We are delighted to announce that we have won the Best for Solo Travellers (Luxury Category) in the Cruise Critic 'Best in Cruise' Awards.

Here's what the Cruise Critic editors had to say...

"On a cruise earlier this year (as a couple), we were deeply impressed by the extent to which solos are catered for on arguably the U.K.’s only luxury line. As befitting the demographic, there is always a significant number of solos and they are catered for with eight dedicated solo cabins (out of 28), a standing invitation to sit at a large hosted table every night – and this welcoming of single travellers is not limited to Hebridean Princess – the line’s other two ships, Lord of the Glens and Lord of the Highlands, offer the same."

We're absolutely delighted to win this award!! Well done to the entire Hebridean Island Cruises team 👏 🚢
