Celebrations this week as regular guests, Jo and Pat, celebrated their 20th cruise aboard the Elizabeth G ⚓️🎉

Pat’s first cruise was in 2008 and Jo’s in 2010. It was on that first cruise in 2010 when Pat & Jo met and became life long friends 👭

As you can imagine they have many highlights over the years, here’s a few 🙌🏼

Pat ⚓️

- During a trip in 2022, whilst leaving Canna heading for the South of Mull, we spotted 1000+ common Dolphins around the Elizabeth G. They were everywhere as far as the eye could see 🐬
- Spotting the famous Orca, John Coe in 2013 near Neist Point 🖤

Jo ⚓️

- Taking her first ever trip, as it started the love of coming onboard the Elizabeth G and set a precedent for the next 15 years of travel with Pat 💙

Here’s to many more years ladies and we thank you for your continued support 🥂⚓️
