Setting sail from Belfast, you will explore some of Scotland’s finest and least-discovered destinations. The brightly coloured houses of Tobermory in the Isle of Mull lend it a unique, almost surreal aura, whilst Stornoway in the Isle of Lewis is a place of strict Sunday observance and ancient traditions. We will then visit Scrabster, close to John O’ Groats, before sailing to Lerwick, capital of the distant Shetland Islands – the most far-flung part of the United Kingdom. You’ll then enjoy a day at sea before exploring Douglas, capital of the Isla of Man – a unique cultural experience that’s both distinctively British and distinctly different.
CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS
Stornoway
Discover the rugged beauty and rich Gaelic heritage of Stornoway. Explore historical attractions like the Lewis Chessmen, delve into the island's unique culture, and experience the warm hospitality of the Outer Hebrides.
Scrabster
Resting on Scotland's rugged northern coast, Scrabster exudes a rich maritime history and the mystery of the Highlands. Explore the rugged beauty of nearby Dunnet Head, savour fresh seafood at Scrabster Harbour, and witness stunning views of the Pentland Firth from Holburn Head Lighthouse.
Lerwick
Lerwick, nestled in the Shetland Isles, whispers tales of Vikings and Scottish history. Take leisurely walks through its winding streets, learn the history of lighthouse-keeping at Bressay Lighthouse, and breathe in the salty North Atlantic breezes atop the Knab promontory.
Douglas
Historic Douglas on the Isle of Man offers a relaxing experience for new and returning visitors alike. Stroll along the famous seaside promenade for views of cultural sites like the Tower of Refuge, an historic sanctuary for shipwrecked sailors.
