We are not 'cruise people'. The very thought of being on a ship with cinemas, shows, and hoards of people has always been an anathema! Yet this cruise appealed to us, a small group of people, a short duration, and a crew of 4 to look after 8 people. Plus, of course, the islands and the wildlife. We took the plunge and booked. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The boat (Lucy Mary) was just the right size; our cabin was comfortable and private; the lounge and bar were relaxing. From the decks we had superb views. Both the islands (walking across the rocks to Fingel's Cave was a particular highlight) and the wildlife (we saw whales, dolphins, puffins, eagles and more) were all that we had hoped them to be. And the crew were brilliant - all 4 of them (Skipper, Guide, Hostess and Cook). It was a real pleasure to have one of them join us for dinner each evening. Thank you Chris, Indy, Abi and Sarah!

We found the staff and crew of Hebrides Cruises second to none! As was this amazing cruise, the highlight of our much anticipated first visit to Scotland from Australia. It was evident that along with their professional, friendly service - core business was to ensure each individual on board had the best experience possible. We can highly recommend Hebrides Cruises to anyone looking to either visit the islands of Scotland or simply enjoy the best that cruising has to offer.
