BRITISH ISLES TOURS

Expertly curated British Isles adventures: join our guided tours to witness majestic landscapes, unique wildlife encounters, and rich cultural heritage.

About the British Isles

Our remarkable Scotland and British Isles cruises are crammed full of cultural, historical and wildlife focussed experiences, and we really want you to experience the very best of all of them. Exploring onboard your expedition ship we take you to places that are off the beaten track and offer you the chance to immerse yourself in everything from the Norse traditions of the Shetlands to fascinating 5,000-year-old Stone Age ruins to the historic legacy of Portsmouth. Embarking on a journey that takes in Britain, Ireland, and Scotland you’ll delve into the culture of local coastal towns, kayak in the lakes of Scotland, immerse yourself in the cultural delights of Dublin and Edinburgh and visit some of the most charming yet remote islands in the world.

At Wildfoot we are expert in offering the very best of every destination we explore, and our cruises to Britain and Scotland are no exception. Sample Islay’s celebrated malts in the morning and then explore the colonies of seals, puffins and guillemots in the afternoon. Uncover the hidden side of places well-travelled on an expedition that concentrates on the highlights, navigates the clichés and offers personal encounters that every one of our guests will always remember.

Souvenirs


Souvenirs

Ah, Scotland in particular is a haven for souvenir shoppers. Whiskey is the obvious choice but a piece of fine Harris Tweed makes a nice gift for a friend at home, or why not for yourself?

Best time to travel


Best time to travel

Spring has to be one of the best times for a British Isles cruise. The flowers are exquisite and their fragrance bathes the air wherever you go. Spring is often more sunny than summer, and that fresh sunshine brings with it pleasant temperatures that are perfect for exploring.
