Cruise Description |
Sheltered by the crescent arc of the Western Isles and blessed with a mild climate, the Inner Hebrides abound in natural and historic treasures against stunning seascapes. Cruise the west coast to this secluded Scottish paradise of remote islands, dramatic landscapes and historic castles.
From the bustling port of Tobermory, visit Sgriob-ruadh dairy farm and distillery which produces the award- winning Isle of Mull Cheese using traditional methods. Onwards to Inverie where a ranger leads a guided walk around Knoydart, full of local history and heritage. Situated on the shore of Loch Gairloch amongst the awe-inspiring scenery of Wester Ross, visit the sub- tropical oasis of Inverewe Garden. Creative Connections at Gariloch brings together local artists and producers; Meet-the-Makers gives you the opportunity to sample their wares and enjoy demonstrations of arts and crafts. On Skye, tour the lunar like, spectacular landscapes of the Trotternish peninsula and taste the lightly peated signature Scotch whisky at the Isle of Raasay disitillery, the first legal spirit distilled on the island. Picturesque Plockton is the perfect location for tranquil strolls around the sheltered bay overlooking Loch Carron. The community owned Isle of Eigg plays host to your visit; shaped from dramatic beginnings, Eigg is home to a huge diversity of fauna and flora. Cruise around Ardnamurchan and the Sound of Mull and travel back centuries at ancient Duart Castle, ancestral seat of Clan Maclean, enjoying unsurpassed views from its rocky promontory. Your final afternoon is spent exploring Oban, the ‘Gateway to the Isles.’
