We have received the 2025 rates for the pilgrimage. The rate from the hotel covers the room, meals (breakfast and dinner) and John Philip Newell’s time with us. Not reflected is the $500 administrative fee. So, for example, if you book a Single Room with Sea View, at $3288.21, the amount due to HIU is $3788.21.
Airfare, bus/ferry fares between Oban and Mull, and hotel in Glasgow are all paid individually by the traveler. We will discuss these costs when we meet in September.
As a rough guideline airfare between Boston and Glasgow runs about $900-1200 for economy, bus and ferry fares run about $60-80 r/t, and hotels in central Glasgow are about $150-200 per night. Prices are dependent on the exchange rate, so these are only estimates.
