The Majestic Line is a private cruise line with its headquarters in Dunoon, Scotland. Founded in 2004, it is named after a fictional shipping company that features in Neil Munro's tales of Para Handy.[1][2]
As of 2013, the line was operating cruises out of Oban to the Islands of the Clyde and the Inner Hebrides.[2]
Fleet
The company runs a fleet of two vessels converted from fishing trawlers,[2][3] and a third, purpose-built, vessel, which has the look and feel of a 1930s “gentleman’s motor yacht”[4][5]
