Hebridean Island Cruises

From: European Cruise Guide

ABOVE: The Hebridean Princess.

Hebridean Island Cruises is a boutique cruise line with one one yachtlike vessel: the 49-passenger Hebridean Princess, a converted Caledonian MacBrayne ferry that cruises mostly in Scottish waters. The ship's itineraries are geared to wealthy British travelers and others who enjoy a taste of Scotland at sea.

In 2012, Hebridean Princess is cruising from March through late November, with cruises of 4 to 10 nights. (Most cruises last 7 nights.)

The company has also scheduled a series of river cruises on the Rhine and Danube aboard a chartered Dutch boat, Royal Crown, at prices higher than those charged by other British charter operators*.
