Argyll Cruising in Scotland Aboard the Mighty Splendour
My first glimpse of the Splendor.

Fresh from refurbishment, the oh so handsome Splendour takes to the Scottish waterways.

In my first article about Argyll Cruising, I introduced Iain and Fiona Duncan and their son Jamie, who own and operate Argyll Cruising and their beautiful ship, Splendour. After only one season of operation in 2015, they decided to yet again refurbish their newly-acquired ship and rebuild each of the four cabins with en suite bathrooms.

After months of reconstruction, the Splendour is once again sailing the Scottish waterways, all cabins looking gorgeous.

Here then, is a photo tour of the Splendour.

Almost 20 years ago, I created what became an award-winning cruise blog. In 2024, a scam artist conned me into selling it to him but I was never paid. Then he sold it and kept those proceeds. So I started this new site to continue my love for cruising. My newest passion is traveling around the US and Canada with my little dog Poppy, in my Travato camper van. I hope my articles and photos entertain, advise and inspire you to explore this amazing world. Visit TravelUpClose.com for all of my train articles, and ReadyGoHike.com for you outdoor enthusiasts.
