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.

Booking was easy and effective. Information was helpful with final preparations before the trip. The crew went out their way to make sure we were well fed, watered, entertained and informed. With careful planning the Skipper during the early part of the cruise we made it to St Kilda. So the trip was especailly successful for my wife and I. We anchored in some lovely sheltered bays and onshore trips were well organised and well led. You would find it hard to find a better way to explore the Hebrides!
