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.

This was a wonderful experience! We had debated for some time about the cruise and after Covid thought “what the hell!” It was brilliant in every way- the crew were a wonderful bunch intent on giving us a great adventure- they succeeded! Fabulous wildlife, amazing meals, a really good group who gelled well despite being mixed in terms of ability and outlook.Great fun and looked after so well.
