About Hebridean Cruises
Hebridean Cruises, a small cruise company, re-introduced the "Golden Age of Cruising" 17 years ago to a new and astute audience. Hebridean was voted top of UltraTravel Magazine's “10 coolest cruises”.
Hebridean Cruises were the first cruise line to introduce an all-inclusive pricing policy where all meals, drink, onboard activities, privately escorted tours and gratuities are included. Exceptional personal service, world-class dining and large spacious cabins means that the Hebridean Experience provides you the most tranquil luxury holiday you could ever desire.
Single travellers will settle in quickly and receive a very warm welcome. You can choose to dine with other solo travellers at a table hosted by a Hebridean officer, join new friends for dinner, or simply eat on your own. When on shore you can join other guests for our shore visits or go it alone. Both cruise ships have cabins designed for single travellers.
Exploring from the sea aboard the Hebridean Princess is the best way to experience the beauty of Scotland. Carrying just 49 guests, Hebridean Princess has a great reputation for exceptional service provided by the dedicated crew of 38. Almost one to one service is given with a smile and the crew will always remember you by name. This special personal touch ensures guests a perfect stay on board. The ship has 30 spacious, elegant and well-equipped cabins, 11 specially designed for the solo traveller.
Hebridean Spirit has paved the way for small luxury cruise ships, introducing new destinations and a standard of service that is hard to find in the current age of mass travel. Itineraries are thoroughly researched with the individual traveller in mind and by exploring in small groups, Hebridean often provides access to places that are typically not on the tourist radar. Cabins are luxurious and individually designed with an attention to detail that you would expect in a 5 star hotel on land.
Dining is fundamental to the Hebridean experience. Hebridean Princess has a team of talented chefs, who use the freshest ingredients Scotland has to offer. With Hebridean's all-inclusive pricing, you can enjoy perfect accompanying wines at no extra cost. The serving of Hebridean's Haggis is a ceremony that everyone looks forward to.
Onboard the Hebridean Spirit, skilled chefs create imaginative menus using fresh ingredients, often featuring local cuisine. With just 96 passengers on board, it is often possible for the chefs to choose the best produce in local markets and serve them the same day as a delectable speciality. Occasional Hebridean picnics ashore are celebrated!
There is no formal entertainment on either of the ships. A knowledgeable guide accompanies all Hebridean cruises, always there to provide information and a helping hand. If you like to explore the surroundings independently, the ships' bicycles are available for use ashore.
When not exploring ashore, enjoy a drink in the Tiree Lounge (on Hebridean Princess) or on deck, browse the well-stocked library, work out in the gym, or explore the shop. For the more energetic guest, the exciting clay pigeon shooting competition onboard the Hebridean Princess is not to be missed. Onboard the Hebridean Spirit, relax and wind down in the restful Spa suite with its beauty and hairdressing salon.
