Accommodation
Beautiful bedrooms – well-appointed and all enjoying views of the ever-changing panorama through the picture windows, Lord of the Highlands’ 19 stylish cabins are elegantly furnished in rich hardwood with the best of contemporary design.
Each incorporates a dressing table, tea and coffee making facilities, satellite TV, ample storage space (wardrobe, drawers and underbed storage for suitcases), a personal safe for valuables and hairdryer. En-suite bathrooms, with walk-in shower, toilet and washbasin are equipped to the highest standards. For your added comfort and relaxation, warm bathrobes, slippers and a wide range of Molton Brown toiletries are also provided, with regular changes of towels. Individually controlled airconditioning/heating ensures your comfort.
The spacious suite on the John Buchan Deck features a comfortable sitting area with sofa and coffee table, a king-sized bed and a mini bar containing a selection of complimentary beverages. Four twin-bedded cabins on this level incorporate a small private balcony to make the most of the fresh air and sea views. (Please note that when the vessel is berthed alongside views from the balcony may be restricted).
Although cabin sizes and fares vary, Hebridean ensures the same high level of service to all guests, irrespective of cabin choice.
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
Lord of the Highlands cruises Scotland in style, visiting stunning destinations along the Caledonian Canal, Great Glen and Western Seaboard. A magical way to discover this country’s dramatic beauty, history and culture.
