Experience the exhilaration of riding the open waves, enjoy close encounters with wildlife and immerse yourself in marine citizen science.
Seek travel. Seek knowledge. Seek wonder.
Join us on a 4-night cruise between Mallaig to Ullapool, taking in some of the most dramatic and wild coastal scenery the Western Highlands of Scotland has to offer, not to mention the wealth of wildlife it offers from sea to shore, such as dolphins, porpoise, eagles, otters and basking sharks.
Covering over seventy per cent of the earth’s surface, our oceans and seas are home to most of life on earth. Whilst we are all familiar with some aquatic species – sharks, sperm whales, dolphins and narwhales for example - scientists know that there is much we have yet to discover.
The cool North of Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and the Faroe Islands offers a wealth of breath-taking marine experiences. From deep-sea trips in Norway to scanning for cetaceans with the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust, the ocean offers huge potential for science-based travel adventures.

Marine biology is the study of life in the oceans and brackish waters, which ranges from archaea and bacteria to marine mammals, and includes organisms such as corals that affect the shape of the seafloor. This may also include human modifications to ocean biology, such as fisheries or the effects of overfishing.

Ocean sciences span the physics, chemistry, and biology of marine systems. The field encompasses ocean circulation, energy dissipation, marine biology, ecology, biogeochemical cycles, water mass formation and movement, ocean temperature and salinity, and marine carbon and carbonate chemistry.
