Onboard experience

Travelling with CalMac isn’t simply about getting from A to B. A journey aboard one of our vessels is an experience in itself; a chance for travellers to savour our famous Scottish hospitality. That starts with our food and drink offerings. You will find a Mariners Café on most of our vessels offering an eclectic menu of locally sourced produce to suit all tastes and dietary requirements.

The Bar

Our talented tenders will be happy to serve you a drink from our list of famous brands and locally sourced artisan suppliers. Our drinks menu features a great range of Scottish beers and ales alongside imported wines and spirits. And of course, no self-respecting Scottish bar would be complete without a selection of malt whiskies. Ask your bartender about our malt of the month!
