After the long winter months, we invite you to escape to the Hebrides to feel rejuvenated aboard a luxury cruise with a heady mix of gourmet meals, gorgeous scenery and close encounters with nature. For the past few seasons, April in the Hebrides has been idyllic, so we have provided a new 3-night Hebrides Magical Mini Cruise aboard our luxury motor yacht, Lucy Mary. The mini-cruise is the perfect way to experience everything our cruises offer – the only downside is it will leave you wishing to stay aboard longer.
The cruise itinerary takes in quintessential castles, sparkling sea lochs and beautiful beaches to glide past while on board or explore on land. Drop anchor in sheltered bays where all you hear is the calls of the birds and the soothing sound of waves washing on the shore. Relax on the immaculate teak deck to watch the sunset, while your steward correctly anticipates that a sundowner drink is called for.
The four crew seamlessly and courteously attend to your every wish, creating a relaxed and stylish ambiance, from the hand-crafted table decorations to the nuggets of information about all the wonders of the Hebrides. The delicious food on board makes the cruise a real treat. Spotting an otter or a minke whale, or dolphins bow-riding takes your enjoyment of your cruise to another level.
Lucy Mary is a classic motor yacht of contemporary design, with impeccable fittings and finishes and elegant comfortable furnishings from the custom-designed mahogany dining table to leather suites. The ensuite cabins have cream carpets and are panelled with mahogany throughout.
You will depart your April mini-cruise invigorated and ready to face whatever life throws at you – with wonderful memories to be treasured.
Departure dates for the 3- night Hebrides Magical Mini Cruise are April 16th and April 19th 2024. The April 19th cruise is still available for private cruise charter – what a way to end the winter!
I have to give the weather a dishonourable mention - it tried its best to disrupt our cruise, but as always, the crew onboard the Emma Jane just got on with their tasks and gave us all a memorable cruise ! I think they secretly like the challenges presented !! Some of the unexpected diversions and anchorages were a real treat, bringing the crew and guests together into a big happy group of people, strangers to start with perhaps, but everyone of them were good friends by the end. A great cruise !! I must give the crew their own name checks : Jake - a new member of the Hebrides Cruises family, but already a star, introducing little ‘extras’ when we were in the rib, he obviously put a lot of thought into providing us with the best ! Lynsey - a fabulous wildlife guide, and a fabulous friend if I may claim that honour. Charlie - superb chef, what wonderful meals we were served with, beans on toast at home just doesn’t cut it anymore ???? Jasmin - nothing was ever too much trouble, everything was always in the right place, spotless, and those table designs, amazing ! Perhaps even of more importance than all the obvious skill sets possessed, was the sense of fun, positivity and friendship shown. Marks out of ten for the crew and the cruise ?? Why, 11 of course !! A great big thankyou from me for a great time.
