We cannot speak highly enough of The Emma Jane, your wonderful crew and the magical 10 day cruise we had to so many wonderful islands, including St Kilda and the Shiants! Skipper Jake, wildlife expert Lauren, steward Tani and chef Charlie were all brilliant and expert in their respective areas. Nothing was too much trouble. Every day we had a presentation on where we’d been and were going next, along with a summary of all our wildlife sightings. We learnt so much about the western isles and its wildlife – whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, otters and the complete cross section of sea birds. Many thanks to Hebrides Cruises for such a fantastic experience and for helping us celebrate our Ruby Wedding anniversary on board with a stunning (and tasty!) cake – decorated with edible flowers - made by chef Charlie.

We just wanted to say how wonderful last week was on the Emma Jane. Skipper Chris and Lynsey devised an excellent itinerary. Jaya’s food was amazing and Bee the perfect hostess. The laughter from the galley was a delight even though we didn’t have a clue what they were talking about! The weather was wonderful and the wildlife beyond expectation. The humpback whale making a guest appearance couldn’t have been better timed. Lynsey jumping around the deck with sheer excitement was also quite a joy! Thank you once again to everyone involved with the cruise. It was a long time coming but well worth the wait.
