An imperious vessel, the MV Clansman – Fear-cinnidh in Gaelic – is one of the most well-equipped ships in the Caledonian MacBrayne fleet. Of particular interest is her panoramic observation lounge, allowing passengers to take in the breath-taking sights as the beloved Clansman weaves her way through the islands of the west coast.
The MV Clansman is equipped with a multitude of facilities and amenities, all designed to make your journey as comfortable as possible. Marvel at the natural beauty of Scotland’s landscape as it gently drifts past from our ample outdoor seating, take in the awe-inspiring views from the observation lounge, or relax with your four-legged friend in our specially designated pet area.
With a host of facilities on board, the MV Clansman has everything you could need to get your trip off to a memorable start. A generous food menu, a well-stocked shop and dedicated spaces to relax and watch the world go by are just some of the exclusive experiences you can explore on board this iconic vessel.
Located to the bow on Deck 4, the Mariners Café offers a truly unique dining experience. Grab a table and watch the landscape change as you enjoy a freshly cooked meal of locally sourced Scottish ingredients – awarded a ‘Taste our Best’ seal of approval from Visit Scotland – while taking in the spectacular views. Pair it with a soft or alcoholic drink from the café to complete your meal in style. Or, if time is of the essence, why not take advantage of our new Food To Go menu – bringing you a range of CalMac classics ready made for your enjoyment.
To the Stern of Deck 4 you’ll find an oasis of calm known as the Coffee Cabin. A place to enjoy a range of hot drinks, specialty coffees and light snacks surrounded by amazing views – the perfect destination for some ‘me time’ while en route to your destination. The Coffee Cabin onboard the MV Clansman also boasts a range of locally sourced alcoholic drinks for your enjoyment.
To the stern of Deck 4 you’ll find Shop@CalMac, your onboard destination for a range of products to enhance your journey – including exclusive island produce. From traditional treats like sweets and soft drinks to the morning papers and the latest magazines, you can find it all at the shop.
