Experience a rewarding journey of remote British isle discovery. Off the coast of Scotland, sample life on the remote Isle of Lewis, as you explore its rugged landscapes and charming towns such as Stornoway. Feel the history of the Orkneys’ UNESCO-listed village of Skara Brae, home to Neolithic structures that pre-date Egypt’s pyramids, and fascinating Norse villages in the Shetlands. A visit to Lerwick provides an opportunity to seek out the Shetlands’ native wildlife too, including ponies and colonies of puffins, fulmars and other sea birds. There’s also a stop at Invergordon, gateway to the Highlands’ beautiful scenes, famous Loch Ness and landmarks such as Cawdor Castle.
Smaller ship Bolette also takes you to see some of the finest Scottish scenery, away from the well-sailed routes; behold the sight of Fingal’s Cave and Dutchman’s Cap, with their dramatic rock formations, revel in the unspoilt peace and beauty of Loch Hourn, and see the beautiful Small Isles. What’s more, a visit to Guernsey – a beautiful British island situated off the coast of France – affords an opportunity to uncover the historic monuments of St Peter Port, including an ancient fortress and a Napoleonic watchtower, while you’ll get to capture the beauty of the Isles of Scilly, their palm-lined beaches, charming towns and rugged landscapes.
