Small is unique. As our guests often tell us, there is no cruising experience quite like Hebridean. A very special ambience, luxury and attention to detail, individually designed and elegant cabins, fine food and wine, good company, and that rare and indefinable extra ingredient - if this is for you, Hebridean will not disappoint you.

Small is personal. Our ships are genuinely small, the very first to coin the phrase "floating country house hotel", and with a passenger to crew ratio of almost one to one you will enjoy service which is second to none, and as individual as you are.

Small is innovative. Little-visited corners of the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Red and Arabian Seas, the Indian Ocean and the ethereal waters off the west coast of Scotland - there are still such places left - and we will take you there.

Our cruises are all-inclusive. Not an empty promise, but a Hebridean policy to reassure you that if a carefree holiday is what you desire, there need be no reason to put your hand in your pocket once on board.

All the following are included in the cost of your Hebridean cruise.

For both our ships;

All shore excursions, as featured in our brochures
House wines (including champagne) and beverages
All meals
Use of gym equipment
Port and passenger taxes
Use of ships' tenders, small boats and bicycles

and for Hebridean Spirit, venturing further afield;

Flights between UK and the ship when north of Suez
Routine medical consultations and minor treatments with our on-board doctor
Use of Spa steam and relaxation room
Transfers in turn-around ports
Snorkelling equipment

and finally, please note that we actively discourage tipping.
 

Travelling solo. Solo travellers have always been very welcome on board, with no question of feeling awkward or ill at ease. You may choose to dine with fellow single travellers at a table hosted by one of our officers, and going ashore is always a joy - accompanied by our favourite guides or an experienced Tour Manager, explore independently or join like-minded travellers for our interesting shore visits. Alternatively, spend time with a good book in a quiet corner -we have excellent on-board libraries. Whatever your approach to relaxation, enjoy the freedom to do as you choose. Both ships have cabins designed especially with single travellers in mind.
