Small is individual.

Hebridean Island Cruises has been setting the benchmark for luxury cruising since 1989, our small, five star luxury cruise ship – Hebridean Princess – affords our guests the highest standards of luxury cruise ship accommodation, together with a level of service from an almost forgotten era.

Each all-inclusive cruise is carefully planned by our own highly experienced researchers, whose brief is to capture the cultural essence and historical significance of each port of call.

For your cruise around the Western Isles of Scotland, Hebridean Island Cruises can take you there in unrivalled style.

Hebridean Princess, the small cruise ship which re-introduced the ‘Golden Age of Cruising’ twenty  years ago, will show you the dramatic coast of Scotland and the Western Isles and Northern Ireland from the best possible vantage point.

Outstanding service, fine cuisine, unusually spacious cabins and some of the most elegant public rooms afloat, the Hebridean Experience offers you the most relaxing luxury holiday you could wish for. An all-inclusive tariff, the very best in personal service, and some of the finest Privately Escorted Tours all tailored to be as individual as you are.

With a passenger to crew ratio of almost one to one you will enjoy excellent service which is second to none and as individual as you are.

Small is unique.
As our guests often tell us, there is no cruising experience quite like Hebridean. A very special ambience, luxury and attention to detail, individually designed and elegant cabins, fine food and wine, good company, and that rare and indefinable extra ingredient.

Small is innovative.
We visit little-visited corners, such as the ethereal waters off the west coast of Scotland - there are still such places left - and we will take you there.

Single Travellers.
Solo travellers soon feel at ease and will receive a very warm welcome. You can choose to dine with fellow single travellers at a table hosted by one of our officers, join new friends for dinner, or simply eat on your own, as you prefer - and going ashore is always a joy - accompanied by our favourite guides or an experienced Tour Manager, explore independently or join other guests for our fascinating Privately Escorted Tours. Alternatively, spend time with a good book in a quiet corner -we have excellent on-board libraries. Whatever your approach to relaxation, enjoy the freedom to do as you choose.
