A whisky tour from Invergordon cruise port is a natural fit: Invergordon sits close to Glen Ord distillery (Muir of Ord) and the Black Isle, and longer port windows allow time for Speyside or other Highland distilleries. We meet you at the terminal, plan the day around your ship’s schedule and any distillery bookings, and deliver you back with time to spare.
Glen Ord is roughly 30–40 minutes from Invergordon and works well for a relaxed shore day with one distillery visit and optional Black Isle or coastal stops. When your port call is long enough we can include a second distillery or head toward Speyside. Every tour is private for your group with a dedicated driver-guide and luxury Mercedes vehicle.
This is our same high standard as our Speyside Whisky tour and Highland Whisky Trail, with start and finish at Invergordon and a schedule built around your cruise.
Timings and suitability for cruise ships
We need a port window of at least 6–7 hours for a relaxed whisky day from Invergordon (e.g. Glen Ord plus Black Isle or Inverness). Longer port calls allow time for Speyside or a second distillery. We confirm all-aboard times with you and always build in a buffer. Distillery tours and tastings often require advance booking; we can advise on timing when you request a quote.

We meet at the Invergordon cruise terminal at an agreed time after your ship docks. Your driver-guide will have your ship name and schedule. At the end of the day we drop you back at the terminal.
