Cruise the Caledonian Canal in the company of Carol Kirkwood

Join special Guest Speaker, Scottish weather presenter Carol Kirkwood as we sail over the sea to the remote and beautiful Inner Hebrides, along scenic sea lochs and through the intricate waters of the Caledonian Canal, on board Hebridean Island Cruises‘ truly unique Lord of the Glens.

This panoramic voyage which cuts through the heart of Scotland via Neptune’s Staircase to Inverness, includes enthralling excursions to historic castles, the sacred Isle of Iona and the infamous battlefield at Culloden. Sail along the remarkable, 60 mile long Caledonian Canal, which connects four of Scotland’s famous lochs; Loch Dochfour, Loch Ness, Loch Oich, and Loch Lochy.

Lord of the Glens is the perfect way to explore Scotland’s Highlands and coastal islands in a relaxed atmosphere. Her classical appeal embraces a timeless style with polished wood and teak decks, offering delicious cuisine and personal service.

Newly refurbished for the 2025 season, Lord of the Glens has 25 comfortably appointed cabins, all boasting hardwood finishes, en-suite facilities and views of the passing landscapes. Meals are freshly prepared on board by a loyal brigade of chefs, drawing on a bounty of locally sourced produce, whilst the Sir Walter Scott lounge and bar, on the upper deck, provide for magnificent all-around panoramic views of the Highland scenery.

Carol will accompany our Inland Waterways and Idyllic Isles cruise from Kyle of Lochalsh to Inverness on 29th September 2025 for seven nights. Cruise fares start from £3,190 per person and include all meals, shore visits as outlined in the itinerary plus transfers from/to Inverness as pre-determined times. Available on this departure only, a FREE drinks package which covers beers, wines and soft drinks with lunch and dinner daily throughout the cruise.
