About This Deal
The Deal
With bridges, blustery islands and all manner of wildlife to gaze upon, the valiant Forth Belle will escort pairs on a cruise of the iconic Firth of Forth. The 90-minute trip offers views of the 19th-century rail bridge and 20th-century road crossing, as well as the party-built new bridge, flying the flag for the 21st century. Sailors can stand on the outdoor observation decks for a chance to see local wildlife including seabirds and seals. Alternatively the heated lounge offers shelter where refreshments are available. All trips include guided commentary, and those feeling exploratory can hop off for a 90-minute excursion to Inchcolm Island for a supplement of up to £5.50.
