British Isles & Ireland — FAQ

Can I see Loch Ness on a cruise?

Yes, from Invergordon. Loch Ness is roughly an hour away by road, and most tours combine it with Inverness, the Culloden battlefield or a Highland castle.

Is the Giant’s Causeway reachable from Belfast or Dublin?

It is an easy full-day trip from Belfast, about an hour and a half up the Antrim coast. From Dublin it is a much longer drive, so most passengers save it for the Belfast call.
