Cruise Description

This cruise to Scotland has been created to take you on a journey of discovery across scenic Scottish isles, showcasing the natural beauty and wildlife of this region of the UK. Join us on deck as Borealis diverts off the normal cruising route to sail along picturesque Loch Hourn, past the intriguing symmetrical basalt columns of Fingal’s Cave and bonnet-shaped Bac Mòr. You can immerse yourself in the way of life in the Scottish Isles by sampling local foods such as Orkney fudge, cheeses, oatcakes, and whisky, visiting a local crofter to discover how this form of farming sustains livelihoods, or discovering the importance of preserving the Gaelic language. Cruising past the Small Isles and along Pentland Firth offers you opportunities to spot seabirds and whales from Borealis with the help of wildlife charity ORCA. Visits to the unspoilt isles of Orkney, Lewis, and Skye open up the possibility of seeing ancient settlements and exploring awe-inspiring landscapes.
