Another superb trip... Great food from Sally and really good crewing and wildlife observating from Rob Craig and Jill.The highlight had to be the feeding fest of 6 minke whales and countless dolphins and gannets as the herded a shoal of fish..such magnificent cooperation. Sadly this may be my last trip. But maybe in ,2027 as an 80th celebration!

I was looking for a small ship cruise to the Hebrides and spent some time surfing the t'interweb, eventually choosing Hebrides Cruises and crossing my fingers. I now know I got it so right! Rob kept us so well informed about the weather and its likely impact. His limitless knowledge meant we made the best of the opportunities - Iona had never looked to lovelier! Lynsey - well, without her, frankly many of the sightings would have been missed. I always reckon any holiday is only as good as the guide - and Lynsey is The Best! I loved my cabin (I was in no 3) - spacious, comfortable, warm, always spotlessly clean. Jaya conjured up such delights, home made bread, soups, biscuits were beyond superb and those feasts in the evening often showcased the Scottish larder - truly remarkable. It was extra special, even the weather was kind. And thanks from me to you for the most terrific holiday - exciting, scenic, fun and full of utter deliciousness!
