Cruise Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Oban roundtrip aboard Hebridean Princess.
Wonder at the contrasts of Scotland's Western Isles, from the wild landscapes of Lewis in the north, through the tranquil Uists to beautiful Barra in the south. Explore this Gaelic heartland, steeped in history and culture.
Cameras at the ready for a tour of the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, fully restored between 1911 and 1932 by John McRae-Gilstrap. Crossing The Minch sail to Stornoway where you unlock the secrets of ancient history at Carloway Broch and the standing stones of Callanish. Experience a beach landing on the Shiant Isles to witness the thousands of seabirds which nest here, before enjoying a demonstration of traditional craft skills at the world famous Harris Tweed. From Lochmaddy, tour North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist, visiting Barpa Langass and Pobull Fhinn, including a picnic ashore, before re-joining the ship in Lochboisdale. On Eriskay, walk in the footsteps of Bonnie Prince Charlie and enjoy refreshments in the local hostelry named after the stricken vessel S.S Politician which ran aground off the island in 1941. Embark on a panoramic tour of Barra and neighbouring Vatersay where golden beaches are fringed by sandy, wild-flower dotted machair. Your final full day allows you to enjoy a relaxing sail across the Sea of the Hebrides to the picturesque Isle of Coll for refreshing walks or cycle rides.
