We have just finished a fantastic trip of a lifetime aboard the Good Ship Tarsan . With the top crew of Captain Peter, Chief Engineer Dr.Ryan, Bosun Michael and MasterChef Steph.. we could not have wished for a more professional, customer focussed and attentive crew.

What a truly wonderful experience we enjoyed on our three night taster cruise, on the Glen Tarsen, around the inner Hebrides. The food was gorgeous, and appreciated so much, as well as the company aboard, who were all so very friendly. Thankyou to all for our fantastic memories.

I have wanted to visit St Kilda for over 50 years since reading about the incredibly difficult lives of the islanders. So to set foot there on the third day of our cruise on Glen Sheil was magical.

Mike & Elizabeth Cooper
First class in every respect. The crew were consistently friendly, efficient & attentive whether their tasks involved operating the tender, serving meals, tending bar, or many other duties. Meals were outstanding. Highlights - Wonderful scenery, compatible travel companions, efficient crew, outstanding meals, and the fulfilment of one particular Bucket List item, the opportunity to get up close & personal with puffins.

I enjoyed just relaxing with good people, the gin and tonics and the wine and the million dollar views at our lovely meals. Thanks to all on the Glen Etive and at the Majestic Line for doing a fantastic job.

From the moment we arrived- till we got off our amazing trip, everything and everybody -fantastic! The excitement from the crew when we saw whales and other wildlife was great, they were as excited as the guests! ..... Perfection. I cannot thank you all enough.

We were "the trip" that saw minke whale twice; once definitely curious about the boat and following us, plus then coming up both sides to look at us. Then the spectacular sight of a minke whale breaching, not just once but a number of times! Peter, the skipper was delighted and Marina squealed with joy which was delightful as it was such a natural reaction made special as she lives and works in the area yet also found this sight amazing.

Had a wonderful holiday with a brilliant crew Peter Marina Ryan and chef Angus made my time aboard really special how Angus produced such fantastic food even for my difficult diet was incredible then to make up a packed lunch for the journey home as our connections were so tight & to be taken across to the bus stop in the tender. Four very special people who gave me a holiday I’ll always remember.

Just back from holiday in Scotland which included a cruise on the Glen Etive, April 20 - 26 and just wanted to thank everyone for making it such a memorable voyage (including puffins, minke whale and sea eagle!). The weather was wonderful, the ship was comfortable, the scenery was spectacular, Steve, Martin, Gordon and Struan looked after us so well. Looking forward to next year's adventure!! Best wishes, Anita Mackay.

A note of thanks following our short cruise on board Glen Tarsan. It was a truly memorable few days for all of us. Of course, the fine weather was the icing on the cake, but the arrangements that you and the rest of the Head Office team made were the foundation for a wonderful cruise.

Anne Robertson
From the piper who played my request on boarding (written my my late mum's cousin, PM J Robertson back in 1915), to the high standard of the accommodation, attentive and efficient crew, fabulous cuisine, fun company and enjoyable activities ashore, the cruise was everything I hoped it would be, and more. Roll on the next one. Thank you, Majestic Line.

Marie, We would like to congratulate the Majestic Line for their success leading to a fourth boat, and especially to your Father for coming up with the original idea. We have thoroughly enjoyed our nine cruises with you and feel very privileged to have discovered so much of the Hebrides. The climax was filling a dream of visiting the magic Shiant Islands . We wish you every success in the future. John and Tina Peck

This is my third and Don's fourth time sailing with The Majestic Line and I'd like everyone in your company to know that each time has created a wonderful life memory!

Nigel Cockshott
Dear all at The Majestic Line, Just a quick line to thank you all and especially the crew of the Glen Tarsan, Robert, Claire, Ray and the very shy Gordon {only joking he is a great laugh as well as a great chef}. What a fantastic few days I enjoyed, The company was great and the catering exceptional. The weather did not matter. I had a grin on my face for a few days after departing. It was also nice to meet Andy Thoms on arrival back in Oban. All the hard work that has been put into renovating the Tarsan and Massan has paid off. The Glen Tarsan has a characterful feel. I have not stopped raving about the trip to all and sundry and have no hesitation in recommending your company. I will Definitely be booking again. Best regards to all, Nigel.

We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our three day cruise on Loch Linnhe. The accommodation was extremely comfortable, the food delicious and beautifully presented and the four member crew friendly, efficient and professional. Central to the whole experience was the wonderful windswept beauty of the every changing Scottish scenery. We would love to join you again...it was a highlight of our trip.

Lydia Verduyn
A holiday becomes fantastic when the crew, cook, singer, cleaner, lock-mate, waiter, entertainer, engineer, captain, etc. etc. have the natural ability to make you feel welcome and not because you're a client but because they like people and they like what they're doing.
16 September 2017
Paul Vanhauwere
Not only the weather made our trip unforgettable. The team, Neil, Scott, Ray and Margareta were enormously helpful, friendly and reserved. The food was also full of tasty surprises. Many other aspects I could add here. Yes, really a 10/10 we would all give. Magnificent Line gave us all to discover in an unique way beautiful Scotland. PS. Thanks for the Happy Birthday Cake

What a brilliant concept- small-ship 5 star cruising in a spectacular area! This was probably the best holiday we have ever had. We were very well looked after by a professional but friendly crew who could not do enough for us.

Amanda, We had a good trip on the Glen Tarsan and have seen some truly beautiful places and scenery. We met some really nice people and the crew were terrific, Maggs was special and her food was first class. Diets for us when we get back to Australia! Hopefully we can return one day to do a different trip, we may even get to see a puffin yet. Regards to you and Louisa and glad you liked the biscuits! Rhonda and Trevor

Breathtaking scenery with wonderfully calm inlets for our overnight stops. Superb food magically produced from a small galley. A very comfortable cabin with excellent en suite facilities, all topped off with a very attentive and hard working crew - what's not to like !

Professor Frank Land
The Crew - The four crew could not be bettered. They were considerate, helpful, above all seemed to enjoy the cruise and the interaction with the passengers. Catering - Special thanks to Michael who created miracles of good food in his tiny galley. The high standard of catering and service contributed significantly to the enjoyment of the cruise.

Hi Louisa, we had a fabulous week. The sights and wildlife were tremendous, the food was spectacular!!! What a chef Gordon is! The 11 of us had the "best of times" together on the Glen Tarsan with a terrific crew led by Robert. Thanks for all your help, along with the rest of the team in the office. You have 11 new experienced fans of Majestic Line now!! Cheers, Stuart.

I'm running out of adjectives and superlatives thinking about our cruise. The crew - superb: Captain Ian, Mr Safe Hands, immaculate in every respect; Engineer Adam, always helpful; Bosun Darin, informative and cheerful and now my Celtic/Arsenal blood brother; Chef Mike, any restaurant is going to be a let-down after his consistently amazing food. Plus a big thank you to Andy Thoms for the lift to our hotel on our arrival back at Oban. The Majestic Line, an experience like no other.

Could you please pass on our thanks (from Frank, Keryn, Pat and myself) for the wonderful trip we just had on the Glen Etive. I promised the crew that I would pass on the thank you poem that we gave on Monday night. It is written out below

Once again, we'd like to express what an incredible time we had on our July 29 - Aug 4 Majestic Line cruise. Everything was lovely, relaxing, informal, professional--in short the best! We appreciate all the niceties, including a cake to celebrate my July 29th birthday, and the stop near Kinloch Lodge on Skye, for me to visit there. We will definitely spread the word about your cruises and hope to be back for another adventure in the next few years. Thanks, Jeanne and Jim.

Please fill in ALL excellent for any question. I was TOTALLY SATISFIED. Sailing exceeded my expectations. I most likely won't travel to Scotland for another cruise. But if you ever go to the Orkneys and Shetlands, let me know. I also am happy to respond to any potential U.S. clients who have questions. Thank you for a wonderful time. I only wish your company continued success

We had such a wonderful time on the Glen Tarsan, the crew were outstanding and we were very lucky to have such a fun group of both passengers and crew. We can't wait to repeat the experience the next time we are heading in that direction and have been recommending the experience to anyone who will listen.

We both had an absolutely brilliant time on the Glen Tarsan and have been missing it ever since. Lovely boat and facilities and the crew (Neil, Ray, Maggie & Adam) were superb, nothing was too much trouble. Food was great (thanks Maggie) and so much of it. The itinerary was perfect and the wildlife a bonus. We'll definitely be back. Thank you.

This was our 3rd cruise with Majestic Line, and we would not hesitate to book again! Even though we repeated an itinerary, it felt very different from the previous one. Captain Neil made sure that not all the anchorages, and shore trips were the same, and thus provided us with completely new experiences and adventures.

Sorry this is a bit belated but I have been travelling around UK and only just home.

Our voyage to the Outer Hebrides on the Glen Etive greatly exceeded our expectations as a result of both the quality teamwork from the crew and the ability of the boat and tender to explore the beauty of place and nature. The delights of culinary excellence and individual care made our holiday totally special. Thanks to all the staff on land and sea.

My third trip with the Majestic Line, this time the first cruise of the 2017 season on the Glen Tarsan sailing from Dunoon to Oban round the Mull of Kintyre. As always a lovely crew - Neil, Adam, Ray and Mags, our wonderful onboard chef.

Two years and two cruises! I truly enjoyed so many aspects of both cruises...incredible crew, delightful companionship of other guests, mouth-watering food (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in between!), more than comfortable quarters and - of course - the beauty and serenity of the landscape. I travel frequently and feel a yearly majestic line cruise will always be on my itinerary. Already looking forward to 2018.

I was expecting a great holiday from what I learned on your website but the reality was even better. I will certainly continue to recommend your cruises and think that I have already convinced 2, and possibly 3 groups of people that this is a "must have" holiday.

Ann Seed
The Glen Massan is the perfect quirky friend for six magical days at sea - six days which bombard you gently with experience after experience of breathless scenery, gourmet delights, fun, adventure and relaxation. A small cruise boat she may be, but this earthy little vessel sails head and shoulders in every way above any big cruise ship I have ever been on and she is crewed by the most amazing and amiable team afloat.
8 October 2016
John Miller and Annette McGarill
Spent a delightful 6 days on the MV Glen Massan from the 8th to 14th October. For the duration, the notoriously fickle Scottish weather decided that it was time for the sun to shine, the rain to stop and the wind to cease to blow. Seriously, I'm not making this up! With the elements in our favour, the omens were good, and so it proved, as our mini cruise was, in turn, relaxing and exciting.
24 September 2016
Peter Byng
The crew was excellent and attentive throughout, led by skipper Neil. I cannot fault the meals (well, I can, but only because Gordon, the chef, seemed to over-estimate the capacity of my stomach!), nor the care taken to ensure our safety and comfort throughout.
24 September 2016
Mick and Wendy Noble
If anyone wants to know what the holiday of a lifetime feels like they should sign up for a Majestic Line cruise. We came away rejuvenated, relaxed and refreshed by this joyous experience. David, Michelle, Steve and Mike were exceptional hosts, and the food was outstanding. We will undoubtedly return.
23 September 2016
Martin & Linda McAvenna
We thoroughly enjoyed our Majestic 6 day cruise on the MV Glen Tarsan from 23 - 30 September. Passenger service is very well delivered by the personable and professional crew. On our voyage we were hosted by Captain Ian, Steward Darren, Chef Extraordinaire Maggie, and Engineer Adam. The captain begins each day at breakfast with a discussion about weather conditions, cruising expectations for the day, and choice of harbour shelter. As conditions vary during the day, passengers are always kept fully informed. All 4 crew host the meals, and the dining experience is an absolute highlight.
17 September 2016
Richard and Rubyjean Gould
Just when we think that our last Majestic Cruise cannot be surpassed, we embark on our next cruise to find that the scenery, cuisine and camaraderie exceed our expectations. Michael’s magical galley and Martin’s expertise in providing the best views and experience while identifying the wildlife produce the utmost in travel adventure. Keep expanding your itineraries and we will keep participating.

Rod McCallum
In all my years of travel and working in many different countries, never have I experienced such a memorable level of happy, smiling service as that provided by this 'crew'. They are sensitive to their guests expectations, fully engaging in providing "hospitality", with a capital "H". And, there are not enough accolades to describe the quality and presentation of Michael's meals - he is a chef extra-ordinnaire, creating superb meals from the freshest available local produce!

I am writing to let you know what a fantastic holiday I had last week aboard the Glen Tarsan for the Southern Isles cruise. One would suppose that being lucky with the weather, the most wonderful scenery imaginable and a good mix of friendly passengers would be enough. However, the whole holiday was made by the four crew who did everything possible to make this a memorable holiday
13 August 2016
Bob Callaway
My first ever cruise and what a joy! Great scenery, food and guests. After 25 hours of travel to Oban, I was ready for rest and relaxation. The stopping points were gorgeous and the opportunity to take walks at the stops helped minimize the impact of Chef Gordon's marvelous cooking. The four crew were organized, helpful and fun. The meal time conversations were enjoyable and enlightening. I hope to come back for a longer trip. Bob, Salem OR USA

Our 6 night cruise with our party of 10 on the Glen Massan exceeded expectations in every way. We all had a wonderful time and our crew consisting of Martin, Michael, Robert and Andy were extremely helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The meals Chef Michael prepared in such a small space were truly memorable. We are already planning our next trip. Our thanks also to Ali for all the pre cruise organisation and information.

Jean-Marie Carroll
We had an absolutely wonderful time on the cruise. It was pure magic! The crew (Captain Martin, Engineer Andy, Chef Michael and Bosun Robert) all went above and beyond to make sure that the entire cruise was beyond compare. The scenery was ildyllic, the ports stops were fabulous, the cruise staff was wonderful, the other passengers were delightful, and the food was delicious! Thank you to all The Majestic Line staff - from those we met and those that "worked behind the scenes" - for creating a truly amazing holiday.

Thank you for a holiday of a lifetime. Visiting St Kilda and The Shiants was a dream come true . The Glen Tarsan was very comfortable and surprisingly spacious . Our crew were totally amazing - Ian (captain) Andy (engineer), Darin ( bosun) and Mags (our chef); their camaraderie, teamwork, knowledge and most of all their sense of humour were outstanding
11 June 2016
Derek and Sue Prescott
Visits to Taransay, The Shiants and of course, St.Kilda were the highlights. We enjoyed some spectacular scenery and had an excellent day excursion on Lewis visiting the Gearrannach Black House village, the Callanish Standing Stones and the Isle of Great Bernera. We enjoyed not only the best of care and attention by the crew but also the finest of dining experiences.

Robert & Sheila McCulloch
A great big thank you to the staff at Majestic Line office for their kindness and help prior to boarding the Glen Tarsan in Oban. We would both express our thanks to Neil (skipper), Ray, Claire and Gordon for making our cruise a wonderful experience. We visited great places, saw amazing views, had marvellous food and hospitality with a great group of fellow passengers. The weather was an added bonus to a fantastic week. We will certainly be back for another cruise.
4 June 2016
Simon and Janette Shearer
The cruise was as close to perfect as could be. This was helped by the excellent weather with hardly a drop of rain or breath of wind, but everything else that was good was down to the crew and other Majestic Line staff, our fellow guests and the Glen Tarsan. The food is just as good as they claim. We really didn't want the cruise to end and we will be back.
4 June 2016
Jill Goldthwait
Please pass to Michelle my sincere thanks for helping me procure a Majestic Line fleece for my husband. Also to Mike for getting it discreetly out to the boat as we prepared to disembark. I could not wait for his July birthday, had to give it to him for Father's Day (last Sunday). He was completely surprised and delighted to have this reminder of our recent trip on the Glen Etive. As always, your crew outperformed. It was the most wonderful vacation, and we owe much of it to David, Michelle, Mike and Stevie. All the best, Jill.

Trevor Wigham and Cathy Milne
This was our second trip with Majestic Lines and our only concern was whether it could possibly be as good as the first one three years ago. We needn't have worried; it was even better. The weather was perfect, allowing a full voyage round the Isle of Skye and providing us with memorable views and experiences. The fellow passengers were great, with much laughter and pleasant conversation during the voyage. The food, provided by chef Gordon was sublime, so inventive and delicious. Ray and Claire took wonderful care of us, and could not have been more friendly and helpful, and the Captain, Neil, was excellent. We are already thinking of a third voyage sometime in the future.
4 June 2016
Margaret Spicer
Because of the good weather we were able to cruise around the entire Isle of Skye. Skipper Neil achieved a very good balance of what he needed to decide and asking our opinion about where we would like to go and what we would enjoy. I enjoyed being able to relax in the upholstered chairs, at the dining table or on deck. Watching our progress in real time on the monitor was fun, and having the option to further explore our travels with maps and books was a bonus
28 May 2016
Carol & Bill Wiseman
What a stunning experience - we were very lucky to have weather that made it seem more like the Greek Islands than Scotland. But most memorable is the attentiveness and efficiency of the splendid crew (thanks, Skipper Iain, Bosun Darren, Engineer Andy, and Chef Maggie), who were tireless in their multi-tasking work, ensuring that we all felt like royalty. It was without doubt the best holiday we have had, and we are highly recommending this experience to all our friends. Thank you so very much.

Jane Radford
Felt a real sense of excitement on boarding the Glen Massan for my first ever cruise and the 6 night holiday far exceeded my expectations. Skipper Martin and his crew, Robert, Andy and Chef Michael, worked seemingly effortlessly to provide a most memorable experience for us all and we all enjoyed each other's company despite extremes of weather. Huge thanks to all! Jane, Berkeley, Gloucestershire

My husband and myself were lucky enough to be invited on a 3 night private charter cruise on The Glen Tarsan by my brother and his wife to celebrate their Ruby Wedding Anniversary. We can honestly say that it was a trip of a lifetime. Nothing was too much trouble for our crew, the food was to die for, as were the views. My husband was slightly nervous regarding being on the water and making transfers on the little tender, but we always felt very safe and looked after.
18 January 2016

My wife Barbara, our son Jack, grandson Nicholas and two good friends chartered the Glen Massan for a memorable week of cruising Mull and surrounding isles. Captain Martin, Chef Steve, Engineer Steve and Bosun Hazel made it an experience we will all cherish for a lifetime.

Michael & Margaret Mahon
We wanted to pass on to The Majestic Line how much we enjoyed our recent trip on the Glen Tarsan. It was amazing. We have dreamed of this for four years. Please let Marie know it was a dream come true and then some. We did have the most amazing weather, but we also had a star crew in David, Michelle, Darren and Michael , plus the chemistry that went to having a mixture of guests who 'jelled' from the first afternoon.

Hebridean Island Diary and Memories: Our fondness for the Islands, fuelled by the adventure of an unscheduled itinerary, and the unexpected, brought us to Oban again on 5th September. After a short pub lunch, we were collected by Scott, our captain, and Ray, the engineer, and taken by tender on a calm and warm afternoon to board our home for the next six days.

6 nights on Glen Tarsan were amazing! The crew were exceptional and nothing too much trouble. Meals were out of this world! Those cheeses.....!

The Majestic Line short cruises are excellent in every way. Small motor vessel (Glen Massan) carrying 11 passengers, ours had 10 passengers this trip. En suite cabins; three cooked meals a day by a Michelin trained chief, with coffee at 11:00 and high tea at 15:30. If you are not careful, it could be death by eating, but very enjoyable.

I am just coming down to earth after the amazing experience of a cruise on the Glen Massan. The food produced by our chef Andie was exceptional and the friendly crew: skipper Martin, engineer Steven and bosun Hazel, could not do enough for us. Thank you to all at the Majestic Line for these truly memorable few days. I hope to return some time in the future.

Having sailed with Majestic for the first time two years ago, we were a touch apprehensive accepting a second booking this year, in case this cruise would not be as good as our first. We had absolutely no need to worry, as this time was even better and honestly – our best holiday ever. We are both in our 60s, so that is going-some!
Our fellow passengers were a really interesting, mixed bunch from Australasia and various parts of the UK – so we all had some really interesting and frequently excruciatingly funny experiences and stories to share. Sometimes, we laughed until we ached!

We had a great time on The Glen Massan. The food was quality, fresh and varied. The boat is so well converted, comfortable and well-appointed.

Hello Marie, following our very enjoyable cruise, we wanted to express our thanks to you personally for the professional and friendly help which you provided.
It certainly made our reservation procedure go very smoothly and you always answered our queries promptly and concisely.
Although Martin, our skipper, had to modify our route to take account of the prevailing wind and sea conditions, we still managed to see many places which, as first time visitors to Scotland, were very spectacular and impressive to us.

It was a 'breeze' in more ways than one for our Mull inlets and Islands Cruise. The weather was decidedly 'iffy' but every other aspect was brilliant.The crew gave us a warm welcome at Oban and our fellow passengers quickly gelled into the ' Laughing Gang' from America, Australia and U.K.

Just a short note to tell you how much I enjoyed the recent Inlets of Mull cruise on the Glen Tarsan. We did have the benefit of two days of wonderful weather but the main feature of the cruise was the exemplary team work of David, Michelle, Michael and Gavin. They added a lot to my enjoyment of the trip and I believe that this was a view shared by all of the passengers.
I hope to return for another cruise in the future, but in the meantime I will certainly be recommending your cruises to my friends.

To MARIE and her TEAM; a quickie to say how much I enjoyed the 3 day cruise on the Glen Tarsan. Absolutely superb in every way, fellow passengers great fun and we all mixed in well. Special mention to the CREW who did everything and more to make this little voyage so memorable, the scenery was outstanding and the weather behaved impeccably. Hopefully I will be able to return for more!!!

Hello Marie,
Just a line to say how much I enjoyed my holiday on MV Glen Massan. The welcome as warm as it gets. Your crew worked tirelessly to look after your guests and the food was all The Majestic Line promised. Best wishes, Kenneth Cochrane

Although the meals were fabulous and we were lucky to have like minded passengers for our cruise, we were so disappointed that the weather was so influential in spoiling what should have been a great experience.
We were on the Around Mull Wildlife cruise where most of the highlights are on the western side of Mull. We were told that due to weather conditions we would definitely not be venturing away from the eastern side of Mull. Therefore we did not go to Iona, Lunga, Ulva and Gometra, Fingals Cave on Staffa etc which are highlighted in the brochures and information. The guests unanimously wished to at least attempt to venture west, but this wasn't considered.
Unfortunately we felt we had a timid skipper and there was no Plan B initially to compensate. Interested future passengers should understand that the weather and crew can make or break this cruise.

The Majestic Line exceeded our expectations in every way. From the front office to our fabulous crew and vessel, the trip was one of lifetime, making many wonderful memories for our family and friends. Thank you!

What a fantastic experience starting immediately we booked. We cannot praise highly enough the welcome from all the crew, their kindness, hospitality and professionalism. We visited stunning locations, saw wonderful scenery and wildlife and had lovely trips ashore.

Last month we took our third holiday with the Majestic Line, which speaks volumes in itself! With the combination of breathtaking scenery, exciting wild life and of course incredible food...who could ask for more?

I had the pleasure of three days on the Glen Tarsan in mid-September. Every aspect of the trip exceeded my expectations. We were so warmly welcomed on board with champagne and a canape and that set the tone for the entire trip. The crew were simply the best!

Two months have passed since we said good bye to the crew of the Glen Tarsan after spending 6 days ( 4 very wet ones!) in their company ( Iain, Gavin, Mike & Steven). Despite the rain, we had a fantastic time on board & off shore and the memories that.

We didn't think our 2013 cruise with Majestic could be topped...we were wrong, as 2014 was even better!! Each day was an adventure.

My husband and I were one of the fortunate couples to travel with The Majestic Line out of Oban, Sept. 6th. The 6 day tour on the Glen Tarsan, touring around Mull was fantastic! The magnificent scenery, the ambience, the shore trips, the FOOD, our fellow travellers and the crew were extraordinary!!!

Just to say what a wonderful week it was! The weather was good, no wet-weather clothes needed at all, and the crew and food were quite superb. The other passengers were lovely. The whole experience was unforgettable, thank you so much.

I have just come off a cruise on Glen Massan and would like to tell you how much I enjoyed it.
The skipper and crew were excellent. A real team with a delightful sense of humour and to whom nothing seemed to be too much trouble. It would be invidious to name names but the magic wrought in that tiny galley by Andie was outstanding. It would have been good in an expensive restaurant on land but whilst being bounced about on a choppy sea was real skill.

We have had the most wonderful trip from Oban sailing round Skye. The weather was amazing, the food amazing and the crew were the very best. We have all had such a good time. Thank you for the kind gift of our inscribed glass. I hope to use it often. Thank you for all the organising. I hope to do another trip one day.

Well, over from the Atlantic, looking back on our week we are all wondering how to describe our boat days to others - they won't believe it. We had a wonderful crew, and felt spoiled by the attention to our wishes and needs. We always felt safe, also spoiled by the food. All of our group are very much foodies and we were amazed at every meal.

Two months have passed since we said good bye to the crew of the Glen Tarsan after spending 6 days ( 4 very wet ones!) in their company ( Iain, Gavin, Mike & Steven). Despite the rain, we had a fantastic time on board & off shore and the memories that we now have will be our cure for " the post boat depression" that is a bit inevitable after such an intense moment of joy & pleasure. All the very best to all the team.

I have just returned from the trip to the Isle of Skye on "Glen Tarsan". I had an absolutely fabulous trip. My very sincere thanks to all the crew, Iain the Skipper, Gavin, Mike and Steven.
Iain planned a super itinerary and Mike's food was amazing. The weather was gorgeous of course and all the crew did everything possible to enable me to have the superb experience.

WOW!!!! What a holiday! Thank you so much, we enjoyed every minute from the time the tender picked us up in Oban until the sad time when it dropped us off again in Oban. I can't think of anything that didn't come beyond our expectations. The boat was very well fitted out with enough space in the cabins for us and our luggage and plenty of public space so we didn't feel crowded. The crew were helpful and knowledgeable and our route was planned with variety. The food - I am lost for words.

Having travelled up to Oban from Norfolk, I was eagerly awaiting my second cruise with The Majestic Line. I met up with Ray and Carole Herbert, who I had met on my first cruise in 2013, and we had agreed to stay at the same B&B in Oban. There we met Tom, an elderly gentleman who was a veteran of Majestic Line cruises. He would be on the same cruise as ourselves. In the evening we ate at EE Usk, a highly rated local fish food restaurant on the quayside, and could see the Glen Tarsan and Massan at anchor.

The most enjoyable holiday we have ever had! We have been to far-flung and exotic places not knowing how beautiful and how rich in wildlife our own british shores are. We had a wonderful time, the crew were great- nothing was too much trouble for them.The food was fantastic and of top class restaurant quality. The ship was well run and organised with a flexible approach to giving us the best possible experience from our cruise whilst keeping us all safe and comfy ( weather and seas can be unpredictable in the area)We met some lovely interesting and friendly people who we would now count as friends. I can't wait to do the next one. We want to spend more time with Iain Duncan the most knowledgable and helpful of Captains and to have more of this wonderful experience. THANK YOU TO YOU ALL AT MAJESTIC LINE IT WAS AMAZING.

I just wanted to tell you that the Wildlife Cruise around Mull on Glen Tarsan from Saturday 21st to Friday 27th June surpassed all our expectations! We had a truly amazing experience, which has enriched us both and made us hungry for more. First, we need stronger binoculars!

We have just returned from a three night cruise on the Glen Tarson. A totally unique experience. Our fellow passengers were good company and the scenery spectacular. Thank you to the crew - Iain, Gavin, Steven and Mike - who worked hard to ensure we all enjoyed the cruise. A special thanks to Mike for preparing such delicious food. It has been an outstanding holiday - many thanks.

Finally home to Nova Scotia and thinking of planning our next trip. We wish it to be somewhere that the Glen Massan cruises with Captain Martin and his very excellent crew! Thank you all in the office and on the boat for providing the most incredible, enjoyable holiday that we've ever had.

Hi Marie, we are back in Sydney after our cruise and family visits to UK and Ireland. Whilst it was nice to see our family again, we really loved the time we had on our own in our two nights in Oban and on the cruise on the beautiful Glen Massan. We both thought the cruise was superb.

We have just returned from a magical and unique experience, thanks to yourselves. We sailed on the Glen Tarsan with the Chittenden Party – Jenny being my sister – with the Puffin Crew on a wonderful three night cruise.Your service has been faultless, from start to finish, from boat, to crew, to office
Because of the good weather we were able to cruise around the entire Isle of Skye. Skipper Neil achieved a very good balance of what he needed to decide and asking our opinion about where we would like to go and what we would enjoy. I enjoyed being able to relax in the upholstered chairs, at the dining table or on deck. Watching our progress in real time on the monitor was fun, and having the option to further explore our travels with maps and books was a bonus
