Only superlatives could be used to describe this cruise, held in the most modern of the Company's ships, the Lucy Mary. A detailed account of the cruise has been given independently by another reviewer and I have limited my use of detail accordingly. The ship was comfortable and well maintained. We sailed with a complement of five crew and six guests and the atmosphere was good throughout the duration of the voyage. All of the crew contributed to this success, but most obvious was the professional partnership between James (skipper) and Indy (the wildlife guide); the first positioning the ship close to wildlife and the guide then having the academic knowledge to impart a fascinating account of it. Safety measures were appropriately maintained without disrupting the principal objectives of the cruise. Taken all together, a very professional delivery by Hebrides Cruises.
