Lord of the Highlands spreads her wings in 2024

In 2022, Scotland’s newest luxury cruise ship was launched. Lord of the Highlands transports just 38 guests in comfort and style through the Highland and Islands of Scotland and the intricate waters of the Caledonian Canal.

In 2024 Lord of the Highlands will spread her wings and delve further into the dramatic beauty of her home country of Scotland with a series of brand new itineraries to the untamed and remote Orkney Islands as well as the beauty of Scotland’s east coast.

Ruled by the Scandinavian crown until 1468, when the archipelago was ceded to Scotland under a marriage settlement, Orkney remains Nordic in culture. In the comfort of Lord of the Highlands, experience its magical prehistoric sites, extraordinary birdlife and incredible seascapes on a series of stunning summer cruise around the beautiful Orkney Isles.

From clan seats to royal residencies, Scotland has no shortage of stunning and romantic castles and palaces, and the east coast is home to many. Picturesquely situated and packed with history, they have endured prolific battles and many of those left standing were once home to royals or other significant figures. Join art enthusiast Julia Marwood to uncover some hidden Jewels of the East Coast.

Scotland has a rich maritime history and its sailors, engineers, designers and ships have helped to shape the modern world. Explore the seafaring heritage of the east coast on a voyage of discovery from the Highland capital of Inverness to Leith, Edinburgh’s deep-water port on the Firth of Forth.Guest speaker and maritime expert John Lippiett shares his vast knowledge of naval history on a voyage exploring Scotland’s Maritime Past.
