This cruise of contrasts is a voyage to remember. Discover the heritage of the Outer Isles of Barra and Lewis, the rugged and remote Sutherland coast, and the far-flung archipelago of St Kilda, a Double UNESCO World Heritage Site which was occupied by man for 5,000 years until 1930.

The most southerly of the inhabited Outer Isles, beautiful Vatersay, offers dramatic beaches, spectacular wildlife and a history dating from the Bronze Age. Few sights can compare with the bird cliffs of Boreray and Stac Lee emerging hazily from the horizon to the echoing cries of seabirds as you approach Hirta, the jewel in St Kilda`s crown. As the cleits and grazing Soay sheep come into view, go ashore to explore the abandoned village and imagine what life must have been like in this remote wilderness. Cruising past the mysterious Flannan Isles, we arrive in Stornoway to sense the mystery of the awe-inspiring Megalithic Callanish Standing Stones, older than the Egyptian pyramids, and the well preserved, 2,000 year old Carloway Broch. Inverewe Garden is a paradise of 2,500 exotic subtropical species overlooking Loch Ewe, the life`s work of Osgood MacKenzie.

From Ullapool, marvel at the deep Corrieshalloch Gorge and plunging Falls of Measach as they cascade through a wilderness rich in flora and fauna. Relax on board as you sail the spectacular coast of Wester Ross to Plockton where the artist`s garden at Attadale House affords views over to Skye. By scenic Loch Duich, the enchanting MacKenzie stronghold of Eilean Donan Castle is powerfully poised on an islet where three great sea lochs meet. Built in the mid-13th century to guard Kintail, the castle lay in ruins for 200 years and was restored by Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap. Reflect on your adventures as you sail Kyle Rhea and the Sound of Sleat, bound for Oban.
