Excursions from Greenock (Glasgow)

Greenock Ocean Terminal is Scotland’s busiest cruise port, welcoming over 145,000 passengers annually across more than 75 ship calls. Although cruise ships list Glasgow as the port of call, they dock at Greenock — and from there, Scotland’s finest landscapes are within easy reach. Our coaches depart directly from the terminal and can take your group to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, the Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument, Inveraray and Argyll, Glasgow city centre, or deeper into the Scottish Highlands. Every route is tailored around your ship’s schedule, so you are always back at the gangway with time to spare.

I wanted to be sure to let you know my group of eight ladies touring through Scotland from 7/16-7/23/19 were extremely impressed with our driver, Robert Cunningham. The Mercedes van was spotlessly clean every day, Robert’s driving was safe and comfortable. However, more importantly, he was a complete gentleman and pleasant traveling companion. He truly became a part of our little group and we could not have been happier.
