Inclusions Autumn is undoubtedly the best season to see the North West of Scotland decked out in all her finery as leaves turn to copper, bronze and ruby before they fall. Sailing through awe-inspiring scenery into secluded lochs of sapphire and turquoise, indulge to the full in its immeasurable richness – refreshing walks, abundant wildlife, centuries of history and the reassuring comfort of Hebridean Princess.

Settle into life on board as you round Ardnamurchan to Canna, a green and fertile isle, dubbed the `Garden of the Hebrides`, before arriving at Armadale on Skye where the fascinating Clan Donald Centre sheds light on centuries of clan history. Explore the rocky, walkers paradise of Raasay, where welcome refreshments are served at Raasay House and a tour of the local distillery offers a warming dram. Onwards to colourful Portree, steeped in an eventful Jacobite and Clearance past. Delight in the tranquility of Plockton, the `Jewel of the Highlands`, wrapped idyllically around a sheltered bay with magnificent views of Loch Carron. No Scottish castle is more photographed than Eilean Donan, seat of the MacKenzies, rebuilt in the 20th century on its scenic ancient site.

After a relaxing sail of Loch Hourn and Loch Nevis into wild Knoydart, stroll at Inverie to experience its remoteness, still unconnected to the road network of mainland Britain. Enjoy a drink at the Old Forge, one of the few community-owned pubs in Scotland. The Small Isle of Eigg is a breathtaking spot for walks, peaceful beneath lofty An Sgurr. Go ashore at Salen on the Ardnamurchan peninsula for walks through beautiful ancient oak woodlands close to the shores of Loch Sunart. Immerse yourself in the romantic wilderness of the 14,000 acre coastal estate of Kingairloch, where deer, pine martens, eagles and otters are regularly sighted. Tiny Kerrera was once a stepping stone for cattle drovers between Mull and the mainland and hosts our final foray ashore.
