Editoral Review of The Majestic Line

Since 2004, the Majestic Line has operated cruises in Scotland revealing the hidden beauty of sheltered sea lochs. 

What Makes Them Stand Out? 

The Majestic Line aims to delight guests with breathtaking scenery, shore trips, and meals from locally-sourced ingredients.

Who Travels With Them? 

The Majestic Line accommodates solo travelers, groups, couples, and children over age 12 (except for full-boat charters with no age restrictions). 

Where Do They Operate? 

The Majestic Line explores Argyll and The Hebrides on the west coast of Scotland. 

Why Travel With Them? 

With each itinerary on The Majestic Line, stopover and anchorage options give travelers the flexibility to choose their activities. The Majestic Lines’ smaller vessels also make it possible to visit idyllic marine and wildlife habitats that larger ships may not be able to visit.

About The Majestic Line

Fleet of three boats boat wheel Polishing the bell

There are many reasons for starting a business but to save beautifully crafted wooden hulled fishing trawlers from the chainsaw must be one of the most unusual.  But that is exactly what friends Andy Thoms and Ken Grant did.  In 2004 they bought and converted their first vessel, the Glen Massan, to a mini cruise liner, sailing out of Holy Loch, near Dunoon to cruise the wonderful sheltered lochs and islands of Argyll. In May 2007 a sister vessel, The Glen Tarsan was launched .  Find out more about the boats and how the conversions took place on video

We are now building a new purpose built vessel, the Glen Etive which will be ready for the 2016 season . The new vessel is currently being built by Ardmaleish Boatbuilding Co. Ltd on the Clyde. Finished in traditional wood and brass, with spacious accommodation and a steel based hull, the new boat will undertake 10-day cruises to Islay, Skye, the Outer Hebrides and St Kilda.

The Majestic Line cruises are designed to reveal the hidden beauty of the sheltered lochs and islands of Argyll and the Hebrides, which are often undiscovered by visitors to the area, but well known to Andy and Ken, who live and sail there.

Guests on our cruises often remark that they have "left the world behind" or that "time stands still".  We get extremely positive feedback from our guests and this is mainly due to the crews on our boats, who provide an exceptional standard of hospitality.

Our main aim is to amaze and delight our guests on board. We take our guests to idyllic and scenic places, provide a range of shore trips, cook amazing meals from locally sourced ingredients and generally serve their every need in a most unobtrusive way.  We are very proud of the very positive customer feedback we get from our guests, from booking through to disembarking. Cruise Argyll and the Hebrides

There is no better way to explore Argyll and the Hebrides than the freedom and flexibility of a small-ship cruise. Soak in the scenery, wildlife, history and culture, while enjoying delicious food onboard and fascinating trips onshore. Our mini-cruise ships take you off the beaten track for a personal discovery of the West Coast of Scotland. We know the most idyllic, secret anchorages,  many of which are only accessible by our smaller vessels.
