Riviera Travel adds two extra sailings to British Isles programme

Riviera Travel has added two sailings to its summer ?Cruising Scotland?s Highlands & Islands? UK cruise ship itinerary.

The voyages, which will take place on August 2 and 9, have been made available after the original four July sailings sold out earlier this week.

The eight-day itinerary departs from either Edinburgh or Greenock and has a port stop and excursion included every day, taking in Aberdeen, Inverness, Orkney, Oban, the Outer Hebrides and Belfast. Tours on offer include trips to Loch Ness, Balmoral Castle, the Titanic Visitor Centre, the Callanish Standing Stones, and the Neolithic Ring of Brodgar henge and stone circle.

Katja Hildebrandt from Riviera Travel, said: "We're thrilled with the demand we have seen from the trade for our highlands and islands cruise, so are delighted to be able to announce these two additional sailings to everyone still looking to book up. The itinerary will offer a fascinating insight into the culture and heritage that is right on our doorstep. The fact our ship can explore ports inaccessible to larger vessels will only add to the authenticity of the trip."

Guests will sail on the 158-guest MS Seaventure, the only one of its size to cruise the British Isles. It has 82 sea-view cabins with a choice of balcony, panoramic window or porthole. The vessel has an on-board fitness suite, sauna, heated saltwater pool, expedition theatre and library. 

Prices start from ?1,999 per person based on two people sharing a cabin, including full board, tours, visits as per the itinerary and all port taxes. A limited number of cabins are also available for sole occupancy without a supplement.
