MV Isle of Arran l Eilean Arainn
With CalMac your island experience begins
the moment you step on board
MV Isle of Arran or Eilean Arainn was launched from Ferguson Ailsa’s Port Glasgow yard in 1983 where she was
officially named by Miss Joanna Younger, daughter of Scotland’s then Secretary of State, George Younger. In
those early days, MV Isle of Arran was considered to be ahead of her time due to her No Smokin lounge - a novel
feature in the 1980s. The MV Isle of Arran was the first roll-on, roll-off vessel in the CalMac fleet.
With her distinctive viewing area below the bridge, MV Isle of Arran has a graceful, streamlined look about her
- yet she’s powerful too. With capacity for up to 659 passengers and 62 cars, the 85 metre long MV Isle of Arran
is capable of sailing at a speed of 15 knots.
