Cruise Description |
PONANT invites you on a 8-day cruise aboard Le Boréal for an extraordinary journey featuring the archaeological sites and sumptuous scenery of northern Scotland, on the edge of the Highlands, in the heart of the dreamlike and mysterious Hebrides archipelago.
From Glasgow, the capital of Scotland boasting a convivial atmosphere and authentic charm, your ship will sail to the Hebrides archipelago. Located to the west of Scotland, it has around 150 islands and will reveal its diversity to you. You will make a stop on Iona, the birthplace of Christianity in Scotland, home to an impressive abbey, and probably where the Book of Kells was produced.
Then, you will reach the volcanic territory of Lunga, in the Treshnish Isles. The small island is a protected area for seabirds and home to colonies of puffins and guillemots among others.
You will continue to the Outer Hebrides and you will discover Callanish on the Isle of Lewis. This all-new port of call will take you back in time to between 2900 and 2600 BC, the period during which the island’s megalithic site would have been created… Before the circle of standing stones, aligned with the cardinal points, the mystery remains entire, the emotion is palpable.
You will reach Shiant Islands and its huge sandstone cliffs, where many colonies of seabirds come to nest. You will then sail towards Loch Ewe, located in the northwest of the Highlands. Nestled at the end of this sea loch, you will discover the remarkable Inverewe Gardens, both a botanical curiosity and a subtropical paradise.
Your ship will then cruise towards Ullapool on the shore of Loch Broom in the western Highlands. This former herring fishing port boasts a picturesque atmosphere made up of white cottages and colourful fishermen's boats.
You will call at Portree, the largest town on the Isle of Skye, located on the edge of a loch that extends inland.
The last stage of your journey will take you to Tobermory, a charming fishing port with multicoloured houses and with a distillery that produces a renowned single malt, before you arrive in Glasgow, your disembarkation port. |
