The original Scottish country house afloat, Hebridean Princess re-introduced the ‘Golden age of cruising’ to the discerning traveller, a formula now extended to Hebridean Spirit.
The smallest luxury cruise ship in the world
With only 49 guests, a genuinely all-inclusive tariff, near 1:1 guest/crew ratio, first-class service and gourmet cuisine combining with stunning highland and island scenery there is no better way to cruise the Scottish Highlands, Western Isles and Norwegian Fjords.
Our Privately Escorted Tours, which take you to many small islands including Lewis, Harris, Rum, Barra and the remote and beautiful St Kilda, always make for stimulating conversation back on board ship. As does the abundance of wildlife which guests encounter; from the many seals and dolphins to rare butterflies and colonies of puffins and other birds which never fail to delight.
The understated elegance and warm country house atmosphere of Hebridean Princess are, however, her defining qualities. From the panoramic Tiree Lounge to the plush Columba Restaurant each of her public rooms and 30 spacious cabins are all beautifully designed and decorated. Lavish furnishings and fittings speak of quality, refinement and style reminiscent of another era entirely.
The following are all included in your cruise on board Hebridean Princess.

There are of course more good reasons to take a holiday on board Hebridean Princess
Single travellers
Over a quarter of Hebridean Princess' guests’ travel alone - why not join them? Specially designed cabins and no question of feeling out of it or awkward. Dine with other single travellers at an officer's table in the Columba Restaurant, take part in private tours escorted by our guide or enjoy the freedom to do as you choose.
Groups of friends
Why not invite some of your friends along on a Hebridean holiday to make up a group of ten or more and enjoy the benefit of one free holiday for the eleventh - a sizeable reduction to be shared by all?
A celebration
Celebrate that special event - a wedding anniversary or birthday - in true Hebridean style, with a bottle of champagne, continental breakfast in your cabin and a cake at dinner in the Columba Restaurant. If you are travelling with a group of friends, a private reception hosted by the Captain may also be arranged. For further information, please contact our reservations staff
