It had been an amazing week with not a drop of rain. Getting to the special places that we visited is what makes a holiday with Hebrides Cruises unique. My thanks to my sailing companions and fellow adventurers, to skipper Rob, mate Craig and cook Mags who were all magnificent, and Emma on shore.

We cannot speak highly enough of The Emma Jane, your wonderful crew and the magical 10 day cruise we had to so many wonderful islands, including St Kilda and the Shiants! Skipper Jake, wildlife expert Lauren, steward Tani and chef Charlie were all brilliant and expert in their respective areas. Nothing was too much trouble. Every day we had a presentation on where we’d been and were going next, along with a summary of all our wildlife sightings. We learnt so much about the western isles and its wildlife – whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, otters and the complete cross section of sea birds. Many thanks to Hebrides Cruises for such a fantastic experience and for helping us celebrate our Ruby Wedding anniversary on board with a stunning (and tasty!) cake – decorated with edible flowers - made by chef Charlie.
