SCOTLAND - N.IRELAND / WHISKY ISLANDS / 13 - 20.07.2024We are opening initial enrollment for a series of sailing expeditions in Scotland.
Let's dive into the history, traditions, culture and life of the Scots and Irish. We will explore the most famous islands such as Jura, Islay, Ireland, Arran, etc..., whose history stretches back to Mesolithic times. The spirit of Celtic, Norwegian and English-speaking people awaits you here in Scotland.
We sail and we play!
So, of course, we won’t miss whisky tastings and various distilleries are on our MUST DO list (Oban, Lagavulin, Bowmore, Caol ila, Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Arran and others of your choice).
You have definitely seen some of those fascinating landscape photos of Northern Ireland which became so famous thanks to the series "Game of Thrones": foggy ancient forests, endless valleys and the harsh Atlantic coast!
Sign up today to join us for one of three weeks or for all three! See you on board!
