Sailing around the Islands of the UK

From the Orkney Islands to the Shetland Islands, from Stornoway, to the Isles of Scilly. On this cruise we’re never far from a superb coastline which offers exceptional walking close to sandy beaches, steep cliffs and hilly terrain. Cruising around the coast is the ideal way to experience this diversity as we explore the otherwise remote parts, islands, creeks and little visited places which make our islands amongst the most varied in the world.

We are never far from the coast, yet few are familiar with more than summer holiday beaches. Roam around the British Isles with us and the differences becomes apparent. These remote outposts are both beautiful and often not straightforward to reach – a cruise makes their wild charms easily accessible. We start with a bustling eight days of stops from St Peters Port, Guernsey to Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands. Along the way we call into St Marys on the Isles of Scilly, Belfast in Northern Ireland, Stornoway on Lewis and Lerwick on the Shetland Isles. After Kirkwall we head to Invergordon in Scotland, where our final stop take us to the iconic Dunrobin Castle.

The BBC series ‘Coast ‘has undoubtedly opened our eyes to the wonders of our own coastline, which now you can explore with ease. Our walking will take you off the typical cruise excursion track and onto the paths you want to be walking to truly get to know these fantastic destinations.
