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.

James skippers a wonderful crew with immense professionalism earning their considerable respect. The Lucy Mary is so well suited to providing guests with a level of comfort and security to allow the relaxed and enjoyable experience to be fully appreciated. Our hostess Abbie, artistically laid table, served spectacular meals and drinks, she could not have done more to wait on us and yet like a fairy godmother discretely kept our cabins and heads in pristine order. Tash, our delightful diligent chef is an imaginative delight, a real asset to the ship. Indy and Will clearly have talents in ship steerage! However, Indy's wild life knowledge and his enthusiasm to share, is when his true talent becomes infectious. We were so fortunate to get to St Kilda to witness a true world wonder of bird and cetacean variety and concentration brought to life with Indy's narrative. Hebrides Cruses is an exceptional experience, thank you.
