Your adventure begins with a visit to the Kelpies, the largest equine statues in the world, where you can marvel at these towering steel sculptures set against the Scottish countryside.
Next, you’ll journey to the engineering wonder of the Falkirk Wheel, the world’s first and only rotating boat lift. Towering at 115 feet, this modern marvel connects two major canals and offers a glimpse into Scotland’s innovative spirit while providing unforgettable photo opportunities.
The tour continues into Glasgow, where your first stop is the magnificent Glasgow Cathedral. Dating back to the 1100s, this is Scotland’s most complete medieval cathedral, having survived the Reformation nearly untouched.

Your journey through Glasgow takes you past vibrant city murals to the West End, where you’ll see the grand Gilbert Scott building at Glasgow University, the beautiful Kelvingrove Art Gallery housing fascinating collections and a WWII Spitfire, and, time permitting, the award-winning Transport Museum and Glenlee Tall Ship before returning to your ship.
