A liveaboard cruise with Hebrides Cruises means your accommodation moves with you as you explore Scotland’s spectacular west coast.  Each day brings a new adventure, from exploring remote islands and beaches to spotting wildlife such as seals, seabirds and dolphins all at a relaxed pace with plenty of time to enjoy your surroundings.

Your cruise price includes full onboard hospitality, allowing you to simply switch off and enjoy the experience. Included in your fare:

• Comfortable cabin accommodation 
• Freshly prepared breakfast each morning
• Lunch and traditional afternoon tea
• A delicious three course evening meal
• Complimentary wine with dinner
• Tea, coffee and refreshments throughout the day
• Shore landings and island visits 
• A friendly, experienced crew with excellent local knowledge
• Hairdryer and toiletries 

At Hebrides Cruises, we pride ourselves on creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere onboard, where great food, stunning scenery and personal service come together to make your cruise truly memorable.

We aim to land guests ashore as often as weather, tides and your itinerary allow — usually once or twice each day.

Some stops may be short landings to spot wildlife or enjoy a beach walk, while others offer more time to explore island villages, historic sites or scenic walking routes with our onboard guide.

Every cruise is flexible and shaped by local conditions and guest interests/abilities on the day. No two journeys are ever quite the same and that’s all part of the adventure.

Our guests tend to range from 40 to 80, though we welcome adults of all ages. Most of our passengers enjoy nature, wildlife, photography, island life and relaxed exploration.

Couples, solo travellers and small groups all feel at home onboard. You do not need to be “outdoorsy” or highly active, just curious and open to adventure.

Scotland's weather can be changeable as we know, so packing layers is key.  

We recommend:

• Waterproof jacket and trousers
• Warm layers (fleece/jumper/hat)
• Comfortable walking boots or shoes
• Daypack for shore visits
• Camera or binoculars - There are a few pairs of binoculars aboard for guest use, but you may wish to bring your own for spotting wildlife.
• Sunglasses 
• We suggest packing with a soft-shell bag rather than a hard suitcase as they can be easier to store. However, if you only have a suitcase, please do not buy a soft shell bag especially.
• Each guest is provided with shampoo, shower gel, and a hairdryer in their cabin. The vessel’s electricity is 240V AC and standard UK 3 pin sockets throughout the cabins.
• Tipping is entirely at your discretion. However, if you do wish to leave a gratuity, please give it to the Skipper who will ensure it is shared equally between all crew members. 

We understand that plans can change. Any cancellation must be notified to us in writing by the person who made the booking and any refund will only be paid to the person from whom payment was received.

Our cancellation charges are:

• More than 56 days before the start of your cruise: only the deposit is charged.
• Between 56 and 30 days: 50% of the cruise cost is charged.
• Between 30 and 14 days: 75% of the cruise cost is charged.
• Less than 14 days before the cruise, or once the cruise has started: the full cost is charged.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, so we strongly recommend comprehensive holiday/cancellation insurance when you book.
