We’re looking forward to
welcoming you on board Bolette for your Scenic Coastlines of the
British Isles cruise later this year.
We’re writing to let you know about a small change to your
itinerary and share everything you need to know.
What’s changing?
Instead of visiting Portree
18th September, we’ll now be calling at Tobermory.
There are no other changes
to your itinerary.
Why have we made this change?
We’ve recently been advised of
significant construction works at the landing area in Portree. Unfortunately,
this would affect the tendering arrangements and limit the experience we could
offer when going ashore, both for independent exploration and organised shore
excursions.
Our priority is always your experience
which is why we’ve taken the decision to make this change.
Why Tobermory?
Tobermory is the colourful and
charming capital of the Isle of Mull, instantly recognisable for its brightly
painted houses lining the waterfront. Set against a backdrop of dramatic
landscapes, the town offers beautiful harbour views and a welcoming atmosphere.
Once ashore, you’ll find a lively waterfront with a great
selection of independent shops, cafés and local eateries, perfect for a gentle
stroll and soaking up island life.
Fun fact: Tobermory is the
setting for the much‑loved children’s TV series Balamory, which has
recently returned to CBBC. You may recognise the famous colourful houses if you
have children who grew up watching the show, or young grandchildren enjoying it
today.
Please note: Tobermory is a tender port (as was Portree),
meaning we’ll anchor offshore and use our tender boats to transfer you ashore.
