A shout-out to Steve, our brilliant onboard chef!

We’re still not quite sure how he does it – cooking up incredible meals day after day, night after night from the tiniest galley kitchen you’ve ever seen. But somehow, every dish is a winner.

Here’s to full bellies, happy guests, and Steve working his magic at sea!

North Rona. Sula Sgeir.

Some of the most remote and spectacular places in the British Isles and the highlights of one of our recent cruises.

It was a special one. Wild seas, incredible wildlife, and the chance to step ashore on North Rona to visit its lighthouse and soak up the island’s beauty. Sula Sgeir’s gannet colony was as unforgettable as ever.

Huge thanks to Ellie Hawcutt for sharing some of her stunning shots with us, we’ve included a few favourites here.

We’re heading back in 2026. If this kind of adventure speaks to you, now’s the time to book - find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/41bGo19

We’re really looking forward to this one!

This September, we’re setting off on a special cruise that ties in with the Hebridean Whisky Festival – sailing from Oban to Harris and visiting some of the most iconic distilleries in the islands along the way.

We’ll be stopping at Torabhaig, Talisker, Benbecula, North Uist, and finishing at Harris Distillery in time for the festival finale.

It’s a brilliant way to experience the festival – by sea, at a slower pace, with time to explore the islands (and spot some incredible wildlife while we're at it).

We’ve only got a few spaces left, so if it sounds like your kind of trip, we’d love to have you aboard, find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/4maKK0B

Our latest cruise – what a week!

We've just returned from an unforgettable week aboard Hjalmar Bjorge, expertly guided by wildlife photographer and naturalist Chris Gomersall. Setting off from Oban, we explored Loch na Droma Buidhe, Lochmaddy, the Shiants, Caolas Scalpay, Canna, Lunga, Gometra and Loch Spelve – before returning to Oban, tired but very happy!

The wildlife didn’t disappoint. From white-tailed and golden eagles to puffins, storm-petrels, corncrake and even a minke whale – every day brought something special. Common and grey seals, porpoises, dolphins, and a red deer or two made appearances too.

We also enjoyed some cracking weather, dramatic scenery, peaceful anchorages, and a lovely bunch of guests who made the whole trip even better.

Thanks to everyone who joined us – here are a few favourite photos to share some of the magic.

Fancy joining us on a cruise? Our 2026 cruise schedule is now live and we have some very limited availability for 2025 (find out more on our website - https://bit.ly/3GOoJ8X).

Sail into the spirit of the Hebrides!

This September, we're offering something a bit special — a cruise from Oban to Harris that follows the latter half of the Hebridean Whisky Festival 2025.

Running from 8th–14th September, this relaxed, whisky-rich adventure aboard the Hjalmar Bjorge takes in distillery visits to Torabhaig, Talisker, Benbecula, North Uist, and ends with the festival finale at the Isle of Harris Distillery.

Along the way there’ll be tastings, behind-the-scenes tours, island walks, incredible food, and chances to spot whales and dolphins – all in the company of a small group of like-minded travellers.

7 out of 8 of our cruises bound for St Kilda over the past two seasons made it there and some stayed for 2 nights, giving guests a full day on the island.

That’s a stat we’re proud of, and one that anyone familiar with these waters will know isn’t easy to achieve.

Our St Kilda cruises are always among our most popular, and it’s easy to see why. Remote island landscapes, remarkable wildlife, and the fascinating history of St Kilda make for a truly unforgettable expedition.

Bookings are now open for 2026. Our Focus on St Kilda cruise is already almost fully booked, and our St Kilda and the Shiants cruise, departing and returning from Ullapool, is one not to miss. Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/40r1CaW

We were delighted to have Gill Stevens join us on one of our cruises last month and even more so when she shared a brilliant day-by-day account of her trip. From breathtaking scenery and wildlife encounters to life on board and daily adventures ashore, Gill’s blog offers a real flavour of what it’s like to explore with us.

Ever fancied a wee adventure around Mull and its surrounding islands – but don’t have time for a full week away?

We’ve got a 4-night cruise setting off on 17th June, taking in the wildlife and beauty of the Inner Hebrides. Expect puffins on Lunga, the calm of Iona, and time to relax and enjoy the views.

It’s a lovely introduction if you’ve never tried a small-ship cruise before – or perfect if you just want a few days to switch off and explore.

£1,160 per person. Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3ZHbQ6P
