Wow...did we hit the jackpot with this cruise! A truly wonderful experience from start to finish. From the minute we first contacted the attentive and friendly office staff (thank you Emma), to the luxury, spotlessly clean cabins, delicious fresh 5* food and the fabulous crew on board who continuously went 'above and beyond' to ensure our continuous comfort. It all contributed to making our experience the 'cruise of a lifetime' that it was. Being huge Scottish wildlife fenatics, we were over the moon with the various wildlife sightings we were lucky enough to see and what an absolute treat having a skipper with such exceptional local wildlife knowledge. We simply couldn't fault our experience. Thank you 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.
