Scotland is rightly proud of its reputation for its wonderful natural larder and those who produce mouth-watering creations. Join Hebridean Princess, on this gastronomic voyage, as you explore the wonderful culinary offerings of the Highlands and Islands.
After a scenic sail of the Sound of Mull enjoy a tour of Isle of Mull Cheese, the only dairy farm on the island, to learn how the local cheeses are made by hand, ahead of a visit to the most remote pub on the British mainland, The Old Forge at Inverie. Steaming into Loch Dunvegan, visit the oldest continually inhabited castle in Scotland, Dunvegan Castle and savour lunch at the world renowned Three Chimneys Restaurant. During a panoramic tour of the lunar landscapes of the Trotternish peninsula, sample locally sourced seafood at the Flodigarry Hotel. Enjoy a tour and tasting of local malt whisky and gin at the Isle of Raasay distillery, the island's first legal distillery, before sailing south under the Skye Bridge and pausing awhile to absorb the tranquility of the holy isle of lona. On Colonsay, meet the man who supplies Hebridean Princess with oysters and learn about his other passion - honey and the native black bees he keeps. The Isle of Eriska Hotel sits on a private island and offers a warm welcome and gourmet lunch. Your culinary adventure concludes with a Champagne reception at Duart Castle, hosted by Sir Lachlan MacLean, Chieftain of Clan MacLean.

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.
