Scotland’s only five-star luxury floating hotel, Fingal, is adding some festive sparkle to its guest experiences this Christmas and Hogmanay.
Permanently berthed in Edinburgh’s historic Port of Leith, Fingal offers a luxurious setting for friends, family and colleagues to celebrate in style with its new festive afternoon tea, Christmas wreath workshop, festive private dining and Hogmanay celebration. A Fingal gift voucher is sure to be the most thoughtful present under any tree.
Fingal combines all the glamour of a superyacht with the timeless elegance of an Art Deco ocean liner, inspired by the ship’s proud maritime heritage. The Lighthouse Restaurant on board holds two AA rosettes for culinary excellence, promising an experience that’s both refined and memorable.
Served in the Lighthouse Restaurant, Fingal’s team of chefs has created an exquisite afternoon tea with a seasonal twist. Guests and non-residents can enjoy delicate savouries, festive navettes and a tempting selection of handcrafted sweet treats, all freshly prepared and beautifully presented.
Guests can craft their own eco-friendly Christmas wreath in the ship’s elegant ballroom, using locally sourced foliage and sustainable decorations. The experience includes mulled cider, sweet delicacies and expert guidance in a relaxed, creative setting.
On Hogmanay, Fingal’s grand ballroom will host a ticketed celebration open to residents and non-residents alike. Guests can dance to live lounge music and share in the countdown to midnight, marked by a traditional piper, sabrage using Fingal’s ceremonial sword, a dram, and hearty stovies to ring in the New Year in true Scottish style.
Throughout the festive season, the Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar welcomes small groups to dine in stylish private booths, while larger pre-booked parties can enjoy exclusive festive dining for up to 60 guests in the ballroom.
With 22 luxurious cabins, each named after a Stevenson lighthouse, Fingal offers an unmatched blend of Scottish heritage and modern luxury. The ship, a former Northern Lighthouse Board tender reimagined as a luxury hotel in 2019, is owned and operated by the award-winning team behind The Royal Yacht Britannia.
