The bosun Craig kept our glasses full whether of early morning tea or wine with good humour. All clean and tidy despite the guests. Meals by Sian were a total delight. I have never eaten so well for 6 days and it was light and we slept well. Good meals can often feel just too much but that was perfect. I can honestly say that was one of the very best holidays I have ever had in my life. Leave space for me as Im coming back!

This was a superb holiday, travelling solo with strangers on board the Emma Jane. Some were experienced cruisers; others, like me, new to the experience. The group was friendly and I think everyone managed to do as much or as little as they chose to – joining Will on his fascinating wildlife walks, ambling along the tow path or just watching the view change from an easy chair as we moved along the canal and lochs. The crew made a great team - from James' handling of the boat through flights of locks, Helen's watchful care of us and our cabins, Ruth's amazing cooking (for me, the best vegan food I've ever been served.) The weather was lovely, I saw almost everything I hoped to see and lot more I didn't know was there, I enjoyed the informality and peace of it all. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the waiver a single supplement, so thanks to Hebrides Cruises for that.
