There are not enough words and adjectives to describe just how fantastic this cruise on Lucy Mary was. To fulfil an ambition of many years to actually visit St Kilda plus many other islands together with a superb crew and like minded great passengers was a dream come true. Captain James made sure we travelled comfortably and safely, making decisions every day after checking on tides and weather so we achieved every goal. His evening debriefing was informative and amusing together with details of the following days adventure. Chef Sammy made such imaginative and amazing meals every day, catering to different requests with a smile, she even shared a few recipes. Needless to say we've added a few pounds! Steward Poppy was a delight - always cheerful, always smiling and laughing and so attentive plus she kept our cabins immaculate every day. Finally, Indy, our wildlife guide. His knowledge, enthusiasm and irresistible personality enthralled us all. We learned so much and achieved his (and our) goals every day with his encouragement and drive. We are so very grateful to have been on this cruise and made memories which will last a lifetime. It won't be our last one!

This was our third cruise with Hebrides Cruises, and like the previous two it was an excellent trip, and really good fun. The booking process was straight-forward, and the cruise itself lived up to expectations - the skipper and crew worked exceptionally hard to ensure we reached the target destinations by way of a calm passage, and the on-board wildlife guide was brilliant at spotting and identifying the many whales, dolphins, and birds seen on the way. The catering on-board was top-quality. I'd recommend a trip with Hebrides Cruises to anyone interested in the history and wildlife of the Hebrides. The award of 'Scottish Small Family Business of the Year 2023' was well merited.
