Life aboard the 48-passenger Lord of the Glens feels like a cross between relaxing in a stately country manor and taking a voyage aboard a private yacht with friends. It is the perfect way to explore the Scottish countryside.
Lord of the Glens accommodates 48 guests in 26 outside cabins. At 150 feet, she is uniquely sized to fit through the network of locks and canals that cut through the heart of the Scottish highlands—the Caledonian Canal, which connects the North Sea to the Atlantic. And, she can also navigate the coastline and venture to the islands of the Inner Hebrides, making her the only vessel that can cut across the country and explore islands in the Atlantic in such grand style.
Public Spaces
Time aboard is relaxing and enlightening—the perfect peaceful respite between exploring storied towns and hiking the highlands. The open-top deck is set with tables and chairs, offering an ideal perch to take in the view of the Scottish countryside or see the busy crew at work as we pass through the locks. There are teak decks and warm mahogany finishes throughout. The feeling aboard is as if relaxing in a fine country home.
Lounge & Bar
The lounge is the heart of our expedition community, and it is divided into two sections: the forward area is called the Sir Walter Scott lounge, a smaller, intimate space to gather with friends. And the aft section is the David Livingstone lounge, which accommodates the entire expedition community at once for briefings and nightly Recap. The bar is located between the two, with beer, bottled wines, cocktails, specialty drinks, spirits, and wine by the glass available for sale.
Dining
Meals are served to the entire expedition community in a single seating, with some tables accommodating an odd number for easy mixing. Dress is always casual and the general ambience is relaxed and informal. The dining room is wrapped in picture windows, so we’re sure to never miss the view.
Breakfast is served buffet style and options abound, including a full Scottish breakfast comprising eggs, bacon, tomatoes, black pudding and toast. There’s fresh bread, cereals, fresh fruit, yogurts together with coffee and tea. During lunch and dinner your expedition leader, historian, and any guest speakers aboard will join you for meals, and during breakfast they often sit together to plan the logistics of the exciting day ahead. In addition, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are available 24 hours a day. Soft drinks are included, and alcoholic beverages are available at an additional charge.
