MV Chalice - Scottish Wilderness
Breaks. The MV Chalice is one of the finest cruise ships operating
around the Western Isles. From May to October we offer a series of fascinating
wildlife cruises of from 4-9 nights, each in the company of an experienced
guide. St Kilda, the inner and outer isles, Mull and Jura all feature in our 9
night premier selection. We also offer spring cruises at the height of the
nesting season and late summer and early autumn cruises to view the wildlife of
the inner isles. Our short cruises provide the ideal introduction for those
wanting to try out their sea-legs for the first time. Chalice can accommodate
up to 12 guests in 6 double cabins and is staffed by a crew of up to 5. All
cruises depart from and return to Oban and all meals, including lunch on the
last day, are included. We welcome singles, couples and small groups. We also
welcome corporate groups and are happy to discuss private charters. For
bookings and further information complete our online form and we'll get back to
you, or contact Hannah in our office on +44 (0)1631 740595.
