One of our small ships Gemini Explorer

The Sounds of Mull and Linnhe Wildlife Cruise

This mini cruise is a wonderful introduction to the breath-taking Hebrides and Islands.

This Scottish cruise takes you along the sheltered Sound of Mull, famous for its wildlife and bordered by the Isle of Mull and the Morvern Peninsula, and along historic Loch Linnhe. Our voyage will give you the full flavour of Scotland from the sea: its sheltered sea lochs, tranquil anchorages, picturesque harbours, ancient castles and even a whisky distillery.

We are pleased to offer to our passengers a complementary visit to Duart castle.
