From 2008 the beautiful Spirit of Adventure will be the new home of the National Trust for Scotland's annual cruises around the Scottish Islands and hidden corners of Europe.

Cabins – There are a variety of inside and outside cabins to choose from. Cabins are graded depending on their size and location on the ship, with the suites and superior grades of cabin benefiting from a butler service. All cabins are air-conditioned and have private shower and wc. The cabins are all equipped with television, DVD player, refrigerator, telephone, binoculars, hairdryer, bathrobe and complimentary Temple Spa toiletries. All cabins offer the convenience and comfort of fixed beds. All outside cabins have a double window or porthole, letting the light flood in and allowing you to enjoy the passing scenery while you are in your cabin. Inside cabins are bright and well-lit, offering comfort and value for money.

Lounges – The Yacht Club is the place to relax after a busy day ashore as you watch the scenery pass by. The intimate ambience is also perfect for some of the smaller recitals. The Sirocco lounge is where our pre-dinner lectures and after-dinner entertainment will take place.

Dining – Meals are served in a single sitting with no fixed seating plans, so you can dine with new friends every night at a time to suit you. Choose between the informal, yet elegant Verandah restaurant, with the option to dine al fresco if the weather permits, or be looked after with waiter service in the formal Dining Room. The ship’s experienced chefs prepare delicious high-quality cuisine, often using local ingredients.

Library – A real focal point is the spacious library with over 3,000 books, internet access and quiet and comfortable surroundings. There are also DVDs and audio books to borrow, which you can watch or listen to in your cabin.

Other facilities – The spacious deck areas will allow us to enjoy the views as we approach ports and sail round small islands. The ship’s leisure facilities include an outdoor and an indoor swimming pool, both of which are heated. There is also a sauna and fitness equipment available, as well as a range of spa treatments. There is an onboard hairdresser, gift shop and self-service laundry.
