Small luxury cruise line, Hebridean Island Cruises, has teamed up with the iconic Royal Scotsman Train for the first time to offer guests the ultimate tour of Scotland.

New for 2013, the choice of three or four night pre-cruise packages on board The Royal Scotsman takes guests deep into the heart of the Highlands and offers the chance to discover famous sights and landscapes. The pre-cruise rail journeys all end with a chauffeur service to Oban for a one night dinner, bed and breakfast at the five star Isle of Eriska Hotel before guests board the Hebridean Princess at the start of their cruise.
