It is set in outstandingly beautiful surroundings, so visitors can combine a buzzing city visit with an introduction to the glories of the Scottish scenery
Our tip
Visitors could easily miss the picturesque cobbled street of Ashton Lane in the city’s West End, decorated with fairy lights and home to the famous Ubiquitous Chip restaurant.
6 November
United Kingdom: Holy Loch
The Holy Loch is a sea loch on the Firth of Clyde, where St Munn is said to have founded a church after leaving Ireland in the 6th century. The loch was used as a Royal Navy submarine base during World War II, and it was also a base for US nuclear subs during the Cold War.
6 November
United Kingdom: Loch Striven
Loch Striven is a sea loch that lies just to the north of the Isle of Bute, and was used during World War II to train midget submarine crews due to its similarity to the Norwegian Fjords. The loch was also used to test the ‘Highball’, a smaller, anti-ship version of the bouncing bombs dropped by the Dambusters.
7 November
United Kingdom: Rothesay
The peaceful isle of Bute boasts surprisingly varied landscapes for an island of its diminutive size, from rugged moors and fertile hills to sandy beaches. Highlights include the beautiful gardens of Mount Stuart House and the imposing castle at Rothesay.
7 November
United Kingdom: Great Cumbrae
The hilly little island of Great Cumbrae is home to a single town, Millport, where you’ll find Britain’s smallest cathedral. Seating just 100 worshippers, the Cathedral of the Isles contains an interesting collection of Celtic crosses. Outside of Millport, the lovely coastline is best explored on foot or by bike.
8 November
United Kingdom: Brodick
Brodick is the main village on the Isle of Arran, a bustling port that sits on a bay opposite the towering Goatfell mountain. Highlights include the impressive 16th century Brodick Castle, and it’s only a short drive to Lochranza on the north coast, home to an even older castle and the Arran Distillery.
8 November
United Kingdom: Holy Isle
Just two miles long by one mile wide, the Holy Isle has a spiritual significance that dates back to at least the 6th century. The island was originally known as Inis Shroin, the ‘Island of the Water Spirit’, and is home to a spring said to have healing powers.
9 November
United Kingdom: Campbeltown
Campbeltown was once known as the ‘whisky capital of the world’, and was home to 34 distilleries at its peak. Although just three distilleries remain, this is still a great place to learn about the process of making whisky, and it’s also a base for exploring the beautiful Kintyre peninsula.
9-10 November
United Kingdom: Ailsa Craig, Loch Long
10 November
United Kingdom: Rhu Marina
Rhu Marina is situated on the shores of Gareloch towards the northern end of the Firth of Clyde, and provides a picturesque mooring for yachts and tourist boats. Nearby attractions include the handsome holiday resort of Helensburgh and beautiful Loch Lomond.

Arriving in Greenock (Glasgow)
Don't miss
In Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens, themselves ideal for a peaceful walk, don’t miss the Kibble Palace, a striking greenhouse with fine marble statues, vivid flowers and tropical palms.
Your home from home
We know of no ship quite like this one; a tiny little gem, dedicated to Scotland and all things Scottish, this Princess is fit for a queen!
What we love
A single ship with just 48 guests and in operation for only nine months of the year - hardly viable in the modern day, you would think - and when you step aboard you will also feel as if you have been swept into a bygone age, when kindness was key. A one word descriptor? Charm, perhaps. But that only begins to cover what is special about Princess.
