Viking Saturn Aberdeen Shore Excursions
Private tours from Aberdeen for Viking Saturn passengers
Your Private Shore Excursion from Aberdeen
If you're arriving in Aberdeen aboard Viking Saturn, your time ashore gives you the opportunity to see far more of northeast Scotland than you could experience by simply staying close to the port.
JGB Tours of Scotland offers private shore excursions designed specifically for cruise passengers, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace rather than following a large organised group.
Whether you're interested in Scotland's castles, dramatic coastline, beautiful countryside or historic towns and villages, we can create a memorable day around the places you'd most like to see.
Viking Saturn – Aberdeen Port Call
Viking Saturn is scheduled to visit Aberdeen on Tuesday 18 May 2027 during her British Isles itinerary.
With your own private vehicle and driver, you can make the most of your time ashore and return to the port comfortably in plenty of time for your onward cruise.
Choose Your Aberdeen Excursion
We offer a selection of private tours from Aberdeen, or we can discuss creating a completely different itinerary around your interests.
Castles, Coast & Aberdeenshire
Discover some of the spectacular scenery and historic landmarks surrounding Aberdeen. Depending on the time available, your excursion can include dramatic coastal views, historic villages and some of the area's famous castles.
Royal Deeside
Travel west from Aberdeen into the beautiful Dee Valley and Royal Deeside, an area renowned for its mountains, forests, villages and royal connections.
The route can include Ballater, Braemar and the surrounding countryside, with opportunities to enjoy the scenery and discover some of the character of this remarkable part of Scotland.
St Andrews
For those wanting to experience one of Scotland's most famous destinations, a private excursion to St Andrews offers a very different day out.
Explore the historic town, see the famous Old Course and discover the ancient cathedral and castle before returning to Aberdeen.
Your Own Private Day
Perhaps there is somewhere else in northeast Scotland you've always wanted to see.
Because this is a private excursion, we're happy to discuss an itinerary built around your interests. If there's a particular castle, village, whisky destination, scenic route or historic site you'd like to visit, simply let us know.
Why Choose a Private Excursion?
A private shore excursion means you're not tied to somebody else's timetable or travelling with a large group of strangers.
Your vehicle and driver are exclusively for your party, allowing the day to be relaxed and flexible.
We can adjust the pace, spend longer at the places you particularly enjoy and make the most of your time ashore while keeping an eye on your return to the ship.
Your Time Ashore Matters
When you're visiting Aberdeen as part of a cruise, you have a limited window in which to experience Scotland.
Rather than spending the day wondering what you can realistically fit in, let us help you make the most of it.
From dramatic castles and coastal scenery to Royal Deeside and historic Scottish towns, there is plenty to discover beyond Aberdeen.
Tell us what you'd like to see and we'll help you plan your private excursion.
