Lord of the Glens - Voyage Through the Heart of Scotland

Lord of the Glens - Voyage Through the Heart of Scotland

7 days from $4,120

Departing: October 2027 - October 2027

Cruise through the heart of Scotland aboard the Lord of the Glens, travelling from Oban to Inverness through a landscape of mountains, lochs and islands shaped by centuries of history. Sail the west coast to Mull and the peaceful Isle of Iona, explore colourful Tobermory and discover the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct before turning inland along the Caledonian Canal. As the ship navigates Loch Linnhe, Loch Lochy and Loch Oich, admire the changing scenery from the Sir Walter Scott bar and lounge, with the dramatic Highlands unfolding around you. One of the journey’s highlights is Neptune’s Staircase, Thomas Telford’s remarkable feat of engineering, while cruising Loch Ness offers the chance to keep watch for its most famous resident. With shore excursions bringing the landscape and heritage to life, this is a wonderfully unhurried way to experience Scotland.
