Explore Scotland on a luxury yacht-style ship this summer
If you were going to compile a bucket list of British breaks, a boutique cruise to Scotland's Highlands and islands is surely a contender.
Thanks to one incredible escape, you can tick the experience off your list this summer as you sail around Scotland on luxurious yacht-style ship, Lord of the Glens.
You'll explore the endlessly beautiful Caledonian Canal, hidden sea lochs and the magical islands of Scotland’s western shore.
Loch Ness, Loch Nevis, the Sound of Mull, Iona, Eigg, Skye, Fort Augustus, Fort William... the names conjure up images of glistening waters, wild landscapes and towering castles, of majestic flora and fauna, and of myths and legends.
Offering a private yacht experience similar to the Royal Yacht Britannia, the Lord of the Glens is a unique vessel with just 27 outward-facing en suite cabins, which carries a maximum of 54 guests. If you're a fan of the Belmond British Pullman, we think you'll like this elegant ship.
The yacht-style vessel offers sumptuous accommodation and superb cuisine. There are also fascinating excursions on a choice of two amazing itineraries this summer.
