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.

Mull, Iona, Staffa and the Cairns of Coll, 6-night cruise
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.

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.
I was longing to be aboard “Lucy Mary” again ever since stepping off her at the end of my cruise last September; I had felt surely it couldn’t be as good again - but it was. During the entire trip the 4 crew members worked extremely hard to make sure we had a thoroughly enjoyable time, with enthusiasm, professionalism and friendliness. It was great having Abbie as our charming and efficient steward again: I must mention her inventive table decorations, a beautiful highlight of every dinner time. The other three crew were new to me but outstanding. Jaya created mouth-watering meals and treats, with a zesty approach to the food, and indeed to life in general, which was very appealing. Lynsey as wildlife guide was supremely good, sharing her remarkable knowledge of the area and its wildlife so that we saw, heard and learned about many places, animals, birds and plants which would have gone unnoticed or unidentified had she not been there. All of the wonders we saw would, of course, have been unreachable without Lewis the skipper, who did his utmost to take us to all the places we were hoping to visit - with great success. The glorious weather, coupled with Lewis’s skilful handling of the boat and his careful route planning in conjunction with Lynsey and ourselves, gave us opportunities for reaching stunning destinations. There was plenty of time to savour all the experiences, whether on land by tender trips ashore or at sea by Lewis’s willingness to slow or stop for us to observe dolphins, whales, seals, seabirds. A crew working together for the best possible outcome and an amiable group of fellow passengers, travelling on a delightful boat in an area so rich in natural beauty, gave me another unforgettable cruise. Thanks wholeheartedly and see you next year!
