Spring is a wonderful time of year to explore the beautiful Hebridean islands aboard our April cruises. We have two cruise itineraries still available for April 2026
Our 3-night Hebrides Magical Mini-Cruise aboard Lucy Mary starts off our season in style on April 4th and is perfect for a short break. We guarantee you will feel revitalised as you glide through spectacular scenery, being looked after by your attentive crew who are delighted to be returning to Hebrides Cruises to celebrate the first cruise of the season. Your Chef will love the spring produce available to turn into delicious menus: from free-range Island lamb, beef and venison to freshly caught seafood and new season vegetables.

Our 6-night Idyllic Islands: Mull, Iona and the Treshnish Isles Cruise departs on April 18th aboard Elizabeth G and April 23rd aboard Lucy Mary. This cruise is especially good for wildlife encounters: puffins and many other rare bird species are nesting on the islands while our sharp-eyed wildlife guides are on the lookout for otters on the coastline and scanning the seas for dolphins and whales.

The month of April is always one of the best months for blue skies. Statistically, the spring months are the driest and have the sunniest days with a beautiful light on the landscape which is an inspiration to our guests who enjoy photography and the creative arts.

Fabulous experience from start to finish. Excellent service from all crew members. We had an adventure of a lifetime, experiencing 2 Orcas, Humpback, Minkes and an array of dolphins all in the same day. The scenery is spectacular. Lucy Mary is a fantastic boat to cruise on. Our stop offs were inspiring to see, plenty of information given to us by Indy. The walks were beneficial to see other wildlife both fauna and different birds. An epic adventure not to be forgotten.
