Taste of Argyll: A Cruise with a Culinary Twist

The Majestic Line are launching a new cruise called Taste of Argyll.

On Saturday 17th October 2009, The Majestic Line is launching a new cruise called ‘The Taste of Argyll’. Over a total of six nights, the Glen Tarsan will cruise around the Kyles of Bute, Loch Fyne and Arran stopping at a variety of premier food and drink producers each day.

Award winning cheeses, chutneys, jams, pickles, whisky, herbs, fine ales, seafood, chocolate and even lavender marmalades are all on the itinerary.

Guests will be dropped off in various locations to meet the owners, take a guided tour or talk, and of course enjoy samplings of all the goods on offer! There is also a wine tasting and whisky tasting organised onboard with one of Argyll’s leading vintners.

Imagine spectacular sea lochs with unspoiled glens, mountains and forests as the backdrop for the delicious locally-sourced organic meals cooked by the onboard chef every day. This area is rich in wildlife and dotted with small fishing communities and castles. The islands of Arran, Bute and Cumbrae have beautiful coastlines of sandy bays, scattered with picturesque villages and historic buildings.

The Majestic Line is looking forward to collaborating with all these fantastic producers to highlight South Argyll as one of our hidden gems in the gastronomic world.
