The Scottish Branch is once again arranging a Festive Cruise although in a change from previous years the Branch is chartering the M.V. Clyde Clipper rather than M.V. Cruiser. This year’s Festive Cruise is also a joint cruise with the Coastal Cruising Association. The cruise will take place on Monday 28th December leaving Greenock’s Victoria Harbour at 1030 for a cruise through the Kyles of Bute to Tighnabruaich for a short time ashore, weather permitting. Clyde Clipper will return to Greenock at 4:30 pm and there is the option of a buffet lunch onboard. M.V. Clyde Clipper is the newest member of the Clyde Marine Services fleet and has a spacious interior, a fully stocked licensed bar and open promenade deck with a passenger capacity of over 200. On departure from Greenock complementary tea/coffee and Christmas cake will be provided.

Tickets are on sale now and can be obtained by post using the postal booking form below or by emailing dshirres@blueyonder.co.uk. Tickets are priced at £25 adults for cruise only and £36 for adults including the buffet lunch. Following the success and enjoyment of the 2014 Festive cruise it is expected that this year’s will be well supported and be a sociable occasion.
