Synopsis: a gentle late season cruise where we take advantage of the natural shelter of the islands. Very easy going, ideal if you've never done this kind of thing before. Enjoy the last of summer and stunning scenery of autumn. Walks, cetaceans and a very small possibility of seeing the Northern Lights.

Destination: guests join motor vessel Hjalmar Bjorge at around 1600 on Thursday 16 September in Oban. Our departure shortly thereafter will see us on anchor for our first evening meal aboard. 

The itinerary is dependent on weather - balancing shelter with reaching some interesting locations - but may include, for example, some of the following destinations: Mull, the Small Isles (Rum, Canna, Eigg and Muck), the Treshnish Isles, Gometra, Iona, Coll and the Garvellachs, etc. Excellent time of year for cetaceans, plus eagles, a few seabirds and picturesque sunsets. We don't see the Northern Lights very often but when we have done so it has been from late August onwards.

On the final day we head back into Oban for your departure after brunch or lunch on Monday 20 September.
