We have partnered up with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a spectacular eight-night cruise around the Scottish Isles and lochs.
On this summer exploration, guests will be able to revel in the breath-taking beauty of the Scottish Isles landscapes, from the serene lochs of Hourn and Broom to the diverse vistas of the Small Isles. The cruise will also take in captivating sites such as the Old Man of Hoy sea stacks, bonnet-shaped Bac Mor and the hexagonal basalt columns of Fingal’s Cave.

Guests will also have the opportunity to witness marine life such as whales, porpoises and seals as well as embrace Gaelic culture with whisky, Ceilidh dancing and Orkney fudge.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines operates three smaller-sized ships – Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral – and offers regional departures across the UK from Southampton, Dover, Portsmouth, Liverpool, Newcastle and Rosyth.

All cruises are handcrafted by Fred. Olsen’s team of in-house Journey Planners to make sure guests are not only visiting the best destinations, but at the best time to experience them.
