Loch Katrine

Picture the scene – tranquil loch cruise, gorgeous autumn or early winter scenery and a soft breeze wafting your hair. And of course, your favourite person beside you.

Then afterwards, a cosy lochside dinner of fish and chips or mac and cheese to tuck into.

This Big Deal on a Loch Katrine cruise offers all of the above and more. Basically, it’s the best bits of Scotland wrapped up in a big shiny tartan bow…

Loch Katrine cruise

This scenic Big Deal offers one or two people the chance to cruise across Loch Katrine. You will have a choice of either the legendary 119-year-old Sir Walter Scott steamship or the more modern Lady of the Lake cruiser.

Leaving from Trossachs Pier, you can enjoy a tasty meal in a lochside cafe either before or after your adventure. The meal includes either a fish supper, macaroni cheese or cheese quiche served with coffee or tea and bread and butter.

This offer is available seven days until the end of December, which a choice of various times. Cruises take one or two hours.

Gorgeous Trossachs scenery

On this awe-inspiring sailing, you will glide past stunning Trossachs landmarks such as Ben A’an, Ben Venue and Brenachoile.

Both ships have heated saloon bars, where you can enjoy a drink and hear about the legends of the loch from the knowledgeable crew.

Or you could head up onto the decks and drink in that exhilarating autumn/early winter scenery…

Happy cruisers

This TripAdvisor reviewer adored their Loch Katrine cruise on the Sir Walter Scott:

‘Smooth sailing. A lovely way to tour the loch. The steamer is historic, but also remarkably quiet. The old steam engine still provides efficient power to the single propellor, with fast acceleration and near silent running. You’d think it was an electric boat. The views from the boat are lovely; actually better than I expected. There are a few seats at the bow. We sat in these and it was very pleasant on a warm day. All outdoor seating could get chilly on a cool day, so dress in layers.’

See Scotland in autumn

Seriously, it’s the best season — the summer tourist crowds are gone, but it’s still mild enough to enjoy the great outdoors. And of course, the autumn foliage at Loch Katrine is stunning.

Or you could opt to take the trip in December when the frost begins to shimmer on the water and sprinkle the mountains like fairy dust.

So why not whisk your other half off on a romantic day out with this Big Deal on a loch cruise and meal? You can cosy up together in the saloon bar, toast each other with a G&T and enjoy the incredible view. Bliss…
