Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Invergordon: Highland views and quiet streets. Visit castles, spot dolphins, or head for Loch Ness—a calm corner of Scotland.
- Lerwick (Shetland Islands): Stone quays and Viking traces. Visit the Shetland Museum, explore Clickimin Broch, or take a wildlife cruise. It feels remote yet connected.
- Kirkwall (Orkney Islands): Norse heritage meets island life. See St Magnus Cathedral, wander the harbour, or explore ancient sites nearby. The past feels close.
- Portree (Isle of Skye): Painted harbour and rugged hills. Visit the Old Man of Storr, browse local craft shops, or take a boat trip—the island rewards slow exploring.
- Stornoway (Isle of Lewis): Gaelic culture and open landscapes. See the Callanish Stones, visit Lews Castle, or walk the harbour. Tradition runs deep here.
