Emma was at all times very communicative, helpful and personable. The website is excellent and the whole build up felt professional and personable. The accommodation was excellent, for a boat it was roomy and confortable - I managed to find a private space very day. Jordan was fabulous, lovely and a great chef. The scenery was outstanding; I thought I knew Mull, but seeing it from the water was a revelation. Every anchorage was beautiful, calm and comfortable and quiet. The knowledge, observation and and content of the wildlife guide Will was superb and James's local knowledge was what made the trip for me! Thank you for a wonderful experience - I can't believe I have to wait 18 months to get back aboard!!

Despite some pretty gusty weather, this was a fabulous cruise, our very experienced and attentive crew continually reviewing the forecast and the options to ensure the guests had a memorable and very enjoyable 10 nights aboard the wonderful Emma Jane. I’m fortunate enough to have previously visited St Kilda with Hebrides Cruises, but I must say this visit was possibly even more exciting, more a sense of achievement. However, don’t go thinking that St Kilda was all the cruise was about, not by a long way !! We had a fabulous visit to the sun drenched Shiants – sitting there watching the puffins, guillemots, razorbills, shags etc was pure pleasure. Other highlights were walking among the ruins of the old village on the Isle of Isay, just off the coast of Skye (a first for most of us), and the intriguing ruins at Rubha an Dunain on Skye. Just imagine an Iron Age dun on a cliff top, a chambered cairn from 2nd/3rd century BC, and a stone-lined canal thought to have been built by the Vikings !! This was a first for everyone on board – never let it be said Hebrides Cruises just visit the same old places, nothing could be further from the truth !!
