New season - Scottish island adventure podcast

Hosted by Tony Kearney, season 3 dives even deeper into the stories, spirit and soul of the west coast islands. Each episode centres around a theme inspired by what you can discover across our island communities – from world-renowned whisky and rejuvenating wellness, to incredible outdoor adventures, rich history, and the remarkable people who make every journey possible.

Discover our onboard food, drink and local suppliers

That’s not the engine you hear rumbling - it’s time to visit our onboard cafés with menus to suit all tastes. It’s all part of the adventure when you sail with us, from fresh dishes perfect for sharing to treats from our shop. You’ll also find products from over 60 local and island-based suppliers across 15 islands - a great way to sample and support the communities we serve.
