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.

Hi Emma - I just wanted to thank you and all your crew members for giving me the most incredible experience ever over the past few days. It is difficult to encapsulate it all in words ! From the minute we stepped on board the Lucy Mary we were treated like royalty. Abbie was amazing, discrete professional and easy to talk to. James, well his knowledge and expertise incredible. It was just lovely to sit around the table and hear everyone's stories and experiences in life and I will treasure the memories. You have a real gem in Sammy the chef . The food was out of this world! Just exquisite! Indys knowledge on wildlife and how he could identify everything was amazing. His love for wildlife shone! Will a steady guy just making sure everything was as it should be - incredible. So many highlights and laughs and just sheer joy to the soul. It was good to meet you and thank you for all the information you sent prior to boarding as it was all helpful. Very very special time. Thank you all.
