Having left the Elizabeth G and the amazing Hebrides Cruises team today (following the most extraordinary 10 day trip to St Kilda & the Hebrides) I cannot shout loud enough in my support for this shortlisting!! Your care, attention, professionalism and quality are all beyond top standard. We have had amazing nature, wildlife, Hebrides and boating experiences and lessons everyday & I am leaving the trip with a far better awareness & understanding than when I started (in particular regarding our human impact on sea life and why we must respect & preserve it as much as possible). Thank you so much Hebrides Cruises & good luck in the finals!!

From the first contact to the final farewell, this couldn't have been a better experience. This particular cruise was perfect for me as a novice cruiser who suffers from sea-sickness! I'm now a convert.... six days was enough for my first trip but I'd be delighted to go for longer with Hebrides Cruises now. We were very lucky with the weather - only a day and a half of rain - and the sea was calm. The staff on land and the crew on board looked after us so well. The wildlife guide had an exceptional wealth of knowledge, the bosun could turn his hand to anything from origami napkins to cleaning the anchor chain, the cook should offer master classes in haute cuisine in a tiny galley and the skipper took decisions based on the conditions so that we had the best chance of seeing wildlife. All were professional and considerate, and relaxed. While the space on board is 'compact', it is a charming vessel with everything provided. I can't recommend this cruise highly enough!
