That’s not the engine you hear rumbling - it’s time to visit our onboard cafés with menus to suit all tastes. It’s all part of the adventure when you sail with us, from fresh dishes perfect for sharing to treats from our shop. You’ll also find products from over 60 local and island-based suppliers across 15 islands - a great way to sample and support the communities we serve.
Discover the taste of the islands with Islay Ales, our next supplier spotlight. In this video, we take you behind the scenes to meet the team, explore their brewing process, and show how their beers make every ferry trip even more special. Whether you’re sailing to Islay or just enjoying the view, raise a glass with us and celebrate the amazing local producers.
