Description

With the possibility of accommodating just 50 guests, the Hebridean Princess has an enviable reputation for exceptional service, excellent food and wine and a very warm welcome offered by the 38 experienced crew. All onboard accommodations are spacious and elegantly furnished, 10 of which are dedicated to single travelers.
Romantic castles, peaceful and spectacular lakes, villages and unspoiled landscapes are just some of the stopovers organized by Hebridean Island Cruises. It offers 4 to 10 night cruises from Oban, reaching St Kilda, Northern Ireland, but also the Isle of Man, northern France and Belgium.

A Charming Escape on the Hebridean Princess

Comment

My journey aboard the Hebridean Princess was pure elegance from start to finish. The warm welcome from the crew set the tone for a voyage that felt personal and refined. With only a small number of guests, the atmosphere was relaxed and exclusive, more like staying in a floating country house than on a cruise ship. The excursions were beautifully organized, revealing the wild beauty of the Scottish isles through castle visits, coastal walks, and encounters with local culture. Every detail was handled with care, allowing me to enjoy each moment without worry. On board, the service was exceptional, the cuisine exquisite, and the evenings filled with quiet conversation and laughter. The Hebridean Princess is more than a cruise, it’s a serene journey into the heart of Scotland, where comfort, tradition, and genuine hospitality come together perfectly.

Ausgezeichnete Reiseroute in sehr schönen Orten, die ich noch nie gesehen hatte. Das Schiff ist nicht sehr modern, aber es ist für diese Reiseroute geeignet. Sehr wenige Deutsche an Bord.

Nice cruising on the Hebridean Princess, it seems like coming back thorugh the past. But service, staff and atmosphere are awesome. We also enjoyed the itinerary and the comfortable stateroom.
