When the finest cruise vacation is your top priority, this is the place to start.

On a luxury cruise line, guests experience highly personalized service, a more intimate (and usually formal) onboard experience, gourmet cuisine, well-appointed accommodations, and fantastic amenities.

All of these brands feature a version of all-inclusive pricing, and some of them have ships with all-suite accommodations.

River Cruise Lines

Becoming more and more popular, a river cruise is an immerse and destination-focused vacation experience, on a small and luxurious vessel.

River cruises sail through the inland waterways of some of the world's most interesting vacation destinations (i.e. Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America), and provide their guests with a greater opportunity to spend time visiting more unique ports of call than a traditional cruise typically would.

Because the destination is the star of a river cruise, (typically guided) shore excursions are included at no additional charge by many River cruise lines. There are usually many interesting lectures given during the cruise, by experts on the history and culture of the region being visited.

Among the famous rivers that one may take a river cruise on are the Rhine, Mississippi, Seine, Danube, Mekong, Nile, Yangtze, Amazon and Douro.

Things to do near Inverness, Scotland

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Inverness, along with a brief description:

♦ Loch Ness

The legendary Loch Ness is just a short drive (approximately 30 minutes) from Inverness (it’s also a stop on Lindblad’s itinerary). Not only will you be surrounded by stunning scenery, but the remains of Urquhart Castle overlook the water. You’re even able to climb up one of the towers and absorb some of the most stunning views of Loch Ness and the surrounding Scottish Highlands. A restaurant and gift shop are located nearby, so you can grab a bite to eat before or after your visit, and browse the many exciting Loch Ness monster souvenirs to mark your visit.

♦ Castles

If you’re looking to visit some castles that are not in ruins while spending time in Inverness, then be sure to save time for Dunrobin Castle and Cawdor Castle. Dunrobin Castle is one of the largest inhabited castles in the Highlands, featuring almost 200 rooms. Visitors can gain entry to the falconry display, gardens, and museum. There is also a gift shop and tea room. If you want to tour the inside of an active castle, Cawdor Castle includes a tour of the castle, gardens, and nature trails. Other castles in Inverness that are worth checking out include Fort George (which now serves as a history museum) and Castle Stuart (restored with a golf course).

♦ Inverness Museum and Art Gallery

If you’re culturally curious, you might consider checking out the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery. This museum is wonderful way to learn more about the unique history and culture of the Scottish Highlands. Among the many exhibits, you can view ancient artifacts, art collections, artisan crafts, and many more things that tell the story of Scotland’s vast history. There is also a café where you can taste some local cuisine for yourself.
