Traditional Scottish Music Cruise

28/11/2025, 15:10

Traditional Scottish Music Cruise

We are delighted that our new ‘Traditional Scottish Music Cruise’ has been so well received, with the 2026 voyage already fully booked.

Guests will enjoy evening sessions of fiddle, whistle and songs in the saloon and bagpipes on deck performed by the accomplished musicians Lesley and Chris.

This is a Scottish cruise with a difference – you will live on board our small ship Seahorse II that will anchor in remote and beautiful places giving you the opportunity to listen to traditional music at some breathtaking locations.

Because of the demand we are will be offering a similar cruise in 2027, departing on on 27th September for six nights.
