Cruise Overview

British Isles cruise – The Scottish Isles – Highlights of the Hebrides

Discover highlights of the Hebrides and Scottish Highlands, including Fort William in the shadow of Ben Nevis, on this expedition cruise from Glasgow (Greenock). 

Experience rugged landscapes,  remote beaches and historic towns in the Inner and Outer Hebrides, and marvel at spectacular Highland scenery on the mainland. 

Seek out Atlantic seabirds and marine life as we explore the Sound of Mull, Vatersay in the Outer Hebrides, Islay and more.  

Heather, history and highland scenery 

From Glasgow (Greenock) you’ll voyage to the wild and remote Hebridean Islands and discover rugged landscapes draped in heather, white sand beaches and picturesque historic towns. Heading towards Fort William, you’ll be immersed in awesome Highland scenery featuring soaring mountains and glacier-carved valleys. 

Ancient sites, undisturbed wildlife and unique whiskies 

From Arran to Mull and Islay, you’ll visit ancient castles and standing stones and taste Scotland's cultural notes with whisky. On your journey, you’ll encounter birdlife like puffins and eagles, and as you gaze over the sea, look out for the dolphins and basking sharks that thrive in these cool waters.
