The Lord of the Highlands

With rich hardwood finishes and soft cream panelling, Lord of the Highlands reflects the charm of a classic Pullman carriage. The upper deck offers sweeping views through large picture windows, whether dining in the Caledonian Restaurant or relaxing in the Panorama Lounge.

Nineteen outward-facing cabins span two decks, including a suite and four with private balconies.

Fine dining is central to the experience. Expert chefs prepare dishes from the finest local ingredients, paired with carefully chosen wines. Panoramic windows keep the scenery in view as guests enjoy relaxed breakfasts, varied lunches, and elegant three-course dinners with coffee and petit fours. Gala Dinners add extra flair with a Champagne reception and a traditional recital of Robert Burns’ Address to a Haggis. The Panorama Lounge offers a contemporary, comfortable space to unwind, featuring cosy seating, a striking glass atrium and expansive windows for ever-changing views.

There is no lift on board the ship.
