Voyage Itinerary

1 August

Setting sail from Invergordon

Invergordon's deep natural harbour makes it a popular jumping off point for the Scottish Highlands, and most cruise ship visitors will head inland on excursions to Loch Ness, Culloden battlefield or the nearby city of Inverness, capital of the Highlands.

Invergordon, Scotland

2 August to 3 August

United Kingdom: Kirkwall (Orkney Islands)

The flat, windswept Orkney Islands, just off the northeast coast of Scotland, have a distinctive Scandinavian heritage that’s discernible in everything from the unusual place names to the ancient Norse architecture of the capital, Kirkwall. Don’t miss the Ring of Brodgar, a fascinating Neolithic stone circle.

United Kingdom: Lerwick

Lerwick is the only town of any size in the Shetland islands, and originally grew up around the herring trade.

7 August

United Kingdom: Westray

Westray is the largest of Orkney’s Northern Islands, and has a fascinating archaeological heritage. Key sites include the Quoygrew Viking longhouse, the 12th-century Cross Kirk and St Mary’s church in Pierowall, home of the Westray Heritage Centre and the remarkable Westray Stone, a Neolithic carving dating back more than 4,000 years.

United Kingdom: Stromness

Stromness is the second biggest town in the Orkney Islands, an atmospheric and friendly place with a proud seafaring heritage. Enjoy local music in a cosy pub, explore independent shops and galleries or head out to one of the nearby prehistoric sites, such as the intriguing Ring of Brodgar.

9 August

United Kingdom: Scrabster

This little village on the north coast of Scotland is an important fishing port, and a ferry runs between Scrabster and Stromness in the Orkney Islands. Munitions were shipped from here to Scapa Flow during the Second World War, and nearby attractions include the historic Castle of Mey.

The ship

Hebridean Princess

Capacity:
48 Guests
Crew:
38 Staff
Style:
Like a cosy and comfortable pair of slippers, Hebridean Princess envelops you the moment you step aboard. It feels like your best friend's welcoming Scottish home - with food and drink to match.

We know of no ship quite like this one; a tiny little gem, dedicated to Scotland and all things Scottish, this Princess is fit for a queen!

What we love

A single ship with just 48 guests and in operation for only nine months of the year - hardly viable in the modern day, you would think - and when you step aboard you will also feel as if you have been swept into a bygone age, when kindness was key. A one word descriptor? Charm, perhaps. But that only begins to cover what is special about Hebridean Princess.
