Price Guide:

AU$4K to AU$20K. Expedition to luxury.

When to Travel:

British Isles cruises typically operate from late spring to early autumn, roughly between May and September. This period offers favourable weather conditions for sailing and exploring the diverse destinations within the region In May you will experience mild weather and spring flowers, with temperatures warming up in July and August and long days.

Duration:

5 to 20 days depending on how many destinations you’d like to fit into your trip

When to book:

At least a year in advance for more popular itineraries, which tend to sell out

Pre-/Post- Cruise Options:

Oban is a popular starting and ending point for our cruises Many travellers spend a few days before or after their cruise exploring Scottish cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow

Other starting points include Inverness, Aberdeen, and Troon, often with a hotel night in Edinburgh or other cities before traveling to the embarkation point.

Some itineraries journey from Scotland to other parts of the UK or even to Iceland, while others focus on exploring smaller regions of the British Isles

Other handy tips?

The British Isles include a variety of islands, and each area offers different sights, history and experiences It is a good idea to choose a voyage depending on the area of interest.

BRITISH ISLES

Small ship cruising through the British Isles offers an intimate exploration of diverse landscapes and rich history

Sail close to the rugged cliffs of Scotland, visit ancient castles, and dock in charming coastal villages. Discover Ireland’s lush greenery and folklore, and explore the remote isles like Orkney and Shetland The small ship navigates narrow channels, allowing access to lesser-known ports and secluded bays. Experience local culture with onboard lectures and cuisine, from Scottish whisky to Irish seafood The relaxed atmosphere and fewer passengers foster a deeper connection with the unique heritage and natural beauty of the British Isles

Price Guide:

AU$5K to AU$20K Expedition to luxury

When to Travel:

Cruises are available all year round; however, your experience will differ depending on the season Summer: the most popular time to travel when the weather is milder, and the daylight hours are at their longest; Autumn: provides excellent photo opportunities and wildlife sightings amongst the fall landscape; Winter: view stunning snow-covered landscapes, opportunities to witness the Northern Lights; Spring: the coastline awakens with blooming flowers, flowing waterfalls, and active wildlife as temperatures rise and daylight increases

Duration:

5 to 20 days from a short few days coastal voyage to a longer itinerary that includes a land component Coastal voyages will generally have the same itinerary in reverse depending on the direction of the trip.

When to book:
