What a wonderful experience we had on this most enjoyable cruise. Everything was so well organised from the initial contact and information give by Emma, the greeting by the crew, and throughout the six night cruise, we could not have been better looked after. Every aspect of the week was meticulously organised and we could not have asked for more. Although on some days the light wasn't perfect for photography - my main interest - the skipper, Chris, anticipated the best day to visit what was perhaps the highlight of the week, an afternoon on Lunga, where we saw sea birds by the thousands and especially puffins. This and all the other visits ashore, were greatly enhanced by Alexa, our wildlife guide who made the week so much more enjoyable and a great learning experience. Having a slight walking disability, I was particularly grateful for the additional attention and assistance I had, . On board, we were looked after exceptionally well by Mags, our wonderful chef who made certain we were well fed - the food was perfect every day - and by Craig, the bosun who kept everything running smoothly from the catering aspect to the everyday day tasks around the vessel. There were eight guests on board and we all had the same complaint, 6 nights went by far too quickly.

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!
