NOW BOOKING

Join us on Fred Olsen's newest ship, Borealis, for a 7 day cruise around the scenic Scottish Isles and only unpack once!

Sailing from Newcastle, we will visit the islands of Kirkwall in the Orkneys, Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides and Skye in the Inner Hebrides; there will be shore excursions at each of these places.

We will also take advantage of Borealis' smaller size to sail around the smaller Hebridean islands including a great view of the famous Fingals Cave on Staffa.
