Joining Splendour is good for the soul!
Chinese researchers have just confirmed what we always knew – cruising is GOOD for you…
The scientists from the University of China recently published study shows people who choose to cruise experience a boost to their heart, mind and IQ, with benefits, which last for six months after their holiday. With around 25 million people across the globe opting to spend their precious holidays on the water, it’s easy to see why so many guests return to Splendour year after year – escaping the mass crowds and cruise in select company with up to eight guests only, ensuring your own personal experience. Many of our returning guests book with fellow passengers from their first cruise. We love that being aboard Splendour is creating new friendships across the world.
Of course, we expect our holidays to leave us feeling good, but cruises have specific benefits, which are attributed to visiting multiple destinations. The emotional feel-good factor, which we feel when we travel is enhanced thanks to our experience of meeting new people and broadening our minds. Cruising through Argyll we aim to go ashore twice per day visiting historical sites, fabulous castles, close encounters with wildlife and scenic walks from gentle strolls to conquering your first Munro!

Its hard to find the words… The boat, the sea, the skipper and cook, the food – all worked perfectly for me (alone). Iain even laid on a day’s storm / magnificent seas, the boat (and skipper) coping superbly / and then for the other passengers (a convivial and learned ornithologist from USA) relatively calm seas and, as they say ‘a prosperous voyage’. Well done Iain and Michael.

The most fantastic time. Iain and chef are absolute stars! Beautiful scenery, great wildlife, the tastiest food and all in all a wondrous week!

The perfect way to end the first leg of our honeymoon! We loved it! Skipper Iain and Chef Steve have been superb – tough we’ll curse having met Steve as we no longer have an excuse for serving-up less than perfect dishes in our small kitchen! The short cruise around these beautiful islands has been a delight – as has the company. Thank you to crew and guests – you’ve helped make the start of our married lives together so memorable! We hope to be back!!

Another fabulous cruise – achieved our dream of going to St Kilda and the Hebrides. Everything was perfect as always, even the weather! A big thank you!
