Coronavirus (Covid19)

A message from Martin Balcombe

Monday 13th June – 10:00 pm (GMT)

Here at Caledonian Discovery, we’ve had a busy start to the season and are enjoying having the barges back running our holidays along the whole of the Great Glen.


Coronavirus is far from over, but in Scotland all legal rules and restrictions have been lifted. We are not out of the woods yet though, so we have decided to keep some of last year’s policies to help us to run safely and responsibly. There are strong government recommendations that we are working to with regard to face coverings, and we are continuing our use of lateral flow testing to try and keep the barges as a Covid-free bubble for guests and crew. We know that you will appreciate that we do not want to lose a whole barge crew to illness as this would inevitably lead to the cancellation of cruises. We hope this will help give our guests peace of mind about our holidays and that you will support our efforts.


Our 2022 season is very well booked but there are some spaces still available. Do get in touch if you need help to find what you are looking for. The 2020 amended Terms and Conditions gave flexibility that was needed, and these terms still apply to the bookings transferred from 2020 to 2022. We kept some significant flexibility for bookings made over the last year and have kept these in the current version:  Terms and Conditions


A holiday in the Highlands is a wonderful option for 2022 and if you can’t book the date you want, there is plenty of availability in 2023. If you like to seek out spectacular destinations, and if you like a holiday of discovery with some gentle adventure, then you have a treat in store! We hope you will be able to join us in the coming year and look forward to welcoming you onto one of our holidays soon.

We h ave spent the last year pulling together a website that we are extremely happy with and we think you will be too. Aside from lots of information about the cruises and the company, it has an ‘all singing all dancing’ online booking system that is very simple to use. Thanks so much to Lamont Design for helping us achieve this! Of course we are still at the end of the telephone for those of you who would rather book by telephone or for anyone that needs help using the new site! Special Offers In conjunction with the launch of the website we have discounted the remaining available cabins in 2013. July and August are reduced by 15% and September and October by 10%. Check offers for details and actual prices. One Comment Posted on 6th July 16:54pm by Robin Black Congratulations on the new barge. Good luck for the future. New web site is great. How about a nice photo gallery. Regards, Robin

We had the pleasure of presenting our first ever Trails and Glens Biking week to a few guests in August. This cruise offers a variety of moderate biking options. Each day our experienced guide will show you the best of the trails and rides around and beyond the Great Glen. We look for a mixture of trail, forest track, towpath and scenic road that we don’t have time to offer on our Bike the Great Glen cruise.

Wild Swimming is an increasingly popular activity on our cruises. The barges lend themselves really well as a base for swimming in the lochs of the Great Glen, just watch out for Nessie! From family groups to seasoned open water swimmers a dip in a lovely fresh water loch appeals on a summers day, especially when you can hop straight in a powerful hot shower afterwards!
