The most flattering testimonial to the spectacular scenery of British Isles was given by none other than Queen Elizabeth II herself who chose to celebrate her 80th year not with a holiday in a far-flung corner of the globe nor in an exotic European palace, but on a relatively small cruise-ship sailing around the Scottish isles.
Join in the royal cruise of the peaceful Isles, feasting your eyes on the deserted beaches of soft white sand with sapphire waters lapping up their shores with Travour.com, which has five ways to cruise beautiful Britain especially for you.
1. A Hebridean sojourn: Enjoy the princely treatment in the country house ambiance and stately home service of the Hebridean Princess, known for its tasteful décor, quality service and exotic cuisine. This luxury liner emphasizes on personal attention and exclusivity thus accommodating no more than 49 people at a time. The liner boasts of a luxurious lounge, peaceful library and formal wood-panelled dining room before going on deck or the cozy Look Out Lounge to be charmed by the enchanting coastline
2. A round-Britain cruise: Take an elongated pleasure cruise trip on a large ocean going vessel or a lavish cruise line that features the British Isles on their annual programme. These larger ocean-going vessels usually pamper their guests with every luxury facility imaginable such as swimming pools, fitness centres, health and beauty salons, deck sports, indoor games, casinos, film theatres and other entertainments such as lectures, shows, discos and dancing. The cuisine is any gastronome's delight, which one can enjoy in a formal setting or a more chilled out ambience.
3. On a Turkish-style gulet: For those who like to be non conformist and do things a little differently can trade a few luxuries of the cruise liners for something more bohemian, the Glen Massan may appeal. This Turkish gulet is an 85-ft traditional wooden fishing vessel, which can carry 12 passengers in six en-suite cabins on "laid-back luxury cruising" trips around the Argyll coast, Scotland and sea-lochs, normally inaccessible to larger vessels.
4. On the inland waterways: One can also cruise Britain's 3,000 mile network of navigable inland waterways by renting a self-drive narrow-boat also known as floating holiday homes no less than cocoons of comfort.
5. A land cruise by train: Be reminded of the lingering romance of the rail travel of bygone days with a seven-day Grand Tour of Great Britain run by the Orient-Express company which uses two of the most luxurious trains in Europe for a land cruise of the Isles.
