A complimentary transfer will be provided from Oban for guests wishing to return to Greenock at the end of the cruise.

From Loch Fyne savour the timelessness of Crarae Garden, created by Lady Campbell in 1912, and be transported momentarily to the Himalayas from the cascading waterfall of Crarae Burn.

At Auchindrain Township, experience a unique vision of long-gone Highland life, bearing silent witness to the darker Clearance days. Slipping through the Kyles of Bute to Rothesay, wonder at the Neo-Gothic splendour of Mount Stuart House, set in 300 acres of attractive wooded and landscaped gardens.

Breathtaking panoramas open up as Hebridean Princess cruises Loch Long and Loch Goil for Arran. From bustling Brodick explore this 'Scotland in miniature', or succumb to the temptations of the Cheese Shop and Arran Aromatics in town. St Molaise's Holy Isle in Lamlash Bay, now a Buddhist retreat, is perfect for leisurely afternoon strolls. Ashore in Campbeltown, taste the single malt at Springbank Distillery, Scotland's oldest family-owned distillery, founded in 1828 where the well-kept secrets have been handed down through generations of Mitchells.

En route northwards in the afternoon, round the celebrated Mull of Kintyre into the Sound of Gigha. From Loch na Mile walk below the towering Paps on wild Jura, home to 6,500 red deer, a far cry from the picture-postcard beauty of Crinan Canal, built by Rennie and Telford as a shortcut westwards for sailing ships, and now a yachting haven.

Pass through moist, green woodlands into the springtime glory of Arduaine Garden, high above Loch Melfort, and onwards to lush Kerrera, an ancient rallying point of Scottish kings, for tranquil walks, before Oban.
