Description
If ever an archipelago was made for expedition cruising it is the islands off Scotland’s west coast that form stepping stones into the Atlantic. Here you will find magnificent scenery, fascinating history and enormous natural splendour. One of Europe’s true last remaining wilderness areas, it affords the traveller a marvellous island hopping journey through stunning scenery accompanied by breathtaking sunsets. During this nine night voyage aboard the 118 passenger MS Island Sky we will explore the spectacular beauty, rich wildlife and fascinating history of the Inner and Outer Hebrides and with our fleet of Zodiacs we will be able to visit some of the most remote islands including the Isle of Lewis, uninhabited St Kilda, and the small island community of Iona.
With our naturalists and local guides we will explore the length and breadth of the isles and witness vibrant colours, wonderful wildlife and learn of the history and ancient culture of unique island life. This is the perfect opportunity to see some of Scotland’s most beautiful places and we will be able to explore in small groups ashore ensuring a warm welcome and a cornucopia of stunning sights and sounds. There is no better way to explore this endlessly fascinating and beautiful region than by our small ship and whether your interest lies in wildlife, gardens, ancient history, or simply an appreciation of this unique corner of the kingdom, this unique voyage has something for everyone.
