Spring is a wonderful time of year to explore the beautiful Hebridean islands aboard our April cruises. We have two cruise itineraries still available for April 2026 which explore the fascinating coastlines of Mull and its outlying captivating islands. April is always one of the best months for blue skies - statistically, the spring months are the driest and have the sunniest days with a beautiful light on the landscape.
Our 3-night Hebrides Magical Mini-Cruise aboard Lucy Mary starts off our season in style on April 4th and is perfect for a short break. We guarantee you will feel revitalised as you glide through spectacular scenery, being looked after by your attentive crew who are delighted to be returning to Hebrides Cruises to celebrate the first cruise of the season. Your Chef will love the spring produce available to turn into delicious menus: from free-range Island lamb, beef and venison to freshly caught seafood and new season vegetables.

Our 6-night Idyllic Islands: Mull, Iona and the Treshnish Isles Cruise departs on April 18th aboard Elizabeth G and April 23rd aboard Lucy Mary. This cruise is especially good for wildlife encounters: puffins and many other rare bird species are nesting on the islands while our sharp-eyed wildlife guides are on the lookout for otters on the coastline and scanning the seas for dolphins and whales.

A wonderful trip. The scenery was breath taking. Superb wildlife sightings including close encounters with bottlenosed dolphins,sea eagles,common dolphins and otters. The onshore trips were excellent. We were not as strong walkers as the other guests, but Zoe arranged separate walks that suited us. On two of these she gave us a walkie talkie, and on Eigg Chris, the skipper, lead us on a lovely walk. The crew were very good at heping us to get on and off the tender. I thought I would find this difficult, but there was no problem at all. The anchorages were great, so peaceful.
