Cruise T2610 - Scenic Islands & Dramatic Coastlines of Scotland - 22nd May 2026
Scenic Islands & Coastlines of Scotland
Embark on a five-night voyage around Scotland’s scenic islands aboard Bolette, diverting from the usual tourist route into picturesque lochs and past remarkable sites. Marvel at the mystique of the Isle of Staffa, where the hexagonal basalt columns form Fingal’s Cave. You’ll also sail past the bonnet-shaped island of Bac Mòr, and the diverse landscapes of the Small Isles. Immerse yourself in Gaelic traditions with Ceilidh dancing, sample local whisky, cheeses and fudge in Orkney and engage with centuries-old folklore tales. Enrich your journey as you uncover legendary Neolithic landmarks such as Skara Brae and the standing Stones of Callanish.

L2707 - France & Belgium Easter Break - 25th March 2027
France and Belgium Easter Break
Departing over the Easter break, this sailing invites you to slow down and savour the charm of France and Belgium. With Balmoral able to dock close to Antwerp’s centre, it’s just a short stroll ashore to sample famous Belgian chocolates and beer. After celebrating Easter Sunday in style on board, Balmoral’s smaller size comes to the fore again as you sail the River Seine, a peaceful, scenic experience as you glide past rolling hills. Two days in Rouen allow unhurried exploration – perhaps wander streets lined with half-timbered buildings one day and visit Paris the next, with its iconic landmarks, tempting patisseries and elegant cafés. Another two-day stop in picturesque Honfleur offers time to linger in harbour-front bistros and browse calvados shops.
