Entertainment
Lord of the Highlands is unique. During her multimillion-pound refit, much of her original décor was removed and replaced by rich hardwood finishes offset by cream panelling, reminiscent of a British Pullman carriage.
With its impressive glass atrium, the Panorama Lounge is abound with comfortable and contemporary armchairs, whilst clustered and cosy seating areas encourage small groups where guests can chat privately. For the perfect view of the ensuing scenery, the arching window seat is the perfect place to catch a glimpse of the next instalment of the journey ahead, but for a more formal arrangement, the window lined Pullman chair area of the lounge is perhaps somewhere to settle with a good book or simply take in the awe-inspiring scenery as it glides by
Dining
Enrichment
