Scottish Islands

The wildly beautiful coast of Scotland is scattered with hundreds of islands and islets shaped by the relentless pounding sea and the ever-changing weather. Sublimely secluded, all are unique, forming a world apart that is little-known and accessible to the very few - yours to explore from the comfort of our delightfully small ship, Hebridean Princess. Experience their magic and mystery; revel in their rich diversity from the Firth of Clyde to the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Come and discover these precious island gems.

The summer schedule will see Hebridean Princess venture to the south coast of England, including the isles of Scilly on the Cornish coast and the Channel Islands. Some of the islands are so off the beaten track that no landing place is available. Hebridean Cruises will use their special beach landing craft for an exciting chance to wander an uninhabited island or headland. 

The effects of the Gulf Stream bring a warmth and a fertility to this region that make it quite unlike any other in the British Isles and strong connections in this remote corner of the kingdom enable Hebridean Island Cruises to arrange visits to privately owned castles and gardens.
