Outstanding! James and the crew always showed great consideration for the guests’ preferences and whilst at all times maintaining great diligence to ensure everyone’s safety, even adapted daily plans to fit in with the guests’ preferences. Each anchorage was well chosen and sheltered and he also made sure that whenever possible, meals were served at anchor. The crew were both willing to share their knowledge and benefit from that of the guests. They were also inclusive and accommodating. Onshore trips were magical, even when subjected to the vagaries of the weather! The food was of Michelin Star quality throughout the cruise and Caroline took so much care to provide alternatives for guests who required gluten and cow-free diets - she rose to this challenge wonderfully every day. Pauline’s table decorations and attention to detail were fabulous and down-to-earth common-sense approach ensured that everything ran smoothly. . Lynsey was lovely and very conscientious in pointing out wildlife as she spotted it, also acting promptly on the sightings of others. Just do it - but do it now or you’ll miss out because they’ll be fully booked!

Our second trip with Hebrides Cruises. After last year's cruise to St Kilda we wrote that Hebrides Cruises had exceeded our expectations. So, of course, this time our expectations were higher. Despite this, we were delighted that our expectations were exceeded again! A great crew who looked after us perfectly, who found us an abundance of "beasties" to admire, who produced great meals, and who arranged an itinerary that largely avoided the bad weather we could often see across the water. We couldn't have asked for more.
