Scottish maritime celebrations

Don't miss the chance to see some of the world's most beautiful sailing ships as Greenock hosts part of the 2011 Tall Ships' Races. The graceful lines, huge masts and miles of rigging bedecked with bunting make this a magnificent spectacle. Witness the 'Parade of Sail' and enjoy the carnival atmosphere as the port's waterfront is transformed with maritime celebrations.

Day One

We leave the local area this morning, stopping en route for the chance to have lunch (payable locally), before arriving at our hotel in time to unpack and relax before dinner is served.

Day Two

Spend a fascinating day at Greenock as the town celebrates its maritime past. Enjoy the music, dancing, street theatre and craft fair, soak up the festival atmosphere in one of the many bars or eateries, and find out what life is like on-board with a visit to the magnificent Tall Ships themselves. A stunning fireworks display brings to the day to an end before we return to the hotel.

Day Three

Today we return to Greenock for the final celebrations and to watch the famous 'Parade of Sail'. Have your cameras at the ready as the whole fleet, in glorious full sail, leaves port. We'll then bid Greenock farewell and make our way back to the local area, arriving in the evening.
