The Olsen Way Highlights
On this rewarding journey, Balmoral will head to remote Scottish isles, presenting you with examples of remarkable nature and fascinating culture. Representatives from wildlife charity ORCA will be on hand to help you search for seabirds and marine life, including puffins and orca, from your ship. Ashore, you can explore the dramatic landscapes of Skye, such as the rocky outcrop known as the Old Man of Storr; dock in Lerwick – only possible on smaller ships – where you can learn about Viking farming traditions and meet some local crofters; and discover Orkney’s fascinating history on a tour of the Neolithic village of Skara Brae, an archaeological treasure. Balmoral will sail past the coastal cliffs and birdlife hotspot of Sumburgh Head.
