The Majestic Line

Cruise the west coast of Scotland: our cruising area is Argyll and the Islands of the Hebrides, one of the most unspoiled and beautiful natural environments in the world, rich in history, culture and wildlife. The Argyll coastline is larger than that of France, with many stunningly beautiful sea lochs piercing far inland, providing sheltered cruising waters with the spectacular senery on either side mirrored in the Lochs. The Hebrides is a unique visual landscape, made up of hundreds of large and small islands, creating a haven for wildlife - find out more on our page about Natural Scotland.

A Majestic Line cruise is the very antithesis of a rigidly planned tour.

Remote and idyllic, yet easy to reach. The remote areas that our cruises explore are best accessed from the sea and surprisingly easy to reach.
