Small ship cruising specialist, The Majestic Line, is offering travellers the chance to book a 2016 cruise at 2015 prices until 30 June 2015 – offering a saving of up to £300 per person.

From Spring 2016, newly constructed vessel The Glen Etive will also join The Majestic Line's fleet, with an introductory saving of £450 per person on 10-night cruises booked before 30 June 2015. 

Running between April and October 2016, the cruises offer the chance to explore Argyll and the Hebrides on board two lovingly converted fishing boats.  The customised vessels, which operate out of Oban, offer exceptional hospitality set against the stunning backdrop of Scotland's rugged coastline.  The boats' small size also allow for easy inshore access, enabling visitors to step directly on to beautiful islands including Mull, Skye and Jura during either a three or six night cruise.

When it enters service, The Glen Etive – which is currently being built on the Clyde – will allow for trips to more far-flung routes including the Outer Hebrides and St Kilda, whilst still offering high standards of comfort and personal service.

Cruises on board The Majestic Line start from £945 for a three-night cruise.  For more information, or to book, log on to www.themajesticline.co.uk or call 01369 707 951.
