Cruise Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Oban roundtrip onboard Hebridean Princess.
Food & Drink Interest cruise.
Scotland is rightly proud of its reputation for its wonderful natural larder and those who produce mouth-watering creations. Join Hebridean Princess, on this gastronomic voyage, as you explore the wonderful culinary offerings of the Highlands and Islands.
After a scenic sail of the Sound of Jura, go ashore on the whisky isle of Islay to explore the rich heritage and unique flavours of Laphroaig at the distillery which has been producing distinctive, peaty malts since 1815. On Colonsay, meet the man who supplies Hebridean Princess with oysters and learn about his other passion - honey and the native black bees he keeps. Cruise the Small Isles ahead of a visit to the most remote pub on the British mainland, The Old Forge at Inverie. At Armadale on the Isle of Skye learn of Clan Donald history and heritage at the Museum of the Isles and sample highland hospitality with lunch at Kinloch Lodge. Steaming into Loch Dunvegan, visit the oldest continually inhabited castle in Scotland, Dunvegan Castle, and savour lunch at the world renowned Three Chimneys Restaurant. Enjoy a tour and tasting of local malt whisky at
Ardnamurchan Distillery, Scotland's greenest distillery, before visiting Isle of Mull Cheese, the only dairy farm on the island, to learn how the local cheeses are made by hand. The Isle of Eriska Hotel sits on a private island and offers a warm welcome and gourmet lunch. Your culinary adventure concludes with a Champagne reception at Duart Castle, hosted by Sir Lachlan Maclean, Chieftain of Clan Maclean.
