Uncover a wealth of history and culture on this luxury Scotland cruise, where cosmopolitan cities contrast with ancient historic sites and medieval castles.

Set sail from the canal city of Amsterdam and arrive in Edinburgh where an overnight stay allows plenty of time to discover the city's main attractions. Explore Dundee then head to Invergordon, an incredible destination that houses some of the world’s most famous whiskey distilleries. Secluded and seaswept, the Shetland Islands offer a unique blend of Scandinavian and Scottish culture whilst the Orkney Isles offer the historic sites of St. Magnus Cathedral and Neolithic village of Skara Brae.

In Stornoway, the gateway to the Outer Hebrides, you may wish to tour the grounds of historic Lews Castle and grab a pint (or two) in this picturesque port. In Oban you can explore the magnificent Inveraray Castle or just enjoy the colourful row houses and red-hulled fishing vessels that line the shores of this picturesque port. Conclude your journey in Glasgow, where history buffs will be wowed by Victorian architecture and Scotch aficionados can sample a wee dram of Highland Scotch during an optional tour of the famed Glenmorangie distillery.
