Hebrides Cruises is issuing an open invitation to the general public to view our mini-cruise vessels on April 22nd from 12 noon to 4.00 pm at Dunstaffnage Marina, 3 miles north of Oban
Our new luxury vessel, Proud Seahorse, is ready for her first wildlife adventures and our original vessel, Elizabeth G has been refurbished, offering comfortable accommodation at very good value for exploring the Hebrides and St Kilda. Come aboard and meet the crew to find out more about the vessels and the pleasures of a small-ship holiday.
Also onboard will be representatives of the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust and the RSPB with whom we have a close relationship. A further feature of our cruises is the gourmet food served up on board and visitors can sample canapes from the Chefs. Very popular with guests are “Granny Mary’s scones” made by Rob’s mother in law for every cruise and these will also be on offer on the day.
If you've ever wondered if a small-ship cruise is for you, come along and find out more with all the information and advice you could possibly need from our friendly crews. Our vessels are easily spotted in the Marina but you could also listen for the sound of the bagpipes!
What a friendly company! We were made very welcome from the moment we left the bus. Our luggage was dealt with very efficiently and put on board. The same thing happened on our departure when our bags were delivered to the bus and we were given a warm send off by the wonderful crew. The scenery was stunning and the overnight anchorages were always well-positioned in sheltered bays so that we could have undisturbed nights. It was a well thought-out itinerary, adapting to weather conditions and suggestions from our leaders. The onshore trips were well-organized and help was always offered when using the zodiacs. The crew were a wonderful source of local knowledge and always happy to answer questions. The crew were absolutely wonderful, always cheerful and friendly and so obliging. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The meals were always delicious and varied - how Stevie managed to provide such a variety of piping hot dishes in such a small space is a complete mystery! I can't think of any way the cruise could have been more special for me. Mooring so close to the Cuillins was perhaps my most special moment, although the time spent on St Kilda was quite magical. Seeing such a variety and quantity of birds and sea creatures throughout the trip has inspired me to buy a really good pair of binoculars! Go for it and hope to get good weather and calm seas. It will be an exciting trip and a real adventure. The scenery is spectacular, and such a variety of islands to visit, each with their own special charm.
