Invergordon Cruise Excursion

Our British Isles cruise is a 12-day Princess Cruises experience that bounces along the coastlines stopping in Invergordon just before Edinburgh.  The most famous attraction is Loch Ness but there is probably no need to have your telephoto lens ready for the sea monster to appear -- or will you be the lucky one?  The WOW Invergordon has an excellent itinerary that adjusted based on our cruise times.  Key highlights include:

Invergordon Port Area

Cawdor Castle

Inverness

Loch Ness

Scenic Highlands Drive

Clava Cairns

Culloden Battlefield

Highland Cows

Cawdor Castle

If you are going to Scotland chances are that you are going to see a castle as part of some tour.  At this port of call, you have the opportunity to see Cawdor Castle, a 14th Century fortress.  The castle itself changed over time and is still owned by the Cawdor family.

Summer is a great time of the year to visit the castle so that you can explore the beautiful gardens.  The castle has three gardens to enjoy: Walled, Flower and Wild. 

The castle is generally open for visitors from mid-April to the end of September.  Tickets are approximetly 14£ per adult with a family package for 35£.
