THE CELTIC RING - Oban - Campletown - Oban

We sail in the footsteps of the famous sailing novel ‘The Celtic Ring’. The starting point of our journey is Oban on the west coast of Scotland. A cosy little town with lots of flair and beautiful scenery. From here, we follow the route of the novel and experience the breathtaking nature of Scotland up close. The destination of our sailing trip will once again be the picturesque town of Oban. This is the gateway to the Great Glen and the Scottish Highlands, which you can easily recognise from the fascinatingly beautiful and lush green hilly landscapes. Book your berth or cabin now and experience this extraordinary adventure on our exclusively equipped expedition yacht POLARIS.

Expected course of the trip:

We sail with the POLARIS from Oban in a south-westerly direction. You will experience Scottish nature and way of life up close on numerous stopovers in the midst of a landscape steeped in history. Highlights of the journey will include the Mull of Kintyre and the unspoilt tidal streams around the Corry Vreckan. With Oban, we finally reach the metropolis of the west once again. From here, you will travel by bus or train to Glasgow or Edinburgh, from where you can take a comfortable flight home. Depending on the weather and the schedule, it may be necessary to cover longer sections of the journey under engine power. Total distance: approx. 200 nautical miles.

This extraordinary trip is led by professional sailor Uwe Heißel.

Information on arrival and departure:

To travel to/from Oban, take the bus or train to/from Glasgow or Edinburgh, as only island flights are available from Oban. However, the transfer to the two major Scottish cities is completely hassle-free. From Edinburgh or Glasgow you can then book flights to Frankfurt, Amsterdam or London Heathrow. Of course, this also applies to your inbound journey. In this respect, we recommend the usual booking portals for your research. Sometimes it also makes sense to search for flights directly on the websites of the relevant airlines to obtain additional allotments or a cheaper price.
