Luxury, small ship & river cruises as individual as you are.

Hebridean Island Cruises has been setting the benchmark for luxury cruising since 1989. Our small, five star luxury cruise ship, Hebridean Princess, affords guests the highest standards of accommodation, together with a level of service from an almost forgotten era.

Each all-inclusive cruise is carefully planned by our own highly experienced researchers, whose brief is to capture the cultural essence and historical significance of each port of call.

2013 will be another momentous occasion for the company as we celebrate the “Silver Anniversary” of Hebridean Princess when she embarks on her 25^th cruising season.  It was in May 1989 that Hebridean Princess first set sail in her now very familiar blue and white livery, providing guests on her inaugural cruise, with the same attentive service and attention to detail which is now synonymous with Hebridean Island Cruises.

Throughout this very special season Hebridean Princess will undertake three of her inaugural cruises, replicating the itineraries as closely as possible to those sailed 25 years ago:

*  The Islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides

*  The Islands of the Inner Hebrides

*  St Kilda, the Inner & Outer Hebrides and the Small Isles

A myriad of new cruises will also be available in 2013, including four wonderful Footloose walking itineraries amongst the twenty-one new routes available along with many old favourites which still feature throughout the season.

River cruising in 2013

2013 sees the launch of the second season of Hebridean River Cruises on the great rivers of Europe on board Hebridean’s Royal Crown.

A Choice of Rivers - Owing to the popularity of the 2012 river cruises programme we have increased the number of sailings from four to five in 2013 to include the Main and the Rhine-Main-Danube canal in addition to the Rhine and Danube rivers.

Having undergone an extensive renovation in 2010, the luxurious river boat will cruise on the Rhine-Main-Danube canal and on the Rhine and Danube rivers during the spring and autumn of 2013 operating five 7-night itineraries.
