Queensferry

Port Queensferry stands apart in the cruise world not just for its location, but for the doorway it creates to Scotland's capital and its storied Firth of Forth coastline. Boats glide into a sheltered harbor with panoramic views of the Forth Bridge, the Forth Road Bridge, and the Queensferry Crossing—a photo-ready gateway that instantly connects guests to Edinburgh's medieval Old Town, Holyrood Palace, and the kingdom of Scottish heritage just beyond the pier. Signature experiences include dockside shipboard-hosted briefings and exclusive shore excursions to Dalmeny Estate and its Georgian gardens, a behind-the-scenes rail and bridge vantage tour, a whisky tasting on a private Edinburgh city overlook, and wildlife-watching sails along the estuary. Destinations extend beyond the port's doorstep: crisp coastal towns of Fife, world-class golf at St Andrews, castles at Stirling, and the cinematic scenery of the islands on the horizon. The fleet assigned to Queensferry ships features state-of-the-art stabilizers, low-emission propulsion, and glass-walled lounge decks that put Scotland in view from every seat, complemented by onboard services that blend Scottish hospitality with modern efficiency, personalised itineraries, duty-free boutiques, enriched dining, and culturally attuned entertainment that leaves guests with memories as lasting as the views.
