Bespoke Invergordon Cruise Ship Tours & Private Shore Excursions

Step off your ship and straight into a spectacular Highland adventure.

Welcome to the Port of Invergordon, the gateway to the Scottish Highlands! Make the most of your precious time ashore with an exclusive, luxury private shore excursion from Highland Private Journey.

Leave the crowded, rigid cruise line coach tours behind. Our bespoke Invergordon cruise ship tours offer you VIP pier-side pickup, a premium luxury vehicle, and a dedicated local guide. Whether you want to hunt for the Loch Ness Monster, explore ancient castles, trace your Scottish ancestry, or sample world-class single malt whisky, we craft the perfect itinerary tailored exclusively to your interests and your ship’s schedule.

Design Your Perfect Highland Shore Excursion

Because this is your private journey, you dictate the pace and the destinations. Choose from some of the most iconic Highland experiences, easily accessible from the Port of Invergordon:

  • Loch Ness & Urquhart Castle: Journey to the world’s most famous loch. Explore the dramatic, romantic ruins of Urquhart Castle perched right on the water’s edge, and keep an eye out for the elusive Nessie!
  • Dunrobin Castle & Falconry: Step into a fairytale at Scotland’s most northerly great house. Marvel at its French château-style architecture, stroll through stunning formal gardens, and witness spectacular live falconry displays.
  • Culloden Battlefield & Clava Cairns (The Outlander Experience): Walk the haunting moorland of Culloden, the site of the final Jacobite rising. Then, step back 4,000 years in time at the mystical standing stones of Clava Cairns—the inspiration for Outlander’s Craigh na Dun.
  • Highland Whisky Tasting: The Highlands are synonymous with “uisge beatha” (the water of life). Enjoy an exclusive tasting or tour at legendary local distilleries such as Glenmorangie or The Dalmore, both located just a short drive from the port.
  • Inverness – The Capital of the Highlands: Stroll along the River Ness, visit Inverness Castle, or do some luxury Scottish shopping in the vibrant city center.
