Enjoy a wonderful Bank Holiday break as you, with Borealis as your guide, experience a snapshot of Scotland’s splendid summertime beauty. Your short, but invigorating discovery of enchanting waterways and remote islands includes hours of memorable scenic cruising, time to relax on board your smaller ship and revel in Scottish scenery. See the 13th century Duart Castle, against the backdrop of the Sound of Mull’s rolling landscapes; take in the wild scenes of Loch Hourn and the Small Isles; marvel at the intriguing Dutchman’s Cap; and hear the echo of Atlantic Ocean waves crashing against Fingal’s Cave’s remarkable basalt columns.
In between these unforgettable scenic cruising experiences, you visit two charming, remote destinations on consecutive days too, for opportunities to step ashore and uncover many more of Scotland’s greatest and most famous historic sites and scenic delights. Both at Orkney and on the Isle of Skye, a number of centuries-old highlights await; a stop at Kirkwall will allow you time to take in Neolithic treasures, such as the UNESCO-listed village of Skara Brae, while Portree is your gateway to the impressive castles of Dunvegan and Eilean Donan. For an up-close look at Scotland’s rugged natural beauty at its most dramatic, perhaps tour to Trotternish Ridge and see imposing rock formations such as the Old Man of Storr.

As one of the larger ships in the Fred Olsen fleet, Borealis provides the best of both worlds. With fewer than 1,400 guests, you can enjoy the chance to mingle with fellow travellers while enjoying a more traditional cruising style, with spacious public areas and none of the crowding experienced on larger cruises.
Choose from one of the convenient UK ports and embark on a spellbinding journey throughout the UK, Europe, the Americas or Asia. With a wide variety of destinations to choose from, Borealis cruises offer something to suit all tastes. Explore the glamour-laden French Riviera, discover the natural beauty of Norway, or set off on an epic World Cruise exploring several continents over many months.
