Visit alluring islands, enchanting castles and attractive port towns on board small ship Lord of the Glens

See Scotland's beautiful scenery on this incredible luxury break. Sail on a comfortable yacht through the Highlands and Islands, including a trip along the beautiful Caledonian Canal, and see hidden sea lochs and the attractive isles of Scotland's western shore.

Loch Ness, Mull, Oban and Iona... all are destinations that evoke myths and legends. You'll glide along glistening waters, taking in the magical landscapes and majestic castles, and admire native flora and fauna.

The perfect way to explore this part of the world is aboard the Lord of the Glens. This is not a cruise, but a small ship experience, similar to the Royal Yacht Britannia. There are just 26 outward-facing ensuite cabins and the yacht carries a maximum of 54 passengers.
