpool - Halifax times for the quartette were 13 days, 6 hours (7.9 knots, 14.6 km/h, 9.1 mph) westbound and 11 days, 3 hours (9.3 kn, 17.2 km/h, 10.7 mph) eastbound. The initial four units were insufficient to meet the contracted sailings, and an enhanced unit, the Hibernia entered service in 1843. When Columbia was wrecked in 1843 without loss of life, Cambria was ordered to replace her. In 1849 and 1850, the surviving original units along with Hibernia were sold to foreign navies after completing forty round trips for Cunard. Cambria remained in the Cunard fleet for another decade.

Après la perte du Columbia échoué en 1843 au large de l'île au Phoque (Nouvelle-Écosse, Canada) et afin de continuer à rivaliser avec ses concurrentes, la Cunard Line décide la construction de deux navires supplémentaires (la sous-classe Hibernia) : l’Hibernia et le Cambria.

Foram esses contratos por correspondência que permitiram a Cunard sobreviver enquanto todos os seus concorrentes faliram.
