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!

Our trip exceeded all expectations and took us on an incredible journey around the Islands and ultimately the voyage to St. Kilda…….a once in a life-time experience! The knowledge and capability of the crew, along with their personal interaction and dedication, enhanced everything we did from our daily travel routine, land, sea and wildlife exploration to our cabin comforts and the absolutely delicious food we were graced with each day. Chris, our skipper, Lynsey, our wildlife and daily excursion leader, Greig our culinary artistic expert and Bea who looked after us all so well throughout. Thanks to you all for making our trip such a memorable one. X
