Our 2018 season will be the last one where Elizabeth G can offer such affordable prices before her conversion to ensuite and with fewer guests on board. With most months booked out for 2018, we added extra Scottish cruises to the calendar for Elizabeth G fans to have an opportunity to cruise with her this autumn at the cheaper price. A 6-night cruise is only £1285 per person - a real bargain with four expert crew on board, including a specialist Wildlife Guide, accompanied onshore excursions and gourmet food. There are now only 3 cabins remaining for these cruises.
Autumn is a wonderful time to take a Scottish cruise, with wildlife at its most prevalent and most easily spotted in the Inner Hebrides. Book online now or get in touch with Emma if you would like more information.

Elizabeth G: September 22nd 2018 | £1285.00 per person | sorry, sold out
The unspoiled coastline of the Isle of Mull is dotted with historic monuments, dramatic cliffs, beautiful beaches and secluded coves just waiting to be explored. Offshore there are many islands to visit for a magical sea journey. The Treshnish Isles are teeming with wildlife and Staffa, with Fingals Cave is a geological marvel. The islands of Ulva, Gometra and Iona provide idyllic anchorages and excellent shore excursions and venturing north, the Cairns of Coll is a hot spot for basking sharks.
The Small Isles and sea lochs: wildlife havens, 6-night cruise

October 6th 2018 | £1285.00 per person | 1 double cabin only
There is a special time of year, and an area of the west coast, that is an amazing hub for wildlife. Autumn is a wonderful time to be at sea in the Hebrides for spotting dolphins, porpoises and minke whales. Eagles and sea birds are at their highest number, basking sharks are still around, seals and otters are plentiful. The cruise area is very scenic, visiting the “Small Isles” and the magnificent sea lochs of Mull and Ardnamurchan with excellent guided walking opportunities on shore.
What a truly memorable week even though the weather was a little wet at times! The Elizabeth G is just perfect for cruising around the islands. Rob, our skipper, took us to the most magical places to drop anchor for lunch and at night. Some of my best memories are, the ship going quite close inshore as we watched a sea eagle flying through a rainbow back to its nest, hearing red deer calling and then fighting as it was the rutting season on the hills surrounding us when we were overnighting in a sea loch, watching wild otters swimming in the kelp with some inquisitive seals when we stopped for lunch and seeing the night sky with no light pollution or planes flying over. Mealtimes are also very special on board with everyone eating together and sharing their stories of the day and listening to the plans for the next day. The cruise on the Elizabeth G was my first holiday travelling solo so I was little nervous about it but I really didn't need to worry at all. The crew were very welcoming and the group of fellow guests were very friendly. There was always a lot of laughter at mealtimes and out on our walks. We were lucky to have Nigel on board who is a fantastic photographer so he was giving us tips on how to take photos of both the scenery and wildlife. If you are thinking of going, just book it, you won't regret it so long as you like good company, wonderful food and fantastic scenery! I am now booked on the St Kilda trip next year and am looking forward to it already...
