The cruise far exceeded our expectations as did the weather! James was an excellent captain and we felt safe in his capable hands navigating through some sometimes very challenging channels. Guide Lynsey's enthusiasm was infectious and informative and there were many wildlife highlights both at sea and on land. Undoubtedly getting up close to the pod of Killer Whales was the ultimate highlight. Chef Jaya produced some wonderful meals and Bea did an excellent job serving us at the dining table and cleaning our cabins. The boat was much more roomy than we expected and our cabin was very cosy. The viewing areas were brilliant and there was plenty of space for both passengers and crew to enjoy. We will be back!

This was my third cruise on lovely Emma Jane but the first without my husband Tom, who so enjoyed the previous two but who sadly died recently. I couldn't have picked anything better for my first time away without him. Boarding Emma Jane was like meeting an old friend again. Huge thanks to the lovely crew, Colin, Lynsey, Zoe and Jaya who were so kind and hardworking and who made the cruise a wonderful experience. Also to James and Emma for their sympathy and warm welcome and to my fellow passengers who were such fun to be with. The food is great, the wildlife and scenery spectacular but it's the people who make Hebrides Cruises so special and why I'll be back next year!
