Scotland Cruises 2016

2018 Azamara Cruises, Scotland | Azamara

Formerly known for its heavy industry, Dundee has developed into a lively arts, desing, music and theatrical life. It is the first UNESCO City ofDesign in Britain and now has the first Designmuseum outside London. Situated in a world-class facility, the new V&A Musuem OfDesign is in the centre of the redesigned riverside promenade.

Come and discover the history of Scotland's exceptional Scottish designer legacy. The McManus is Dundee's largest open-air exhibition, but don't miss the Dundee Contemporary Art. As a centre for art and ingenuity, the centre is used as a designer store, trendy cafe, art galleries and art cinemas. Also worth seeing is the Dundee Science Centre (formerly Sensation), a sensory museum: glide through a truncated skull on a rose-tongued surface before passing through a snout.

Not only Scotland's 4th town, Dundee is an unmitigated pleasure. Discover the mythical Scone Palace in the centre of Scotland and the symbol of the crowning of some of the country's most powerful royalty. Board the mythical explorer vessel RRS Discovery and then head off on a stroll through the historical Dundee area.

So where do we go in 2016? We have travelled around the world, doing all the research we can to find the best luxurious holiday and cruising destination of the year........
