Hebridean Island Cruises operates the luxury cruise ship Hebridean Princess. Carrying a maximum of 50 guests, she cruises mainly around the west coast of Scotland and the Western Isles, but also cruises to Ireland, the Isle of Man, Orkney, Shetland, Norway, the south coast of England, northern France, Belgium and the Channel Islands. The company also operates a selection of enchanting European river cruises on board the 1930's style river cruiser, Royal Crown. Hebridean Princess and Hebridean's European river cruises on board Royal Crown are undoubtedly two of a kind. Our excellent crew has earned us a world-class reputation for unbeatable service, together with fine food and wine and an attention to detail no longer common in the present era of mass travel. The majority of our guests are repeat travellers and their trust and confidence are not easily won and so we work hard to ensure that a Hebridean cruise is the most relaxing, stress-free and therapeutic experience you will ever enjoy. On board you will find none of the brash garishness so often associated with cruising. Instead, we welcome our guests into an atmosphere where congenial company mixes with an anticipation of discovery; where service and comfort are paramount and where our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides are a fount of knowledge on the places we visit. Both Hebridean Princess and Royal Crown echo the company philosophy that “small is personal”, giving a small number of guests the very special Hebridean Experience of luxury cruising to off-the-beaten track or unusual destinations. Our cruises are all-inclusive. Not an empty promise, but a Hebridean policy to ensure you have a carefree holiday, both on board and ashore. The tariff includes meals, snacks, wines, spirits, beers, soft drinks, tea and coffee, all shore visits, use of ship’s bicycles, gym equipment, fishing tackle, taxes, gratuities and for the Hebridean River Cruises programme return air or rail travel.
