Island hop in the UNTOUCHED HEBRIDES

Discover the best of Scotland’s islands, including the ‘Whisky Island’ of Islay and the famous Isle of Mull

From deserted beaches to dramatic lochs and lofty mountains, the wild beauty of the Inner and Outer Hebrides makes for an unforgettable experience. On this spectacular 11-day cruise of the Scottish islands, you will get to take in the fantastic scenery as you hop from isle to isle.

You will stroll along the rugged coastline and see various birds and wildlife, as well as get a taste of what it is like to live on the Atlantic Ocean archipelago while on visits to whisky distilleries and tweed-weavers.

Beginning your journey in Glasgow, you will board the comfortable, modern and environmentally progressive MS Spitsbergen, which will take you to the Isle of Mull. Here, you will visit its capital, Tobermory, where brightly painted houses ring the bay. You will also see Arran, a haven for wildlife; the ‘Whisky Island’ (Islay); Iona, with its ancient religious connections; and Eigg, with its Iron Age forts. On Hirta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you will have the chance to see minke whales swimming nearby.
