Have a look at the blog our Australian guest Murray Foote has produced to document his St Kilda and the Hebrides cruise with us in 2014. The images and information are truly superb and we are very grateful to Murray for sharing them with us.
Murray said "We shared a wonderful cruise to St Kilda and the Hebrides last year. That was definitely a great voyage! I felt very lucky to find it."
His blog posts for his St Kilda and the Hebrides cruise on the 12th - 20th July 2014 contains 19 posts with 288 images and includes a short history of St Kilda.

This was my second cruise with Hebrides Cruises, and it won't be my last! We saw Common and Risso's dolphins as well as Minke whales, and were able to observe some fantastic behaviour while watching them. We also saw White Tailed and Golden eagles, as well as many different sea birds. Added to this was spectacular scenery as well as interesting trips ashore, where we could go for guided walks or head off alone if that was preferred. The knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide Linsey, and skipper James was also much appreciated. Finally, we were very well taken care of by our bosun Cat, and Sarah provided us with plenty of excellent food. All in all it was a fantastic trip, thank you.
