3 Day " Royal Route” Excursion

Crinan & Caledonian Canal to Inverness

Thursday 26th April – Tuesday 1st May 2012

The "Royal Route” is a unique 3 day sailing excursion from Greenock through the Crinan and Caledonian Canal to Inverness.  This 3 day excursion is designed for the independent traveller who is keen to see the West Coast of Scotland and this famous route from a different perspective.

A sail through the Great Glen along the world famous Caledonian Canal is a never to be forgotten experience. Some sixty miles in length, forty of which are natural freshwater lochs, dotted here and there with small islands, the beauty of which both fascinates and charms, while the pine clad mountains sail past. A wonderful sailing experience, beautiful and awe inspiring in its’ grandeur, the entire area is steeped in past history of the Clans Fraser and Cameron.
This truly magnificent journey, made famous by Queen Victoria is home to some of the most captivating scenery in the West Coast of Scotland.
  Clyde Marine's highly trained crew will expertly navigate the MV Rover through stunning waterways and quaint villages.
Prices for the trip start from £75 per day but there are a limited number of fully inclusive tickets available at a discounted price.
