Perhaps two of the most unique destinations in the UK, Orkney and Shetland are Scottish Islands to fall in love with.

The Orkney Islands are green with farmland, with areas of moorland and big fishing lochs, fringed by quiet and beautiful beaches. Orkney has the greatest concentration of archaeology in Scotland, with an average of three archaeological sites per square mile, including massive standing stones and a prehistoric village with 5,000-year-old houses.

The Shetland Islands are wilder, with breath-taking rugged scenery and a dramatic coastline. Shetland is closer to Bergen in Norway than it is to Edinburgh, so has a unique Norse heritage with an amazing Viking fire festival to see. There are also lovely beaches, historic sites, Fair Isle knitting, puffins, and Shetland Ponies!

Visitors will love the unique events, delicious food and drink, and slower pace of life that Orkney and Shetland have to offer, and getting there is easy with NorthLink Ferries.

The ferry voyage from Aberdeen sails over 200 miles from the Granite City and, on the indirect sailing, stops briefly in Orkney before continuing to Shetland. This is the longest internal ferry route in the UK. The ship departs at teatime, and passengers can book their own cabins, to wake up the next morning in Shetland’s capital, Lerwick.

Alternatively travel to Orkney’s port of Stromness from Scrabster, on the northern coast of the UK Mainland. This 90-minute journey on MV Hamnavoe is the only sailing to Orkney which passes the iconic sea stack, the Old Man of Hoy.

JULES VERNE – THE WONDERS OF EGYPT BROCHURE

Order the JULES VERNE – THE WONDERS OF EGYPT BROCHURE

Jules Verne is thrilled to unveil their brand-new brochure, The Wonders of Egypt, where they invite you to embark on a journey of discovery through ancient lands on their small group tours and cruises.

From the indomitable Pyramids, the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, to the Temples of Karnak, built across a period of 2,000 years, Egypt is a never-ending treasure trove of history and culture. Jules Verne’s trips have been designed to extract the very best of the country, from bucket list sites to rarely visited gems sought out by their team of experts. They offer Nile cruises ranging from four to 14 nights, catering to every traveller – from the first-time visitor to the Egypt expert.

Starting in Cairo, Lake Nasser & the Nile is a new 10-night trip combining a land stay in the capital with two contrasting cruises: four nights on Lake Nasser, and three nights from Aswan to Luxor on the MS Hamees. It’s the only itinerary that visits the temples of Lake Nasser by water, making it ideal for those after an alternative take on the region. Travellers will also explore renowned sites including the Pyramids of Giza, the ancient treasures of Luxor, and sail to Abu Simbel to witness a delightful sound and light show.

The Timeless Nile by Royal Steamer sails on the SS Misr. This vessel is home to just 24 cabins, providing an intimate and personalised experience with décor befitting its royal heritage and original steam engines still viewable. This exclusive new Jules Verne charter includes a visit to the ancient, rock-cut temple complex of Abu Simbel and a rare visit to Denderah, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt dedicated to the goddess Hathor.

Brilliant Canal Boat Holidays

UK Boat Hire will introduce you to one of Britain’s best kept secrets, the 2000 mile network of waterways and navigations, for which the canal boat was specially designed, that meander across some of the most beautiful countryside, and past pubs, cottages and warehouses. Here you will discover the Britain most tourists miss on their holidays.

First time boaters are given a friendly welcome by everybody on the canal. But you won’t be inexperienced for very long, for within a short time you will be gliding serenely around the first bend into a whole new and different world.

Most visitors appreciate the independence, the peace and tranquillity of ‘getting away from it all’. You can choose between the challenge of some of the densely locked stretches of canal – quite astounding feats of engineering – or choose lazy days drifting along the many stretches with very few locks. The canals and rivers go through the heart of the cities as well as through open countryside, and your boat can be a mobile base for exploring the history of our great trading routes, or for the diverse entertainment you will find in our largest city centres.

ABC BOAT HIRE

UK Boat Hire offers 16 start locations to explore the two thousand miles of tranquil waterways, threading their way through some of Britain’s most beautiful and unspoiled countryside, offering a haven for wildlife and an insight into our industrial heritage.
