Cruising from Scotland
Scotland boasts a fantastic range of regional ports for cruises departing direct from Scotland. See below for:
- Cruises from Aberdeen
- Cruises from Dundee
- Cruises from Edinburgh Leith
- Cruises from Greenock
- Cruises from Rosyth
Owing to their smaller ships being able to access smaller regional ports, Fred Olsen and Ambassador are the main cruise lines offering cruises from Scotland. These sailings most commonly are short, 3 to 5 day mini cruises, around the British Isles to take in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the wider UK and Ireland, or to Northern Europe, such as to Norway and Iceland. In addition, some cruises leaving Scotland do sail further afield to the Mediterranean or even the Canary Islands and Caribbean on occasion.
Alternatively, just south of the border, cruises from Newcastle are another no-fly option, or see here for a fly cruise from Scotland.
