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!

Our second holiday with Hebrides Cruises, this time on Lucy Mary, and it didn't disappoint a voyage of a lifetime. A varied itinerary with some unexpected and wonderful surprises. We were exceptionally well looked after by James (skipper), Perry (chef), Bella (wildlife guide) and Abbie (steward) on what is probably the most relaxing holiday we have ever experienced. Our biggest challenge now is to decide which cruise to do next time. Thank you for an amazing and memorable holiday. Chris, Christine and Alan
