Best vacation I have ever had!!! The crew James, Bella, Abbie and Siam was fantastic. They made us all feel at ease and was so helpful with anything we needed or wanted. I believe Bella would have pulled animals out of a hat if she could have, she was always looking for animals for us and she was so excited when we did get to see things. As you know your not always going to see everything but she gets an A+ for trying. Can't ever say enough about them all. The scenery was beautiful. The sunsets was amazing. We all as passengers felt special and so welcomed. Couldn't wait to see what each day would be because no 2 days was ever the same. And the Lucy Mary... WOW that is a fabulous boat! She's one special ride. Can't go wrong.

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...
