The week on board the Emma Jane definitely fulfilled evereything we asked for when we booked this cruise! Our main wishes were to search for wildlife, and have unique whiskey experiences. We had a spectacular week with sunny skies and calm seas, and were really lucky to spot the first minke whales of the season! Lunga and its amazing puffin colony were definitely a highlight for us, as this was our first encounter with these beautiful sea parrots. Our crew went out of their way to make sure we got to see as many species of wildlife as possilbe both on sea and during land excursions, and we had amazing experiences visiting Rum, Eigg, Cana and Mull - with dolphins, seals, eagles, a million different types of birds, ducks and geese, and even red deer and the gorgeous Rum ponies. Thanks to the special efforts of our crew, we had a very unique cask-whiskey tasting experience at Tobermory, which we truly cherish. This was our first trip to Scotland, and it proved to be both a wonderful family experience and a great holiday retreat. We would love to be back and explore further!

Hello Emma - I just wanted to let you know how much we loved the trip. It was a perfect gem of a cruise & what a fabulous team you have put together! All credit to them for making it so memorable. If I had to pick one it would be Emma, as she is quite an amazingly talented chef,but really all were fantastic in their different roles. It was truly amazing & we were so lucky to see St Kilda in such brilliant sunshine. James put together a lovely video and I would love to have a copy of it if possible? Our very best wishes to you and your family,
