Your cruise in detail
This seven night voyage, through the very heart of the Scottish Highlands, introduces the interested traveller to the intricate and endlessly fascinating inland waters of the Caledonian Canal, the glistening waters of Loch Linnhe, the Sound of Mull, the Sound of Sleat and finally, Kyle Rhea.
Discover Culloden, the infamous battlefield where Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite forces were defeated in 1746, and observe the ancient burial ground of Clava Cairn, before setting sail on the Caledonian Canal, built between 1803 and 1822 to connect the Great Glen’s four lochs. Entering Loch Ness, you pass the romantic ruins of Urquhart Castle, before arriving at the scenic and historic village of Fort Augustus. Continue along the canal through Loch Oich and Loch Lochy, before descending Neptune’s Staircase, a set of eight interconnected locks dropping 19 metres into the sea lock at Corpach. Visit the iconic monument honouring the fallen Jacobite clansmen at Glenfinnan, framed by spectacular Highland scenery. Sail Loch Linnhe to Oban for a walking tour which takes in the panoramic vistas from McCaig’s Tower. From Craignure on Mull travel to the sacred isle of Iona to relish the tranquility of the restored Benedictine abbey which stands on the site of the monastery founded by St Columba. Later, explore the island capital of Tobermory where brightly painted houses line the waterfront and trace the legacy of Clan Donald at the Museum of The Isles housed in the grounds of Armadale Castle. Your final port of call is the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet.
