The Royal Scottish Shipping Line - Argyll Cruises

Cruise along in splendid luxury taking in the majestic views of Argyll and her Isles, including the Outer Hebrides. Bathe in the splendid beauty of Scotland’s wildlife, Europe's last great frontier. A cruise with The Royal Scottish Shipping line brings you adventure, though a calmness is always apparent given the tranquil locations we visit and the stillness of the waters as we glide through at a much slower pace. 

Your cruise will take place on our luxury superyacht, The Spirit of Fortitude, which is very unique in the West Coast of Scotland at 130f with 6 full size cabins (the largest available in the area), which allow you to dine in private if you so wish. The size and quality of finish of this superyacht gives it a comfortable feeling but allows you to have time on your own as there are so many areas to escape to during the cruise.

As we cruise to stunning locations like Skye and Barra, you can relax in our newly finished Whisky viewing room, or read in the library. Our large saloon area allows you to mix with your fellow cruise guests. We also have a swim deck, back dining deck and a top sun deck fully railed with built in sun beds and tables, for when you want to lie back and forget about the world.  

Our cruises span from three to fourteen nights and from our journey to Mull and Iona on a mini cruise - right through to the UNESCO World heritage site of St Kilda - truly a cruise that you can never forget.

All of our cruises are all inclusive and we pride ourself on the level of service we provide. Our cruise staff are extensively trained to offer the highest levels of service at all times.

Cruise around the best coast in the world in comfort and luxury! Escape to the edge of the world and feel safe on The Spirit of Fortitude while we take care of everything.
