From rugged mountains to misty lochs and dramatic cliffs, Scotland offers wild beauty and deep history at every turn.
After her northern cruising season, La Datcha continued exploring the British Isles in 2025 with Nova Yachts. The journey revealed Scotland’s many contrasts — remote islands with ancient stones, heather-covered hills, deep glens, and coastlines alive with seabirds.
Nova’s expedition team arranged memorable experiences on land and sea: helicopter flights over the many islands and lochs, kayaking through sea stacks and quiet coves, and tender trips to uninhabited islands where guests could hike and bike to ruins, lighthouses, and wide-open viewpoints.
Built for adventure, La Datcha handled Scotland’s shifting weather and narrow passages with ease, giving guests the freedom to explore these legendary waters.
Evenings onboard were just as special — Scottish-inspired dining, relaxing in the spa after a day outdoors, and peaceful moments on deck under the soft northern light.
The voyage showed how comfort, luxury, and exploration can blend seamlessly when guided by the experienced Nova team.
