We’re delighted to share that our Flavours of the Hebrides itinerary on board Hebridean Princess has been shortlisted for Culinary Cruise Route of the Year at Olive Magazine’s inaugural Travel&Taste Awards.
The shortlist, announced by olive magazine on 3rd August 2026, celebrates the world’s best food-first travel experiences, curated by the magazine’s editors alongside a panel of specialist guest judges. Flavours of the Hebrides was selected by guest judge James Litston as one of just four itineraries shortlisted in the Culinary Cruise Route of the Year category, alongside voyages from Havila Voyages, HX Expeditions and Oceania Cruises.
This week-long voyage takes guests on a gastronomic tour of Scotland’s west coast, pairing spectacular island scenery with artisan tastings, renowned restaurants and the finest local producers — from Mull cheese and Islay whisky to oysters straight from the water on Colonsay, all served with the warm hospitality we are known for, all accompanied by the Hebridean Bkaer, Coinneach MacLeod.
Winners will be announced on 2nd September 2026, and we’ll be cheering Flavours of the Hebrides on every step of the way.
With cabins now limited on our next Flavours of the Hebrides departure, 20th –27th October 2026, round trip from Oban, there’s never been a better time to book. Guests who reserve their place will enjoy a saving of 20% off brochure fares, plus a free travel package.
