Itinerary
The main town on the Isle of Mull has a very scenic natural harbour, fringed with brightly painted buildings. Go ashore for shopping and woodland walks.
A hidden gem of the Hebrides, the Isle of Coll has a vibrant community and a very picturesque harbour. The panorama of nearby islands makes a dramatic backdrop to Coll's flower-filled machair and sparkling white shell-sand beaches. Coll is a basking shark hot spot from July onwards.
The Island of Mingulay is uninhabited apart from a large colony of grey seals and thousands of sea birds. Anchor in Mingulay Bay, with its sandy beach ideal for a trip ashore. Walk through the remains of the village and listen to the singing of the seals as they come ashore each night.
Anchor in Castlebay with Kisimul Castle providing a dramatic presence.
Only a narrow strip of machair links Vatersay to Barra, providing two magnificent shell-sand beaches on either side.
For such a small island, Eriskay is known far beyond the Hebrides for the film “Whisky Galore”. Cruise the length of South Uist with a choice of anchorages
Travelling north the coastline breaks into hundred of tiny islands and islets, a stunning seascape
Nestled in a valley where North and South Harris meet and set against a backdrop of rugged mountain peaks, Tarbert, the main settlement in Harris is a sheltered and pretty anchorage.
Cruise the Sound of Skye to Loch Scavaig with the dramatic backdrop of the Cuillins of Skye providing a breathtaking anchorage.
The remote and uninhabited Monach Isles lie west of North Uist with a choice of sheltered anchorages. The islands are all linked at low tide with white sandy beaches; an idyllic paradise.
Call in at one or more of this group of small islands with tiny populations and a haven for wildlife
Drop in at Loch Drumbuie before heading homeward down the Sound of Mull to Oban

About The Majestic Line
Fleet of three boats boat wheel Polishing the bell
There are many reasons for starting a business but to save beautifully crafted wooden hulled fishing trawlers from the chainsaw must be one of the most unusual. But that is exactly what friends Andy Thoms and Ken Grant did. In 2004 they bought and converted their first vessel, the Glen Massan, to a mini cruise liner, sailing out of Holy Loch, near Dunoon to cruise the wonderful sheltered lochs and islands of Argyll. In May 2007 a sister vessel, The Glen Tarsan was launched . Find out more about the boats and how the conversions took place on video
We are now building a new purpose built vessel, the Glen Etive which will be ready for the 2016 season . The new vessel is currently being built by Ardmaleish Boatbuilding Co. Ltd on the Clyde. Finished in traditional wood and brass, with spacious accommodation and a steel based hull, the new boat will undertake 10-day cruises to Islay, Skye, the Outer Hebrides and St Kilda.
The Majestic Line cruises are designed to reveal the hidden beauty of the sheltered lochs and islands of Argyll and the Hebrides, which are often undiscovered by visitors to the area, but well known to Andy and Ken, who live and sail there.
Guests on our cruises often remark that they have "left the world behind" or that "time stands still". We get extremely positive feedback from our guests and this is mainly due to the crews on our boats, who provide an exceptional standard of hospitality.
Our main aim is to amaze and delight our guests on board. We take our guests to idyllic and scenic places, provide a range of shore trips, cook amazing meals from locally sourced ingredients and generally serve their every need in a most unobtrusive way. We are very proud of the very positive customer feedback we get from our guests, from booking through to disembarking. Cruise Argyll and the Hebrides
There is no better way to explore Argyll and the Hebrides than the freedom and flexibility of a small-ship cruise. Soak in the scenery, wildlife, history and culture, while enjoying delicious food onboard and fascinating trips onshore. Our mini-cruise ships take you off the beaten track for a personal discovery of the West Coast of Scotland. We know the most idyllic, secret anchorages, many of which are only accessible by our smaller vessels.
