I am recently returned from an amazing 10 days on Elizabeth G. We were fortunate to achieve the goal of St Kilda early on and an evocative visit to the Village was followed by a cruise around the truly awesome sea stacks and Boreray. The rest of the trip followed on with a variety of peaceful anchorages and well led shore visits. The wildlife didn't let us down with sightings of eagles, dolphins, the St Kilda wren, a whale and too many seabirds to list. We couldn't have been better looked after better by skipper Chris, guide Nigel, bosun Amy and chef Iain who made a lovely team. My thanks too to Emma for all the admin beforehand and to my fellow guests for their excellent company. I would highly recommend a voyage with Hebrides Cruises.

All superb. Chris even took us to my favourite anchorage on Rona and loitered where I had once seen an eagle’s nest. My special wish was to see the Summer Isles after first looking down on them in 1974! They were as magical as I had thought they must be. Each day was organized to make the very best of what the islands can offer. Private facilities are very good, and I love “Sea Kelp” toiletries. I really appreciated the new seating forward which was really comfortable. The crew all seemed to be very happy in their roles which made me feel comfortable with them. Hannah’s enthusiasm was infectious. Don’t hang about, just BOOK if you can find a space.
