7 Night Cruise sailing from Oban roundtrip aboard Hebridean Princess.
Walking interest cruise.
The first Footloose walking adventure of the season takes you over The Minch to the Outer Hebrides where you combine invigorating walks with visits to the outstanding historical sites these islands have to offer.
Your first port of call is the Small Isle of Canna with the opportunity to stretch your legs before sailing the Sea of the Hebrides to Barra where you berth in the shelter of Kisimul Castle. With dramatic beaches and spectacular wildlife, the beautiful Isle of Vatersay plays host to energising walks or more gentle strolls ahead of a thrilling beach landing on one of the remote Bishop's Isles. Enjoy a full day on The Uists, the walkers paradise, where beauty and tranquillity abound. Join the experienced walking guides and stride out amongst the dunes and flower-decked machair, or embark on a panoramic coach tour with a legendary Hebridean picnic lunch. Discover the contrasts of Harris on foot or by coach, this stunning island is peppered with white-sand beaches and historical treasures, plus an award-winning gin and whisky distillery. The awe-inspiring landscapes of the Trotternish on Skye are punctuated with bizarre rock formations. Discover Kilt Rock and the Old Man of Storr or lace up your boots and stride out in this rugged wilderness. Rising sheer above the plateau of Eigg, An Sgurr adds magic and mystery and offers a final challenge to intrepid walkers, or relaxing strolls are accompanied by a soundtrack of lapping waves.

Hebridean Princess is Hebridean's original vessel. Specially commissioned in 1965 for the waters of the rugged west coast of Scotland, she commenced sailing under the Hebridean Island Cruises' flag after a full refit in 1989, establishing a unique and unusual style of cruising.
Beautifully decorated in the finest quality furnishings, her relaxed, floating country house party atmosphere and impeccable service from a warm, welcoming and friendly crew have earned her an unrivalled reputation. From the starboard Conservatory to the cosy Look Out Lounge; from the luxurious Tiree Lounge to the peaceful Library or the quiet of the teak Skye Deck - the comfort of Hebridean Princess is home but better!
Just 49 guests are cared for by around 38 crew as she sails perhaps the most beautiful coastline of northern Europe, Scotland's Western Isles.
