Our 2018 season will be the last one where Elizabeth G can offer such affordable prices before her conversion to ensuite and with fewer guests on board. With most months booked out for 2018, we added extra Scottish cruises to the calendar for Elizabeth G fans to have an opportunity to cruise with her this autumn at the cheaper price. A 6-night cruise is only £1285 per person - a real bargain with four expert crew on board, including a specialist Wildlife Guide, accompanied onshore excursions and gourmet food. There are now only 3 cabins remaining for these cruises.
Autumn is a wonderful time to take a Scottish cruise, with wildlife at its most prevalent and most easily spotted in the Inner Hebrides. Book online now or get in touch with Emma if you would like more information.

Elizabeth G: September 22nd 2018 | £1285.00 per person | sorry, sold out
The unspoiled coastline of the Isle of Mull is dotted with historic monuments, dramatic cliffs, beautiful beaches and secluded coves just waiting to be explored. Offshore there are many islands to visit for a magical sea journey. The Treshnish Isles are teeming with wildlife and Staffa, with Fingals Cave is a geological marvel. The islands of Ulva, Gometra and Iona provide idyllic anchorages and excellent shore excursions and venturing north, the Cairns of Coll is a hot spot for basking sharks.

There is a special time of year, and an area of the west coast, that is an amazing hub for wildlife. Autumn is a wonderful time to be at sea in the Hebrides for spotting dolphins, porpoises and minke whales. Eagles and sea birds are at their highest number, basking sharks are still around, seals and otters are plentiful. The cruise area is very scenic, visiting the “Small Isles” and the magnificent sea lochs of Mull and Ardnamurchan with excellent guided walking opportunities on shore.
Chris, our skipper, was very focused on our wish to see the Monachs, St Kilda and the Shiants, along with our focus on watching wildlife. Sam, (our wildlife guide) was fantastic at spotting cetaceans and Chris was happy to divert and wait so we could see them. We had outstanding luck and were privileged to see dolphins repeatedly making fish bait balls, which attracted gannets, gulls, skuas and petrels. This went on for about 2 hours. I have to further congratulate Chris for his sensitivity in never approaching wild animals too closely; he always kept a distance which allowed us to see their natural behaviour. We ended the cruise with a day hopping from one eagle’s nest to the next, again we had great views but respect was given to the animals. Craig (Bosun) gives superb customer service. Always there to help, always with an eye on safety and our comfort. He was unflappable! Stevy (Cook) consistently produced really nice meals. If I have dairy products I feel ill, Stevy did not put a foot wrong, he always had an alternative I could eat, I was never ill, this is above and beyond the service I have received in expensive hotels! A fantastic holiday, with a superb crew! It could not have been bettered!
