Mull is the heart of the Inner Hebrides. On board this magical Scottish islands cruise you will circumnavigate the island to visit the famous islands of Staffa and Iona. Iona has been for centuries a place of Christian pilgrimage and it is considered the birthplace of western Christianity. It was here that in AD563 Saint Columba founded an abbey when he traveled over from Ireland. The early abbey monks created the wonderful and famous Book of Kells.

Saint Columba and 48 Scottish kings, including Macbeth, as well as some Irish and French kings, are buried on Iona. One can walk in peaceful solitude along the island paths away from the Abbey.

Staffa has one of the world's most spectacular natural marvels in Fingal's cave - one of the islands many sea caves. The soaring beauty of the island and the cave's towering, six-sided basalt columns are famously captured by Mendelssohn's Hebridean Overture.

As we travel around Mull we can see incredible wildlife - soaring golden and sea eagles, basking sharks, minke and killer whales, porpoises, dolphins, seabirds and seals.

Sit back and enjoy the trip as you travel through the island's picturesque Sounds and sea lochs; view the spectacular mountains of Mull including mighty Ben More; marvel at the headland lighthouses and castles and get involved in working the small cruise ships – it is all up to you!
