This was a superb holiday, travelling solo with strangers on board the Emma Jane. Some were experienced cruisers; others, like me, new to the experience. The group was friendly and I think everyone managed to do as much or as little as they chose to – joining Will on his fascinating wildlife walks, ambling along the tow path or just watching the view change from an easy chair as we moved along the canal and lochs. The crew made a great team - from James' handling of the boat through flights of locks, Helen's watchful care of us and our cabins, Ruth's amazing cooking (for me, the best vegan food I've ever been served.) The weather was lovely, I saw almost everything I hoped to see and lot more I didn't know was there, I enjoyed the informality and peace of it all. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the waiver a single supplement, so thanks to Hebrides Cruises for that.

It was absolutely marvellous- everything was fantastic. All of the crew was so nice, so skilled, so knowledgeable and each one in their own way really did go the extra mile. It was a truly wonderful holiday. Very very comfortable boat, exquisite food, everything just there when we wanted it, great trips and great sailing. It was a truly brilliant holiday, thank you so much
