Excursion Itinerary

Discover Glasgow on a private shore excursion from Greenock, designed especially for cruise passengers looking to make the most of their day ashore in Scotland. With your own private vehicle and dedicated driver-guide, you’ll explore some of Glasgow’s most famous landmarks, museums and historic neighborhoods at a comfortable pace. All attractions included in this itinerary are free to visit, with convenient pick-up and return at Greenock Cruise Terminal and our trusted Shore Excursion Guarantee.

Your day begins in Glasgow’s West End with a visit to Kelvingrove Park and the University of Glasgow. Founded in 1451, the university is one of the oldest in the English-speaking world. Take time to explore its historic campus, known for its striking Gothic Revival architecture, impressive courtyards and views across the city.

Next, visit the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, one of Glasgow’s best-loved attractions. Its extensive collections bring together art, Scottish history, ancient artifacts and natural history, making it one of the highlights of any visit to the city.

After time for lunch, continue to Glasgow Cathedral, one of Scotland’s finest surviving medieval buildings. Explore this remarkable historic landmark and discover its centuries-old connection with the story and development of Glasgow.

Your private Glasgow tour then continues into the heart of the city, taking in George Square and Glasgow City Chambers, before travelling south to Pollok Country Park and The Burrell Collection, home to thousands of works of art and historic objects from around the world.

At the end of your day, your private driver-guide will return you directly to Greenock Cruise Terminal, bringing your private Glasgow shore excursion to a relaxed conclusion.

As this is a private excursion, there’s a little more flexibility built into your day. If there’s somewhere you’d particularly like to spend more time, or a stop you’re less interested in, your driver-guide can adjust the pace where possible. Any changes will always be subject to opening times, traffic conditions and, most importantly, ensuring you are back at your ship in plenty of time.
