The romance of a cruise, the sense of adventure and the intimacy of a floating house party with fine dining is what makes a cruise from The Majestic Line around Scotland’s west coast and islands truly unique.
For the 2016 season, The Majestic Line is introducing a third vessel to its fleet, expanding the range of cruises and destinations. The MV Glen Etive will launch in April 2016 and will complement the two existing refurbished traditional fishing boats which have delighted passengers over the last ten years.
Currently under construction by Ardmaleish Boatbuilding Co. Ltd on the Clyde, with funding assistance from Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the bespoke MV Glen Etive has been designed in the style of a 1930’s gentleman’s motor yacht, and will feature high quality traditional marine finishes in natural wood and brass, along with a steel hull. Spacious and comfortable, with accommodation for twelve guests in seven en-suite cabins – two reserved for solo travellers at no additional supplement – the MV Glen Etive will add longer cruises and new destinations, including the breathtaking St Kilda world heritage site.
Six and ten night cruise itineraries are planned and whole boat private charters are also available. Cruise itineraries range from the Small Isles and Skye, visiting Eigg, Rum and Canna, to the Shiant Islands and the Isles of North and South Uist.
Small ship cruising is a mixture of relaxation and adventure, with exclusive access to some of Scotland’s most stunning island beaches and hideaway locations that are only accessible by smaller vessels. Service is discreet and very personal from the friendly crew of four, including an informal fine dining menu created daily by the on board chef using local produce and catering for personal preferences. Accommodation is cosy and comfortable in well-appointed cabins. The dining room and observation saloon offer panoramic views of the constantly changing scenery, and the sheltered deck is perfect for al fresco drinks and relaxing.
These are truly unique experiences, with seasonal rates starting from £1050 per person.
