Golf Cruise Shore Excursions
Doug Mathieson
Introduction:
The cruise business is currently experiencing an extraordinary growth period after years in the doldrums, when during COVID 19 the majority of cruise ships were mothballed, and unable to operate.
However, the bounce back has been immediate and recent years have been some of the best on record and with good reason. What better way to see the world with top class accommodation, food and service on most cruise lines coming as standard.
The round Britain Cruise itinerary has become a firm favourite and is now featured by most major cruise lines including P & O Cruises, Fred Olsen Lines, Princess Cruises, Regent Seven Seas and Silversea to mention just a few. The majority will have port days in the itinerary in Edinburgh Glasgow and Aberdeen.
While life aboard these floating hotels is wonderful, keen golfers visiting Scotland, the acknowledged Home of Golf, will feel they have missed out on a great opportunity to experience golf on the links where it has been played for more than 400 years. Our golf cruise excursions in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen are the answer and so easy to organise. Play private clubs, some of which are amongst the oldest links anywhere in the world.

1) Contact us with your date in port, ship name, cruise port and timings of disembarkation and embarkation. Ideally you will need a minimum of 9 hours in port.
2) We will reply promptly with suggested courses to play with suitable tee times available, prices and information on what’s included.
3) Once you have decided on the course, we will ask you for the club types you require (right/left hand, ladies, men’s, shaft type – senior, regular, stiff) and a contact cell number.
4) Transport is typically in 6-seater V Class Mercedes, and you will be met on the quayside by your uniformed driver.
5) Everything you will need for your golf cruise excursion is included (except golf shoes and glove): so club hire, a sleeve of balls , manual trolley and where available a token to warm up on the practice range is even included.
6) Your confirmation will be sent for payment online by any major credit or debit card and a detailed itinerary sent 4 weeks prior to your date of play.
