7 Night Cruise sailing from Oban roundtrip aboard Hebridean Princess.

Walking interest cruise.

Answer the call of the Cuillin to discover the magic of Skye on this footloose walking adventure. Enjoy the immersive experience of the wild landscapes of the ‘Misty Isle’ and the remote Sutherland coast, rich in flora and fauna, with our knowledgeable walking guides and make memories to last a lifetime.

Capped by Askival in the rocky Cuillin, the wildlife haven of Rum is the prefect place to stride out with our guides. On the walkers’ paradise of Skye there are walks for all along the shores of Loch Scavaig, nestled at the foot of the Black Cuillin Mountains. The spectacular scenery has been the inspiration for many Scottish writers and painters.

As the more energetic face the challenge of a full day walk on the Waternish peninsula, strollers visit the MacLeod stronghold of Dunvegan Castle and are transported back in time to witness how real sheepskins are made using time honoured methods at Skyeskyns Tannery.

Walkers and strollers alike can enjoy coastal walks along the shores of Upper Loch Torridon before a relaxing cruise of Wester Ross bound for Lochinver. Join our walking guides on a full day ramble to Ullapool or observe craftspeople creating handmade pottery at Highland Stoneware, and learn the story of Ullapool’s history at the local museum.

Owned by the National Trust for Scotland, Balmacara Estate welcomes walkers of all abilities. Discover the rich natural and cultural heritage of Highland crofting amid memorable landscapes.

Returning to Skye, Armadale beckons. Explore the romantic castle ruins or follow a beautiful woodland trail with panoramic views. Cruising Loch Nevis to remote Inverie, a local ranger leads a scenic walk on the Knoydart peninsula.

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.
