Hi Emma - Just a quick email to say how much we enjoyed the cruise on Emma Jane. It crops up regularly now in conversation and we have enjoyed looking back over the photos. Claire was a bit worried as she doesn’t travel so well on boats/ships, but apart from one day, coped really well and came away loving the experience. James, Helen, Lynsey and Caroline looked after us so well. We loved the trips ashore, exploring (we couldn’t fault Lynsey’s eternal optimism and enthusiasm on what we might spot!), and then to be met by Helen popping the fizz on our return, with beautiful cake baked by Caroline.....well, enough, you get the picture..really great.

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!
