Only a handful of lines currently offer sailings out of the country, however, Barrhead Travel president Jacqueline Dobson, who is also vice-president of the Scottish Passenger Agents’ Association (SPAA), believes Scotland has the infrastructure to handle more vessels.
"I think it is something [cruise lines] need to look at," Dobson told TTG. "Every time I talk to lines about homeports, it’s always Southampton or Liverpool, or somewhere else in the UK."
She encouraged more lines to consider deploying vessels in Scotland, stressing there was "definitely a market" for more ex-Scotland sailings.
