The National Trust for Scotland is offering what could be the perfect cruise for whisky fans this May, which as part of Scotland’s Year of Food and Drink and has been dubbed Whisky Month. From May 14-21, the trust sets sail on the latest of its popular “cultural cruising” voyages.
The delightful Pearl II cruise ship is the vessel for the week, featuring the best of Scottish scenery, music and, of course, food. The ship’s excellent chefs prepare delicious high-quality cuisine, often
using local ingredients sourced at the varied ports of call.
To coincide with Whisky Month, this bespoke voyage offers the chance to visit Talisker Distillery, on Skye, Oban, where the town grew up around the distillery, and the brand-new Isle of Harris Distillery at Tarbert. Excursions on offer at various ports will include calls at local
eateries to sample home cooking made from local produce.
The itinerary includes calls at Oban, St Kilda, Harris and Skye, starting and finishing at Greenock. Onboard breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and a late-night buffet are included daily.
