Type of Cruise Speciality
Departure Date 18 Oct 2025
Cruise Description After exploring the delights of Mull and Iona, transit the tranquil inland waters of the Caledonian Canal, lured to the powerfully moving site of the final Jacobite rising at Culloden on the anniversary of the Battle of Culloden, 16th April 1746.

Steaming from Oban, your first port of call is Mull, where you can wander at will through the colour-washed shops around the harbour at Tobermory, and discover the traditional, award-winning Scottish farmhouse cheeses produced at the Isle of Mull cheese farm. Ashore on the sacred isle of Iona, take time to reflect on the influence of the religious colonists who landed here and established a seat of Christianity in 563, before cruising scenic Loch Linnhe to Corpach at the entrance to the Caledonian Canal. Visit the 18m-high monument at Glenfinnan, with the lone, kilted highlander at the top providing a poignant reminder of the clansmen who gave their lives to the Jacobite cause. Relax on board as you ascend the series of eight locks at Neptune’s Staircase to Banavie, an amazing feat of engineering which raises the canal by 19 metres over a quarter of a mile. At Spean Bridge discover the unforgettable Commando Memorial and the history of Clan Cameron from the 14th century to the present day, including their part in the 1745 Jacobite uprising. Finally, you visit the site of the last and most harrowing battle to be fought on British soil at Culloden where 1,500 men were slain in less than an hour, on the 279th anniversary of this bloody conflict.
