CLYDE COAST SAMPLER

Greenock to Greenock

Friday 1st March to Tuesday 5th March 2024

4 nights including 1 Gala Dinner

As the last days of winter slowly turn to spring at the start of the 2024 season, join us to sail the beautiful Clyde Coast. En route, visit stately mansions, an island distillery and other gems of this magical region from the warm comfort of the delightfully small Hebridean Princess

Ashore on Arran, a tour of the new distillery at Lagg will add more understanding to your appreciation of peated malt. Here, they are working to bring a contemporary style to traditional methods of producing peated whisky.

Experience the peaceful seclusion of Holy Isle, where St Molaise sought refuge as a hermit and now a Buddhist retreat, before enjoying the Palladian style of Ardgowan House, a Georgian gem designed by George Cairncross who was assistant to Robert Adam at Culzean.

Head to Great Cumbrae where we visit Millport and find the Cathedral of the Isles which seats only 100 worshippers. Contrast the Victorian Neo-Gothic mansion of Mount Stuart House, extravagantly built by the 3rd Marquess of Bute and never fully completed.

Our finale is a relaxing sail of tranquil Loch Long and Loch Goil, sketched by renowned artist JMW Turner in 1831, a picturesque conclusion to our voyage.
