A wild and untamed country stretching across dramatic countryside, from undulating farmland in the South and East, to the spectacular highlands and islands in the West where the craggy coastline, rises up to rugged mountains divided only by sparkling lochs and rivers. The West Coast of Scotland is one of the wildest, sparsely populated parts of Europe. However, there is such a varied choice of cruising and sailing in Scotland, you have the chance to visit these remote parts and experience the outstanding countryside, and the benefit is that by boat or even a cruise liner you get a completely unique perspective of this ancient and beautiful landscape.

A successful blend of cosmopolitan style and old-fashioned courtesy has provided guests with the perfect holiday combination of pure relaxation and stimulating destinations since Hebridean Spirit's first sailing in 2001. Itineraries are painstakingly researched with the discerning traveller in mind and exploring in small groups, we are often able to provide access to places normally off the tourist map, giving you an insider's view of the culture, history and modern day ambience of regions as diverse as Norway and the Black Sea; South Africa and The Indian Ocean; and the many hidden facets of the Mediterranean. With low-key entertainment, the emphasis is very much on informality, affording plenty of time for relaxation and the re-discovery of simple pleasures, including the gentle art of conversation. And for those who enjoy the spirit of discovery, guest speakers and local guides are on hand to satisfy your curiosity. Elegant public rooms are matched by our luxurious and individually designed cabins. Spacious and well-appointed, you will find your cabin an oasis of comfort with a fine attention to detail you would expect of a 5 star hotel on land.
