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.

We had a wonderful Cruise on the beautiful Lucy Mary. The crew of James, Indy, Will, Sam and Abbie looked after us so well. We made it to St Kilda, the scenery is amazing, even managed to photograph a St Kilda Wren! The next morning we did a trip around the islands and stacks, stunning scenery, we saw minke whales close up and thousands of gannets and puffins! We also visited, Taransay, Vatersay, Barra, Eriskay to mention a few. The crew made getting ashore with the tender so easy and safe. The whole trip was first class from start to finish. The food was delicious, the accommodation very comfortable and the crew always friendly and helpful. If you are thinking about doing this trip, or any other one, then do! It was our 3rd trip with Hebrides Cruises, who I highly recommend. I look forward to sailing with you again! Thank you!
