Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the trip to St Kilda. Captain Rob and his crew were exceptional and we learnt so much about the nature on islands from Rob and Linsey. And accompanying Rob on his (maybe) 250th trip to St Kilda will be a lasting memory. Craig was the epitome of service, nothing seemed to faze him and everything was done with a smile. And the food! Sian was fantastic – Anne had been worried about the gluten free business but there was absolutely no problem and the production of a fantastic gluten free Golden Wedding cake stole the show. Thanks to you all – we will be back!

This is my third trip with Hebrides cruises and it's like meeting up with old friends every time. The crew may change, but the warmth, care and incredible service remains the same with nothing being too much trouble and the effort made to give everyone a good experience is a hallmark of the company. The onshore trips allow for individual choices in how one wants to spend the time ashore while always having the option of a guide who is familiar with the area and advice on things worth seeing . The welcome back with a glass of fizz and home( or should it be boat?)baked cakes is lovely. And talking about food, I have rarely eaten so well on holiday, with Peter in the kitchen producing continually exciting and varied but always delicious meals. Pauline kept everything in sparkling order and James and Lynsey ensured we didn't miss a thing whether it be a sighting of eagles, seals or porpoises - a particular highlight was Lunga and time spent with the puffins! As a single traveller, I always feel so at home and comfortable with my fellow travellers that I find it hard to imagine my year without a trip around the Isles - roll on No. 4!
