A new 10-night cruise to the Southern Hebridean Islands will take in the whisky isles of Islay and Jura as they celebrate 200 years of malt whisky production. The best way to experience these unique distilleries is from the sea, reflecting the maritime flavour of the whiskies themselves. Mini-cruise operator The Majestic Line is offering two departures for 2016 on May 21st and August 27th 2016 on board their luxury vessel, The Glen Etive. The May date of the new cruise \u201cIslay and the Southern Hebrides\u201d is timed for the Islay Festival of Music and Malt, F\u00e8is \u00ccle, from 20 \u2013 28th May 2016.<\/p>\n

The cruise has a strong focus on whisky and local gourmet food produce, but the outstanding scenery, ancient history and rare wildlife will ensure a complete appreciation of these islands. Historically, the Southern Hebrides was of great significance as \u201cArgyll\u2019s Sea Kingdom\u201d from the 10th century. The vessel will literally cruise in the wake of the Lords of the Isles, including to Corryvreckan, Europe\u2019s largest whirlpool, and the name of one of Ardbeg\u2019s most explosive whiskies.
