Riviera Travel adds extra UK departures to meet demand

Riviera Travel has added two Scottish itinerary departures to its summer programme to meet customer demand.

The Cruising Scotland’s Highlands & Islands sailings will depart on August 2 and August 9.

They have been included after all four July departures of the same itinerary sold out.

The eight-day itinerary on the 158-passenger ship Seaventure (pictured) departs from Edinburgh on August 2 or Greenock on August 9, and includes calls to Aberdeen, Inverness, Orkney, Oban, the Hebrides and Belfast.

Tours of Loch Ness, Balmoral Castle and the Ring of Brodgar henge and stone circle are all available to passengers who book either departure.

Riviera said: “All ports are UK-based and guests can therefore book without any travel limitation concerns.”

Head of river cruising Katja Hildebrandt said: “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.”
