A very positive experience. Right from stepping onto the pontoon the crew were helpful, friendly, welcoming and considerate. The weather was not the best for the week, but the crew had a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C at all times. The scenery every day was spectacular, and the skipper ensured that the boat motored at a suitable speed to enjoy it all. The walks onshore were very enjoyable. Crew knowledge was excellent. At all times throughout the week, the crew were patient, understanding and tolerant, willing to spend time answering questions and prioritizing the customers, no matter what other tasks were to be done. All the crew were courteous, professional and welcoming, putting the wishes and comfort of customers first. The food was of excellent quality, it was lovely to have fresh food every meal, with freshly made bread too! Jaya provided a fabulous range of meals, with something different every time and the beautiful table settings were a huge credit to Sophia! There is absolutely nothing that can be faulted in the cruise!

This is my third trip with Hebrides cruises and it's like meeting up with old friends every time. The crew may change, but the warmth, care and incredible service remains the same with nothing being too much trouble and the effort made to give everyone a good experience is a hallmark of the company. The onshore trips allow for individual choices in how one wants to spend the time ashore while always having the option of a guide who is familiar with the area and advice on things worth seeing . The welcome back with a glass of fizz and home( or should it be boat?)baked cakes is lovely. And talking about food, I have rarely eaten so well on holiday, with Peter in the kitchen producing continually exciting and varied but always delicious meals. Pauline kept everything in sparkling order and James and Lynsey ensured we didn't miss a thing whether it be a sighting of eagles, seals or porpoises - a particular highlight was Lunga and time spent with the puffins! As a single traveller, I always feel so at home and comfortable with my fellow travellers that I find it hard to imagine my year without a trip around the Isles - roll on No. 4!
