The MV Isle of Lewis, Eilean Leòdhais in Gaelic, is one the fastest and longest vessels in the CalMac fleet – a ship that inspires awe from onlookers as she makes her journey from Oban to Castlebay in Barra all year round.
The MV Isle of Lewis 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 full complement of facilities on board, the MV Isle of Lewis has everything you could need to get your trip off to a memorable start. An expanded food menu, a well-stocked bar 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.
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.
On Deck 5 you’ll find an oasis of calm known as the Coffee Cabin. A place to enjoy a range of hot drinks, specialty coffees, light snacks and alcoholic drinks surrounded by amazing views – the perfect destination for some ‘me time’ while en route to your destination.
Within the Coffee Cabin, you can find a range of products to enhance your journey – including exclusive island produce. From traditional treats like sweets and soft drinks, to books, maps, souvenirs and various gifts including Harris tweed products - you can find it all at the shop.
