Hebridean Island Cruises Operators of Hebridean Princess & Lord of the Highlands. Member of and

We are one of the smallest and finest luxury cruise lines because of our commitment to ensuring everyone on board receives the best care and attention. Not only are Hebridean Princess and Lord of the Highlands welcoming and comfortable boutique cruise ships, but also places where lasting friendships are made. We make every cruise with us a truly unforgettable experience. The word unique is greatly

overused these days, but Hebridean Princess and Lord of the Highlands cruises are undoubtedly two of a kind. A Hebridean Island Cruise is truly unforgettable; in a world where mediocre standards are all too common, you will be assured of the best service from a hand-picked crew, for whom supreme attention to detail is the norm.

✨ Congratulations to our friends at Petals of Oban for winning the Peoples Choice wedding supplier of the year award!✨

Petals of Oban provide beautiful arrangements throughout our sailing season on board Hebridean Princess which are both admired and enjoyed by our guests and crew alike. They also supplied the beautiful posy which was presented to HRH The Princess Royal when she joined our Diamond Anniversary celebrations last year.

Congratulations again to Lynette and Alex at Petals of Oban - a well deserved award!

We may be in the final throws of refit on board Hebridean Princess but it was so good to welcome the Greenock Coastguard Rescue Team and their new members for a training exercise onboard last Friday. They do an amazing job & where possible we are happy to assist in training with the new induction group.

Join gardens expert Stefan Buczacki on our Botanical Wonders of the West Coast cruise, 6th to 13th May.

Stefan says 'The spring cruise to the Western Isles on Hebridean Princess is always the highlight of my year – and should be the highlight for anyone who admires fine horticulture and loves the scenic glories that Scotland has to offer. We visit some of the most spectacular and alluring gardens in the British Isles - gardens warmed by the Gulf Stream with deep, rich, acidic soils that support a matchless variety and richness of plants. From the idiosyncrasy of one woman’s astonishing personal achievement at Lip na Cloiche on Mull to the Macpherson family’s exquisite home at Attadale, nestling on the edge of the mainland, every visit, every garden conjures up delights to entrance and inspire everyone whether experienced gardener, raw beginner or just someone who appreciates natural beauty.'

Over the past few years the event has been held by means of a glittering ceremony at the RAC Club, Pall Mall, London. But on Thursday evening (4th March) a virtual event, containing as much anticipation, was staged. We were thrilled to be crowned Boutique / Adventure Cruise Line of the Year for the fourth time. Our Business Development Manager, Hannah Cockell, was delighted to accept the award on behalf of everybody at Hebridean Island Cruises. You can view Hannah's acceptance speech in the video below and we would like to thank everyone who voted for us as well as our great friends at Food and Travel Magazine.
