Scenic Isles of Scotland
*Applicable to new bookings made from 16/03/2022 on 2022/23 cruises sailing from the UK, of 7 to 9 nights in duration, see terms & conditions.
This escape to Scotland is proof you don’t have to travel far, or for very long, to experience the rugged beauty and unspoilt peace of remote islands and waterways.[ReadMoreMob] You’re in for five days of Scottish discovery, with scenic cruising on board Borealis an undoubted highlight. You’ll sail by the intriguing Dutchman’s Cap volcanic rock formations; watch as Atlantic waves crash against the basalt columns of Fingal’s Cave; and view the wild landscapes and historic sites of the Small Isles and Sound of Mull. What's more, with the help and guidance of ORCA conservationists who'll join on board for your adventure, you'll get to look out for marine life living in its natural habitat, learn about them and play a part in assisting with their conservation.
When you get to take your discovery ashore, there are chances to seek-out the sights and highlights of Shetland, the isles of Skye and Bute, and the Highlands too. You can go in search of seabirds amongst the rugged landscapes of RSPB Sumburgh Head on tour from Lerwick, which is also your gateway to the ancient settlements of Jarlshof and Clickimin Broch, while from Invergordon, Loch Ness and Highland landscapes and landmarks – such as Cawdor Castle – await you. On Bute, discover Rothesay’s unique ruins, including Rothesay Castle and, on the Isle of Skye, explore colourful Portree and its craggy coastline. What’s more, there’s also a visit to Northern Ireland, with time in Belfast to take in the attractions of the capital city.
Your Itinerary
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Jul 20 | Depart - late afternoon
Belfast is the largest city and capital of Northern Ireland. Located on the banks of the River Lagan, it has a strong maritime connection – it was once home to the biggest shipyard in the world, the infamous Harland & Wolff shipyard, where the iconic RMS Titanic was built. The city is also home to the prestigious Queen’s University and the Ulster Museum, which celebrates Northern Irish history. In addition, Belfast is a great starting point for visiting the impressive Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim.
Portree Isle of Skye, United Kingdom
Jul 21 | Arrive - early morning | Depart - late afternoon
Portree is the Isle of Skye’s largest and liveliest town. Set within a pretty natural harbour with brightly-coloured houses and surrounded by rocky cliffs and rolling hills, Portree is a truly beautiful place to explore. Its name (from the Gaelic for King’s Harbour) commemorates James V, who arrived here in 1540 to pacify the local clans.
The town is a popular tourist destination, thanks to its stunning coastline and interesting attractions that include the An Tuireann Arts Centre, which celebrates the island’s Gaelic heritage. Portree also serves as a gateway to other attractions on the island, such as the intriguing rock formations at Trotternish Ridge, the ruins of Duntulm castle, and the peninsula unflatteringly known as ‘The Lump’, which once provided a setting for public hangings in Trotternish.
Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland
Jul 22 | Arrive - early morning | Depart - late evening
Lerwick is the friendly capital of the 100 islands and islets of Shetland. The bustling, cosmopolitan seaport is the islands’ only town, and its wonderful natural harbour is a joy to explore. Until the 1600s, Leir Vik, Norse for a muddy bay, was little more than a few huts. However, conflict between the British and Dutch, whose fishing fleet fished for herrings off the islands, led to the building of a permanent settlement. This included Fort Charlotte, which once overlooked the harbour but has now been enclosed by the town following land reclamation.
Despite the wealth created by North Sea oil, modern Lerwick retains many fascinating small shops and historic buildings. Wandering along atmospheric Commercial Street is a delight, and the Böd of Gremista, a “fishing booth” built in 1780, is now a fascinating museum. Outside the town are the well-preserved remains of the Broch of Clickimin, a small Bronze-Age settlement excavated in the last century.
Invergordon, Scotland
Jul 23 | Arrive - early morning | Depart - early afternoon
Invergordon, located at the head of Cromarty Firth in the stunning Scottish Highlands, has a homespun charm and serves as a gateway to the legendary waters of Loch Ness, Culloden Battlefield, and the Whyte & Mackay whisky distillery.
A short walk into the centre reveals the town’s collection of impressive murals painted by local artists, which tell stories of the local area. It’s also the perfect place to explore Scottish history amid the brooding splendour of 15th century Cawdor Castle (forever but incorrectly linked with Shakespeare’s Macbeth), and the imposing Dunrobin Castle, which dates from the 13th century and houses a fine collection of paintings and family memorabilia belonging to the Earls of Sutherland.
Cruising by The Small Isles, Scotland
Jul 24 | Arrive - early morning | Depart - late morning
Part of the Inner Hebrides, lying just south of the Isle of Skye, the Small Isles are four beautiful lands - Eigg, Rum, Canna and Muck - famed for their dramatic scenery, their variety of wildlife and natural wonders, and some architectural highlights too.
As you sail the waters surrounding the isles, you'll witness their wild beauty from the comfort of your small ship. Look out for mighty volcanic peaks and Kinlock Castle on Rum, where Sea Eagles are often spotted in the skies above; the basalt cliffs of Canna; the charming villages of Eigg; and Muck's fertile lowlands and pretty beaches.
Cruising by Dutchman's Cap (Bac Mòr), Scotland
Jul 24 | Arrive - early afternoon | Depart - early afternoon
Bac Mòr, affectionately known as ‘Dutchman’s Cap’ due to its unmistakable shape, is one of the most distinctive landmarks discovered amongst the beautiful Scottish Isles, a unique volcanic formation of grass-topped black lava that provides a safe haven for sea birds, and spectacular views for anyone who visits.
While the island doesn’t have any suitable landing places, simply sailing by Bac Mòr with Fred. Olsen makes for a memorable experience; you’ll get to wonder at its intriguing shape and look out for the native birds from the comfort of your smaller sized ship.
Cruising Fingal's Cave, Isle of Staffa, Scotland
Jul 24 | Arrive - early afternoon | Depart - early afternoon
Similar to the famous, UNESCO-listed Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, Fingal’s Cave is a beautiful basalt sea-cave with distinctive ‘columns’ and a remarkable symmetry that looks incredible as you cruise past.
Often, the cliffs, ledges and grassy slopes are smothered with native seabirds, including guillemots, razorbills, puffins and more, so it’s the perfect place to enjoy a little birdwatching. Just make sure you have your binoculars to hand!
Cruising Sound of Mull, Scotland
Jul 24 | Arrive - early afternoon | Depart - late afternoon
Flowing between the Isle of Mull and the shores of Scotland, the Sound of Mull is a beautiful stretch of water that forms part of the Atlantic Ocean. As you sail through the sound on your Fred. Olsen cruise ship you'll see some stunning natural landscapes and will truly appreciate the beauty of the British Isles.
Cruising past Duart Castle, Scotland
Jul 24 | Arrive - late afternoon | Depart - late afternoon
Duart Castle dates back to the 13th century and is one of the most historic, important and prettiest castles in the Highlands. Set amongst a back drop of beautiful valleys, the castle looks impressive from any angle, especially from the water - a sight you'll get to see during your scenic cruise here.
Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Scotland
Jul 25 | Arrive - early morning | Depart - early evening
Situated on the isle’s picturesque east coast, charming Rothesay is Bute’s main town and the gateway to exploring a land of extraordinarily diverse landscapes, ranging from fertile rolling hills and wild, craggy marshlands to some of Scotland’s most beautiful beaches and coastal stretches.
But, while discovering the stunning, unspoilt scenery of Bute makes for an unforgettable island exploration, Rothesay itself has much to recommend it and provides plenty of rewards for those who take some time here. The town oozes with Victorian heritage; you’ll see glimpses of its past from the moment Rothesay Bay, fronted by delightful Victorian buildings and historic gardens, come into view.
Once ashore, a short walk is all it takes to reach the heart of the town, which is sure to delight with its seaside resort charm and fascinating history, exhibited by landmarks and attractions such as the 13th century Rothesay Castle and 14th century St Mary’s Church.
Liverpool, England
Jul 26 | Arrive - early morning | Depart - early evening
Liverpool is one of Britain's most iconic and interesting cities, and famously home to the Cavern Club and The Beatles.
Liverpool - a former European Capital of Culture - is globally-renowned for its music, arts, culture and diverse architecture, and attracts visitors from around the globe.
A busy port city, Liverpool is also known for its historic waterfront district and Albert Dock, where some of the city's best known galleries and museums can be found. The Tate Gallery, International Slavery Museum and 'The Beatles Story' exhibition are easily found on foot, and sit alongside the largest collection of Grade One listed buildings in the UK, including the iconic Liver Building and a number of structures associated with the ill-fated RMS Titanic.
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Jul 27 | Arrive - early morning
Belfast is the largest city and capital of Northern Ireland. Located on the banks of the River Lagan, it has a strong maritime connection – it was once home to the biggest shipyard in the world, the infamous Harland & Wolff shipyard, where the iconic RMS Titanic was built. The city is also home to the prestigious Queen’s University and the Ulster Museum, which celebrates Northern Irish history. In addition, Belfast is a great starting point for visiting the impressive Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim.

The Olsen Way
In recent years, we have seen a new era emerging in cruising.
There is a trend for everything to get bigger and busier, and for a cruise to be seen as an alternative to a large luxury resort, with a limitless flurry of activity. But this is not for us. Find out more
We are free to do things a different way because we are family-run. Of course some people enjoy the bigger, busier cruises, but it is not for everyone, and it is not for us. We prefer to do things, 'The Olsen Way'.
We have fewer guests, so the atmosphere on board our ships is always warm and civilised. Our smaller ships allow us to visit the more interesting places that the world has to offer.
We pride ourselves on putting our all into the Fred. Olsen cruise experience. Our itineraries are created from scratch every year, our service is genuinely personal and each and every area of our ships is designed by hand.
About Your Ship
Borealis, like her sister ship Bolette, has capacity for less than 1,400 guests but is larger in overall size than the other vessels in the Fred. Olsen fleet. This means when you come on board for a memorable cruise holiday, to relax and enjoy a premium level of comfort – as well as our renowned personal service – in the elegant public areas, lounges, bars and dining venues, you have even more space in which to do so.
With its warm, welcoming atmosphere and timeless style, and classic open deck spaces providing a place to fully immerse yourself in the magic of ocean cruising, Borealis is very much in keeping with what our guests have come to expect from a Fred. Olsen ship.
