A cruise on the Caledonian Canal will give you a taste of the true Highlands. See the sights at Loch Oich and visit the huge Great Glen Water Park, complete with watersports. You can learn as much as you can about life in the Highlands at the Clansman Centre in Fort Augustus, one of the most picturesque villages on this cruise.

You can catch a glimpse of the Loch Ness Monster and visit Drumnadrochit, a centre with monster-related activities and a great base for pony rides. You'll visit Urquhart Castle, perched at the end of Loch Ness, and enjoy time spent in Inverness, Britain's youngest city. On the way back, you'll meet the town of Gairlochy in the shadow of Ben Nevis. On Neptune's Staircase in Banavie you'll catch a glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean. Then you can visit the town of Fort William.
