In 1793, when William Fraser proposed his scheme for what is now the Caledonian Canal, he countered naysayers by pointing out that ‘nature had finished more than half of it already’; and indeed it had, for just a third of its sixty majestic miles are man-made.
This voyage begins in the open sea, cruising from Inverness to Oban, a cruise in the shadow of Ben Nevis, through Neptune’s Staircase and the lochs of the Great Glen. Accompanied all the way by the Highlands’ hauntingly beautiful scenery, dotted with mystical castles and little lakeside villages, your elegant vessel has the ambience of an intimate stately home, where everything is completed in grand style, from its teak decks and polished wood panels to traditional furnishings, fine cuisine, and excellent service.
Lower Deck Cabins with double or twin beds have two portholes.
Middle Deck Cabins (doubles) and Upper Deck Cabins (double or twin beds) have a picture window.
On occasion, due to ferry movements the vessel cannot moor overnight at Tobermory, instead the vessel may moor in Oban after the visit to Tobermory.
For 29 September 2024 the cruise will sail from Inverness to Oban.
At just 150 feet, this elegant vessel can explore the region with ease.

"I did not expect to be transported to a different world, especially staying in the UK, but cruising along the Caledonian Canal allows you to experience the magic that Scotland has to offer."
