route
itinerary
From Edinburgh or Glasgow to Scotland's wildest islands and seabird colonies
Day 1 | Edinburgh
Your trip begins in Edinburgh. Upon arrival, you will be met and taken to the Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh (or similar), where you will receive your luggage tags at the front desk and final instructions regarding boarding.
The rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish. Take this time for your first stroll through the Scottish capital.
Starting in 2028:
Your trip begins with your arrival in Glasgow or Aberdeen. You’ll be transferred to the ship that same day, so you can start your expedition right away. The total duration of the trip is reduced by one day.
Day 2 | Boarding in Troon
In the morning, you’ll take a walking tour of Edinburgh with a local guide. The tour follows the Royal Mile with its five cobblestone alleys, starting at the Palace of Holyroodhouse—the British monarch’s official residence in Scotland—and passing Canongate Church and the Scottish Parliament. Perched high above the city on an extinct volcano is Edinburgh Castle (admission to the castle is not guaranteed).
In the early afternoon, a two-hour transfer will take you to the west coast and the port of Troon, where you will board your expedition ship. After the safety briefings, the ship will set sail in the evening and head for Scotland’s northwest coast.
Days 3–4 | Inner Hebrides
You’ll spend two days in the Inner Hebrides archipelago with its golden beaches, rugged peaks, moors, and heather-covered hills. From the ship and via Zodiac, you’ll keep an eye out for whales, dolphins, otters, seals, and the now-rare basking sharks. Red deer and white-tailed eagles inhabit an island nature reserve. Kayakers receive their briefing and paddle through the narrow waterways between the islands.
On the tiny island of Iona, barely five kilometers long, the Irish monk St. Columba founded a monastery in 563. To this day, Iona is considered the birthplace of Christianity in Britain and the burial site of early Scottish kings. On the uninhabited island of Staffa, you’ll take a Zodiac boat into Fingal’s Cave—whose resonant basalt columns inspired Mendelssohn to compose his Hebrides Overture—and observe numerous puffins on shore.
Other planned stops include the Isle of Eigg, south of Skye, with its wildflower meadows, and the Cuillin Hills, Britain’s wildest mountains. At Loch Scavaig, you’ll hike into the heart of this mountainous landscape, while kayakers paddle all the way to Loch Coruisk and the island of Soay, with its abandoned shark-hunting station.
Days 5–7 | Outer Hebrides and Orkney
The Outer Hebrides, also known as the Western Isles, stretch over more than 200 kilometers and face west toward the open Atlantic Ocean. On the Isle of Lewis, the largest and northernmost island, stand the Standing Stones of Callanais, a stone circle dating from around 3,000 B.C. Weather permitting, you’ll land on the remote World Heritage archipelago of St. Kilda, whose ruined crofts bear witness to the harsh lives of its former inhabitants. The islands are home to Europe’s most important seabird colony and Britain’s highest sea stacks.
In the Orkney archipelago, with its 70 islands, you’ll trace history from 5,000-year-old Neolithic World Heritage sites to Viking relics and traces of World War II. At Knap of Howar on Papa Westray stands the oldest known house in Northern Europe, built over 5,000 years ago by Neolithic farmers. An evening of Scottish folk music awaits you at an island pub.
Days 8–10 | Shetland Islands
Britain’s northernmost islands lie about 160 kilometers off the Scottish mainland, at the same latitude as the southern tip of Greenland. They are kept mild by the Gulf Stream and bathed in light for nearly 24 hours a day in the summer. On Fair Isle, home to an important bird observatory, puffins, northern gannets, guillemots, and fulmars nest on the cliffs. With a little luck, you may spot gray seals, porpoises, white-beaked dolphins, orcas, and minke whales in the surrounding waters.
From Lerwick, visit Jarlshof, one of Scotland’s best-preserved archaeological sites, which was uncovered by a storm in the 19th century. It has been inhabited since 3,200 B.C.; around 800 B.C., an axe head and short swords were cast here in a bronze foundry. The Noss Nature Reserve impresses with miles of cliffs where around 150,000 seabirds nest during the breeding season. On the uninhabited island of Mousa stands the Mousa Broch, the best-preserved of Scotland’s 570 Iron Age defensive towers, with storm petrels nesting in its masonry.
Day 11 | Kirkwall
In Kirkwall, the capital of the Orkney Islands, you can stroll through the narrow alleys of the old town, which have remained virtually unchanged for centuries. To the west of the city lies West Mainland, with its farmland, hills, and dramatic Atlantic cliffs.
Choose your shore excursion here: The Orkney Treasures tour takes you to the Standing Stones of Stenness, the Ring of Brodgar, and the 5,000-year-old Neolithic village of Skara Brae—which was uncovered by a storm from the dunes about 150 years ago—as well as Skaill House. Alternatively, on the “Heart of Neolithic Orkney” tour, you’ll visit the Ring of Brodgar, the Standing Stones of Stenness—Europe’s oldest known stone circle—the village of Barnhouse, and St. Magnus Cathedral.
Day 12 | Disembarkation in Aberdeen or Troon
Early in the morning, depending on the itinerary, your expedition ship will arrive at the port of Aberdeen or Troon. After breakfast, you’ll say goodbye to your fellow travelers and be taken to the airport, where you’ll begin your journey home.
Please don't book your return flight until after 12:00 p.m. to allow for possible delays.
The daily programs described here are for your guidance. The itinerary may vary considerably due to local ice and weather conditions, last-minute permit procedures, and local authorities, but also to respond to current conditions regarding wildlife viewing.Theexpedition leader on board will determine the final itinerary and daily program. Flexibility is of utmost importance during our expedition-style voyages.
activities
Seabirds and marine animals (inclusive)
Scotland’s islands are among the most spectacular seabird regions in Europe. On the cliffs of Fair Isle, Noss, and St. Kilda, puffins, northern gannets, guillemots, and fulmars nest. From the ship and via Zodiac, you’ll keep an eye out for gray seals, porpoises, dolphins, orcas, and minke whales, as well as golden eagles and white-tailed eagles soaring over the Hebrides.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Neolithic Sites (included)
Orkney is home to one of the densest concentrations of prehistoric archaeological sites in Europe. You’ll visit the 5,000-year-old Stone Age village of Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, and the Standing Stones of Stenness. Also on the itinerary are the St. Kilda World Heritage Site and the Standing Stones of Callanais on the Isle of Lewis.
Sacred Sites and Island Stories (included)
On the tiny island of Iona, the monk St. Columba founded a monastery in 563, making it the birthplace of Christianity in Britain. The restored abbey is one of Scotland’s oldest and holiest pilgrimage sites. On Shetland, Jarlshof tells the story of 4,000 years of settlement, right up to the Vikings.
Active Adventures: Hiking and Zodiac (included)
Those who want to stay active can hike along cliff trails to the peaks of the Cuillin Hills or take a Zodiac ride into Fingal’s Cave on Staffa and past rugged rock spires and caves. Experienced paddlers can explore secluded coves and lochs by sea kayak (for an additional fee).
Coastal Culture and Island Life (included)
Between port calls, you'll experience island life: the crofting communities of Orkney and Shetland, the traditional crafts of Fair Isle, and an evening of Scottish folk music at an island pub.
Kayaking (for an additional fee)
One of the most impressive ways to experience Scotland’s wild beauty is by kayak. As you paddle along the spectacular coastline, through sheltered coves, and among small islands, you’ll gain a unique perspective on this fascinating landscape and its diverse wildlife.
This kayaking program was developed by kayakers for kayakers. It offers you the opportunity to develop your skills, learn from our experienced guides, and paddle alongside a small group of like-minded people. Having a fixed group composition throughout the trip simplifies organizational processes and allows you to spend as much time as possible on the water.
Our experienced kayak guides are professional tour leaders with many years of international experience and a deep passion for kayaking. They know the waters inside and out and will show you the most beautiful stretches of coastline, hidden coves, and remote islands. Together with the guides, you can discuss your preferences for the tour—whether that means more time on the water, shore excursions to explore the landscape, or a combination of both. This way, you can tailor your kayaking experience exactly to your liking.
Paddle Excursion (for an additional fee)
The thrill of exploring Scotland’s wild and remote landscapes on an expedition becomes even more intense when you actively experience nature. In our sit-on-top kayaks, you’ll paddle safely along rugged coastlines, through sheltered coves, and between small islands—always with the chance to discover the impressive wildlife and spectacular scenery from a unique perspective.
This gentle yet intense activity is ideal for anyone with no prior experience who is looking for a hassle-free kayaking adventure. It brings you especially close to nature and offers you an unforgettable view of some of Scotland’s most beautiful and unspoiled landscapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Scotland?
Direct flights to Scotland are available from Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, and Berlin, with a flight time of about two hours. Our representative will meet you at Edinburgh Airport and accompany you to the group transfer to the hotel. For trips departing from Glasgow or Aberdeen, the transfer will first take you to the Embarkation Suite and then to the respective port of embarkation.
Upon request, we’d be happy to handle all your flight arrangements for you—including your preferred seat and pre-trip accommodation. For your return trip, you can choose between Aberdeen and Glasgow as your departure airport. Please do not book your return flight until 12:00 p.m. on the day of disembarkation.
Do I need a visa for the UK?
For German, Austrian, and Swiss nationals, a valid passport is sufficient. Since Brexit, an identity card is no longer sufficient for travel to the United Kingdom. In addition, as of January 8, 2025, an electronic travel authorization (UK ETA) is required for entry; this must be applied for online in advance (for a fee) and is valid for two years. You can find the latest information on the United Kingdom at the Federal Foreign Office. Different regulations may apply to other nationalities.
When is the best time to take an expedition cruise to Scotland?
The trip takes place in early summer, the best time to visit the Scottish islands. That’s when puffins, northern gannets, and guillemots are nesting on the cliffs, the days are very long (in Shetland, it’s light for almost 24 hours), and temperatures are usually a pleasant 10 to 15 degrees. It’s also the ideal time to spot whales, dolphins, and seals around the islands.
What animals can I see along the route?
Scotland’s islands are among the finest seabird regions in Europe. Puffins, northern gannets, guillemots, kittiwakes, and fulmars breed on the cliffs of Fair Isle, Noss, and St. Kilda. With a little luck, you may spot gray seals, porpoises, white-beaked dolphins, orcas, and minke whales in the waters. Golden eagles and white-tailed eagles circle over the Hebrides, and on land you may encounter red deer and otters.
What clothes and gear do I need?
The weather on the Scottish islands changes quickly. You’ll receive a waterproof 3-in-1 polar expedition jacket as a gift, and rubber boots for shore excursions will be provided on board. Bring waterproof pants, a fleece, and thermal underwear (layered for warmth), along with sturdy hiking boots for cliff trails, a hat, thin gloves, and binoculars for birdwatching.
What physical requirements are necessary?
The activity level is moderate. You should be able to use the gangway without assistance, board and disembark from a Zodiac in rough seas, and walk over wet, uneven, or rocky terrain. At each port, there are shore excursions of varying difficulty levels, so you can choose between more challenging hikes and more leisurely tours. If you have limited mobility or need a walking aid, please contact us before booking.
Who is this trip particularly suited for?
This trip is ideal for anyone who wants to experience Scotland’s islands off the beaten path: birdwatchers and nature lovers at the large seabird colonies; history and archaeology enthusiasts at the Neolithic World Heritage Sites of Orkney and the Viking site of Jarlshof; and active travelers who want to explore caves by Zodiac and hike along cliffs. Solo travelers are also very welcome.
Can solo travelers ride along, too?
Solo travelers are very welcome on our trips. Single cabins are also available for those traveling alone. Please feel free to contact us; we’ll find the right solution for you. If you do not wish to have a single cabin, shared cabins are available on board. In this case, you will be accommodated with other travelers of the same gender and possibly of a different nationality. No single cabin surcharges apply. A diverse mix of passengers is typical on board. The expedition atmosphere, with group shore excursions and a lecture program, makes it easy to socialize.
