Themed cruises
If you are bewitched by wildlife, captivated by classical music or inspired by history and architecture then one of our specially themed itineraires may appeal to you.
Classical Music and Art
Explore the Inner Hebrides and discover the landscapes which have inspired numerous artists, composers and musicians.
Food and Drink
Scotland is renowned for some of the most mouth-watering cuisine throughout the world and our gastronomic cruises will introduce you to some of the finest restaurants in the Western Isles. Visiting some of the oldest and newest distilleries in the Hebrides and the Northern Isles, we taste some of the rich malt whiskies for which the area is world-famous.
Footloose Walking
Footloose walking cruises are accompanied by three highly experienced guides, two of whom are specialist walking guides with an intimate knowledge of the terrain. These exhilarating itineraries cater for all, whether you are a seasoned walker, prefer to stroll, or wish to vary the pace from day to day.
Gardens
Relish the magnificent splendour of some of Britain’s most beautiful gardens, cossetted by the warming effects of the Gulf Stream; a true horticultural extravaganza.
History and Heritage
Scotland has a rich history and heritage. Epic landscapes were carved out by icy glaciers millennia ago, towering castles have stood for centuries and mesmerising stories, traditions and legends have been passed down for generations. Explore ancient sites that date from the Neolithic era, uncover the history of the Scottish clans or soak up the unique atmosphere of the double UNESCO World Heritage Site of St Kilda.
Wildlife
The Hebrides, one of the last untouched natural landscapes in Europe, are home to some of the finest wildlife in the world. White-tailed eagles soar over the rugged coastline, red deer roam over the moorland and otters swim off shore. The islands are also a popular bird watching destination as well as the prefect place for marine wildlife spotting.

guides No cruise on board Hebridean Princess would be complete without our specially selected guides, who have sailed with us for a number of years, contributing their particular spheres of expertise and interest to enrich your stay on board and make your holiday experience even more special.
A highly knowledgeable and experienced guide accompanies guests for the duration of each cruise, with three on Footloose walking itineraries and the wildlife cruise, always there to offer information and an occasional helping hand. Single guests can enjoy their company at dinner, when they join an Officer’s table in the Columba Restaurant. After-dinner talks, over coffee and petit fours, are enjoyable moments, outlining the next day’s activities and shedding fresh light on the unique regions through which we sail.
Enriching guest speakers
The enrichment of discovery and thrill of knowledge put Hebridean Princess cruises in a category of their own.
Our on board speakers are chosen precisely because they are among some of the best authorities in their field. Passionate about their subject, these captivating orators bring each cruise alive and are delighted to share their knowledge with their fellow guests – a true meeting of minds.
During our 2019 season Guest Speakers will accompany 6 specially selected cruises.
