The Tiree Lounge & Bar
The Tiree Lounge, with its intimate bar, is the social focal point; beautifully designed and filled with soft armchairs and welcoming sofas providing cosy areas grouped around perhaps the most extraordinary feature of the ship – a brick inglenook fireplace!
The Library
In the peaceful wood-panelled Library a masculine feel has been created, using leather, unique upholstery and dark woods and should a spot of solitude appeal, there is a fine selection of reference and general interest books to be enjoyed.
Look Out Lounge
The soft tones furnishing the Look Out Lounge flow seamlessly from the colour palette in the foyer areas, creating a relaxing space to take in the stunning views.
The Conservatory
Painted, rattan furniture brings a casual feel to the Conservatory and the natural look has been complemented by the beautifully restored teak flooring. A wonderfully calm space to enjoy the scenery.
Boat Deck
The Boat Deck on Hebridean Princess is where the best views of Scotland can be enjoyed. Out here in the fresh air, get close to nature or savour a glass of whisky whilst absorbing the ever-changing panorama. Rugged coastlines and dramatic landscapes combine to create a dramatic backdrop to our luxury Scottish island cruises.
Skye Deck
The Skye Deck, at the aft end of the Promenade deck, offers a panoramic outdoor space to enjoy cocktails before lunch or perhaps a deck barbecue. Five individually designed and elegant cabins are also located on this deck, two with private balconies so providing intimate outdoor space to enjoy fresh air and stunning seascapes.
Enrichment
Engaging Shore Visits
There is no need to decide in which tours and visits you would like to participate as these are all included, as are fishing trips and speedboat rides, which can be arranged on request
Bicycles
Should you wish to invigorate yourself and explore independently, why not take one of the ship’s modern bicycles ashore and enjoy the stunning scenery of the islands, many of which are traffic-free.
Going Ashore
On most days Hebridean Princess berths or anchors in different locations both morning and afternoon, whilst the ship’s tenders are on hand to operate a shuttle service ashore. Manned by our experienced able-bodied seamen, they are always ready to offer a friendly word of reassurance and a steadying hand. Should you choose to wander at will, the small boats are always available to transport you back on board if the yearning for a glass of something or chef’s afternoon tea prove too hard to resist.
Some of the islands we visit are so off the beaten track that no landing place is available. We will then use our special beach landing craft for an exciting chance to wander an uninhabited island or headland.
Our long-standing connections in this remote corner of the kingdom enable us to arrange visits to privately owned castles and gardens, with an opportunity to talk to the owners and enjoy the different dimension of a visit that is utterly personal.
A highly knowledgeable and experienced guide, with three guides on our Footloose walking itineraries and two on selected themed cruises, will accompany your visits ashore. Whether exploring remote islands and historic sites, or simply taking in the magnificent scenery on board, you will appreciate their knowledge and insight of the spectacular areas through which Hebridean Princess cruises. The guide’s evening talk is a convivial get-together in the lounge after dinner – and an ideal opportunity to relax over coffee or a digestif and mingle, whilst learning more of the tantalising places to come.
In addition to our usual range of activities, the more adventurous can enjoy speedboat rides, fishing trips or cycling ashore on the ship’s bikes, all of which can be arranged on request.
Themed Cruises
If you are bewitched by wildlife, inspired by Scottish food and drink or fascinated by history and architecture then one of our specially themed itineraries may appeal to you.
In 2026 our themed cruises will also include gardens, golf, cycling and a brand new cruise designed around lighthouses. Indulge your passion in the company of like-minded guests.
Guides and Guest Speakers
Knowledgeable guides accompany all cruises, both on board and on the tours ashore. Renowned guest speakers feature on selected cruises; passionate about their subject, these captivating orators bring each itinerary to life.
Enriching Guest Speakers

After-dinner talks outline the next day’s activities and shed fresh light on the unique regions through which we sail.

Not included

Animals
We regret that no animals are permitted on board the vessel other than assistance dogs accompanying disabled passengers.
Communications
There are iPads in the Library and Wi-Fi access is available.
Mobile phones should be switched to silent in public rooms. The cellular system in the cruising areas can be somewhat patchy and reception can be irregular.
Special Diets
We can cater for most dietary preferences, with the exception of strict kosher and one or two other regimes. Special requests should be included in the PreCruise Questionnaire issued before your cruise begins; our reservations staff will be pleased to advise you.
Disabled Facilities
If wheelchair users wish to cruise with us, they must be accompanied by a fare-paying able-bodied companion to assist them on board and ashore. Wheelchair access may be limited. Entrances to the vessel have raised coamings and almost all cabins have a raised lip or step from bedroom to bathroom. Please note that bedroom doors are no wider than 70cm. As the vessel does not carry a supply of narrow wheelchairs for general use, guests should check that their own chair is of a suitable width.
Dress and Footwear
Daytime: During the day dress is casual. It is advisable to bring suitable clothing for the area in which you will be cruising.
Evening: For dinner in the evening, guests prefer to dress more formally, with a jacket and tie for gentlemen and the equivalent for ladies. Gala evenings: The recommended dress code for Gala evenings is black tie for gentlemen and evening wear for ladies.
On these evenings, the Officers will wear formal dress. The number of Gala evenings depends on the length of the cruise, but as a guideline, two formal Gala Dinners will be held during a seven-night cruise.
Footwear: Non-slip shoes should be worn on deck and in the ship’s small boats when going ashore. Some cruises visit remote locations where heavy-soled shoes or walking boots are recommended for shore visits and serious walking.
‘Footloose’ walking cruises: In addition to walking boots, we recommend that guests protect themselves against the unpredictable weather with waterproof clothing; we would stress that jeans are considered unsuitable. A reasonably sized rucksack would also be useful.
Fitness On Board and Ashore
Many of our visits ashore call for reasonable walking ability if guests are to gain maximum enjoyment from the cruise. As many are to lesser-known and remote places, there are frequently landing stages, steps, slopes and rough ground to contend with. We therefore reserve the right not to take a guest on a particular visit if we feel that it would be beyond his or her capabilities or might affect the enjoyment of fellow guests. If you are uncertain of your ability to participate in these activities, please contact our reservations team to discuss the route in detail before confirming your booking. Those requiring wheelchairs and/or regular assistance in order to participate in shore visits must be accompanied by a fare-paying, able-bodied companion to assist them.
Children
We regret that children under the age of 12 cannot be accommodated.
Medical Facilities
Guests are advised to pack all necessary medical supplies, as our ports of call are generally off the beaten track and may lack facilities. If guests intend to bring any electrical or electronic medical equipment, they should first check with our reservations team that it is compatible with the ship’s 240v electricity supply.
Hebridean Princess does not carry a doctor as she is never far from land. Guests should ensure that, to their knowledge, they are fit to take a holiday during which immediate medical assistance may not be available.
Arrangements to consult a doctor on land can be made at relatively short notice and assistance can be summoned quickly in the event of an emergency. Any medical and repatriation costs will be charged to the guest’s account.
The ship’s Officers are trained in first aid and a comprehensive medical supply is kept for emergency use.
Sea Changers
Hebridean Island Cruises and our guests have been supporting the marine conservation charity SeaChangers for over a decade and have contributed well over £40,000 in that time, to support the charity’s varied community based marine conservation activities, including many projects in and around the islands of Scotland. The partnership continues and as Hebridean has introduced online booking, guests now have an opportunity to donate £10 as part of the booking process. If you would like to support the marine environment further, you can make an online Gift Aided donation here: www.cafdonate.cafonline.org/24698
