Cruise Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Oban roundtrip aboard Hebridean Princess.
Nature & Wildlife interest cruise.
This brand new cruise exploring the natural world of the southern Hebrides, Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man is a must for nature lovers. These kingdoms, linked by their Gaelic roots, are home to all sorts of wonderful wildlife, not to mention stunning scenery as far as the eye can see.
At Loch Gruinart in spring, wading birds take centre stage The corncrake starts its distinctive calling in May and Loch Gruinart is one of the best areas to catch a glimpse of these secretive birds.
RSPB Rathlin West Light Seabird Centre offers unrivalled views of Northern Ireland's largest seabird colony and a chance to explore the unique 'upside down' lighthouse.
Wander through the wetlands of Castle Espie, nestled on the shores of Strangford Lough, where a huge variety of birds pattern the sky, shores and waters, or visit Mount Stewart, the 19th-century former home of the Marquess of Londonderry, where stunning neo-classical interiors meet one of the finest gardens in the world.
On the Isle of Man, the Scarlett Nature Discovery Centre offers outstanding coastal scenery, great spring flowers and plenty of birds to see. Explore the history of Castletown, the ancient capital of the Isle of Man, at the medieval Castle Rushen and former seat of the world's oldest continuous parliament, the Old House of Keys.
The sublime beauty of Oxford Island awaits - a designated National Nature Reserve situated on the southern shores of Lough Neagh. Alternatively, learn the story of the RMS Titanic at the very place where she was designed, built and launched.
Enjoy tranquil strolls at Tayvallich, ahead of our final chance to spot wildlife as we cruise the Slate Islands and Sound of Luing en route to Oban. |
