Skipper & crew were attentive & went above & beyond our expectations to enhance our enjoyment of the cruise. Impressed with standard & variety of meals/food, which were delicious & well presented. Like eating at your favourite restaurant every day. Felt we were well catered for as vegetarians. Cleanliness maintained at consistently high standard. Accommodation exceeded expectations. We were pleased with quality & maintenance of cabin & communal space. We enjoyed making use of hot tub & library. We especially appreciated the efforts the skipper & crew made to enable us to get to St Kilda, despite adverse weather conditions. We enjoyed the whole itinerary, both on board, at anchorage, & on shore trips. Made every effort to ensure our comfort & safety getting on & off tender for on shore trips. Cruise was extra special in itself. Nothing else to add.

This was such a magical adventure. I can't praise the crew highly enough, with the attention to detail, caring approach, thoughtfulness and professionalism all making our trip so easy, relaxing, happy and fun. I travelled with my elderly mother who benefited from a helpful hand navigating some of the wobblier walking moments and was thrilled at the generous approach towards topping up her wine glass. The kindness and thought put into celebrating her birthday was hugely appreciated. Like me, she came away having enjoyed fabulous scenery, majestic views (we were so fortunate with the weather), amazing animal encounters, excellent food, cleanliness throughout and generous hospitality, but it was the sheer friendliness and kindness of the crew that made the holiday so perfect. I brought with me various food intolerances and not once did I feel that I was getting second-best, indeed quite the opposite with my own freshly-baked cake each day and a very understanding approach from the fabulous Izzy and Craig.
