About the MV Loch Striven

The MV Loch Striven, Loch Sriogheann in Gaelic, sails from Oban to the verdant ‘great garden’ of Lismore. The first of four drive-through ferries built in the 80s, she previously served the Cumbrae and Raasay routes before settling into her current crossing in June of 2014.

Relax and enjoy the ride

Onboard the MV Loch Striven you can find a ship perfectly tailored for a short, comfortable crossing. Relax on our snug passenger lounge (accessed from the car deck, furry friends welcome) or take a seat outside on our deck and marvel at the natural beauty of Scotland’s landscape as it gently drifts past.
