Discover the Scottish Highlands— with their mist–shrouded peaks, verdant glens and velvet moors— from the perspective of the Caledonian Canal aboard the stylish and cozy Lord of the Glens. Immerse yourself in breathtaking scenery as your expedition ship cruises the canal built in the early 1800s to connect the Great Glen’s four lochs and navigates passages inaccessible to larger boats. On this unforgettable voyage, step inside ancient sacred abbeys and legendary castles, experience warm and welcoming cities and glide alongside an untamable coastline.
Stride across the battlefield at Culloden, where Bonnie Prince Charlie was dramatically defeated in 1746, and discover Clava Cairns, a well–preserved Bronze Age cemetery. Take a train over the renowned viaduct to beautiful Glenfinnan. Search for marine animals and birdlife — including seals, whales, dolphins and seabirds — at Eigg, one of the Small Isles in the Inner Hebrides. Delight to Scottish dancers and whisky tastings, marvel at impressive nautical engineering and savor gorgeous views. This exclusive travel program takes you to destinations of wild beauty you’ll never forget.
