Thank you to Rob, Sam, Ruari, Abbie and all at Hebrides Cruises, not forgetting the beautiful Lucy Mary for another amazing trip. Graeme was thrilled to achieve his ambition of visiting the original (and best ) St Kilda. We also enjoyed revisiting The Small Isles. A bonus was the weather whist not warm it was mostly dry and whilst we were at St Kilda
we were able to view the magnificent stacs under clear blue skies. Sam's offering from the galley were truly magnificent with an amazing
range of textures and flavours from all over the world. We enjoyed many a chat with Ruari - did you know he could have been a concert pianist? Abbie clearly loves her job and we
hope she continues to look after your guests as well as she did us. Huge thanks to Rob for his skill, diligence and great stories of life on the sea and in the islands.

Hi Emma, have just returned from a wonderful whale watching trip in the Northern Minch. In spite of mixed weather saw dolphin, porpoise, numerous Minke whales and lots of birdlife too, including many sightings of White Tailed sea eagles. On our 'great whale day' saw more of the same, plus fin whale and an eye to eye encounter with a humpback whale gliding past the boat side! Such a wonderful day for us all!!! We also enjoyed some wonderful scenery throughout our cruise and enjoyed various shore trips. Our crew_ Charlie our skipper, Lynsey our wildlife guide, Louis our chef and Jasmin our steward, were all excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The Emma Jane was comfortable, clean and spacious. Our fellow guests were lovely and all combined made for a wonderful holiday.
