St Kilda was settled in early prehistoric times until its hardy residents evacuated in 1930, never to return. Experience their legacy from Hebridean Princess, cruising the Inner and Outer Hebrides, on this voyage to remember.

Colonsay is your first port of call, where you explore the famous gardens of Colonsay House. On lona, absorb the spirituality of the restored Benedictine abbey where St Columba began his mission in 563 AD. Cruise to sunny Tiree to learn about the construction of the remarkable Skerryvore Lighthouse at the museum housed in the workers village at Hynish. Plot a westerly course over the Sea of the Hebrides, remarkable for its abundant marine life. Hebridean Princess makes her way to the spectacular archipelago of St Kilda a double UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruise the outer stacs, skerries and islands to anchor in Village Bay and go ashore on the main island of Hirta. Passing the mysterious Flannan Isles, round the Butt of Lewis to discover ancient history on Lewis at the standing stones of Callanish and Carloway Broch. Your panoramic tour of Harris includes a demonstration of traditional tweed-weaving. Tethered in the midst of The Minch, the Shiant Isles are teeming with seabirds, nesting on the cliffs of huge basalt columns. Following a beach landing, head for Skye and Dunvegan Castle, seat of the Clan MacLeod. Your final day is spent discovering the delights of the Small Isle of Canna and the colourful Georgian harbour of Tobermory, island capital of Mull.
