www.noble-caledonia.co.uk Join us aboard the MS Hebridean Sky for this wonderful journey around Scotland%u2019s magnificent coastline, an indented landscape of enormous natural splendour with offshore islands forming stepping stones into the Atlantic. If you have always had a hankering to visit some of the remotest and most inaccessible islands in Scotland, this is the ideal opportunity. Few cruise ships offer the chance to explore in-depth the islands off the northern coast of Scotland and our itinerary ventures far north to the Orkney and Shetland Islands as well as the magical Hebridean islands. We will visit both inhabited and uninhabited islands and places of great natural beauty rich in birdlife, wildlife and mystical history, many with a long history dating back to the Iron Age.One of Europe%u2019s last remaining wilderness areas affords the traveller a marvellous island hopping journey through stunning scenery accompanied by spectacular sunsets and prolific wildlife. With our naturalists and local guides we will explore the isles, and with our nimble Zodiac craft be able to reach some of the most remote and untouched places. There is no better way to explore this endlessly fascinating and beautiful region that will cast its spell on you than by small ship. With just over 100 travelling companions, the atmosphere on board is more akin to a private yacht trip and ashore, with our local experts we will divide into small groups thereby enjoying a more comprehensive and peaceful experience. Learn something of the island%u2019s history, see their abundant bird and marine life, but above all revel in the timeless enchantment that these islands exude to all those who appreciate the natural world. Our expedition is timed for the northern summer when the sun barely shrinks below the horizon and the enchanted visitor will be moved and seduced by the majesty of the islands, lochs and seascapes.This is not a %u2018traditional%u2019 cruise but a thought provoking, island hopping voyage of discovery for those who wish to see and learn more about the natural world and the culture of remote communities. The opportunity to combine the small communities of Fair Isle, Fetlar and Unst with the uninhabited St Kilda into one itinerary is rare, and with visits to the spiritual isle of Iona, the charming town of Tobermory and the Shetland capital of Lerwick, such a journey allows us to understand the history, experience the culture and witness the wildlife and astonishing beauty of the islands.
