Mobile ticket

Experience the dramatic landscapes of Scotland’s West Highlands in a small, semi-private group—ensuring a more personal and relaxed day ashore. Unlike larger cruise excursions, this carefully curated tour lets you explore at a comfortable pace with fewer people and more flexibility.

Begin with a peaceful visit to the lochside village of Luss, where flower-filled cottages and scenic views offer a picture-perfect introduction to Highland charm. Soak in sweeping vistas from the famous Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint before continuing to the historic town of Inveraray. Here you’ll have time to explore the town, enjoy lunch at your leisure, and—if open—visit the grand Inveraray Castle, home to the Duke of Argyll.

End the day with a scenic ferry ride across the River Clyde, included in your tour, before returning to port. With expert local insight and a welcoming, small-group atmosphere, this is a truly memorable alternative to the typical cruise line excursion.
