Book with Cruise Traveller by August 31, 2026, and save 15 per cent
The 2027 season in the Scottish Isles for the epitome of ‘slow travel’ – the elegant and boutique vessel, Lord of the Highlands – has just been released and to celebrate, Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, is offering a 15 per cent saving for bookings made by August 31, 2026.
Purpose-designed to explore the pristine and intricate waterways of the Scottish Highlands, including the historic Caledonian Canal, the stylish, 38-guest Lord of the Highlands offers all-inclusive cruises through the wild and far-flung isles, lochs, canals and highlands of the Scottish Highlands, with its haunting coastlines, dramatic castles and quaint, storybook hamlets.
Echoing a cosy country house with an ambience of understated elegance, sumptuous cuisine, refined, personal service and shared conviviality, Lord of the Highlands is operated by Hebridean Island Cruises, represented exclusively in Australia by Cruise Traveller. Fares include onboard beverages and shore excursions, and all cabins boast water views of Scotland’s ruggedly spectacular coastline.
The new 2027 season for the beautifully small Lord of the Highlands offers 23 journeys of six or seven nights from April to October, 2027, through the majestic Scottish Highlands and the magnificent Hebridean Islands. A centrepiece of 21 of the journeys is a passage along the historic, 100km-long Caledonian Canal which connects Scotland’s east and west coasts and takes guests through the Scottish Highlands via 29 lochs and four lakes including Loch Ness, home to the mythical monster, ‘Nessie’.
Two identical, seven-night sailings departing May 3 and 31, 2027, are specially themed nature and wildlife journeys hosted by expert naturalists who, with the help of local rangers, will help guests spot and understand local flora and fauna including whales, dolphins, seals, deer and seabirds, as well as ancient forests, pristine waterfalls and sweeping heathlands.
The itinerary for both sailings begins in Inverness and features romantic villages like Foyers, Corpach. Inverie, and Craignure as well as the Caledonian Canal, Loch Ness and the Isle of Mull, ending at the fishing hamlet of Kyle of Lochalsh on the north-west coast of Scotland.
Including guided excursions and onboard beverages and gratuities, the seven-night cruise on May 3 and also May 31, 2027, is available from £4582 per person, twin-share, (approx. A$8627 pp) in a Deluxe Cabin with water views, including the 15 per cent saving if booked by August 31, 2026.
