Explore Scotland’s beautiful coastal pathways on an all-inclusive voyage with Hebridean Island Cruises.
Hebridean Island Cruises offers luxury voyages around Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man. They are one of the only operators dedicated to cruising the British Isles and are the perfect choice if you want to cruise in the region.
All Hebridean Island Cruises’ itineraries are aboard the 50-guest capacity Hebridean Princess, a revered vessel Queen Elizabeth II has previously chartered for The Royal Family’s private holidays.
Cruising Scotland with Hebridean
From the Northern Isles with their rich Nordic undertones to the Inner and Outer Hebrides, Hebridean Island Cruises’ itineraries have been created to take in a selection of Scotland’s many islands and islets. The places you visit with Hebridean exude an air of magic and mystery that is perhaps incomparable to any other region on Earth.
Exploring Ashore
The shore excursions offered by Hebridean Island Cruises include trips to historical landmarks, visits to hidden townships, and opportunities to explore ruins left behind by Mesolithic civilisations. Many of these are included, as are any entrance fees.
Onboard Hebridean Princess
When not exploring ashore, you will have ample time to relax aboard the wonderful Hebridean Princess. A one-of-a-kind vessel, the Hebridean Princess encapsulates everything to celebrate the joys of small-ship cruising.
Her decor echoes the warmth and friendly atmosphere of an exclusive country club. The little touches – such as the unique approach to naming the cabins and suites after Scottish islands rather than by number – are another example of what sets Hebridean Princess apart from other five-star ships of a similar size.

Hebridean Island Cruises 2025/2026
The Hebridean Island Cruises 2025 itinerary schedule features new itineraries guaranteed to delight even the most discerning traveller. From April, the Hebridean Princess will remain in Scotland, sailing a series of voyages around the Inner and Outer Hebrides. The regal vessel will head south in the summer to explore the Channel Isles, the Isles of Scilly and the historic Jurassic Coast, while autumn provides further opportunities to discover the seasonal beauty of the Scottish Highlands and islands like Tarbert, Tobermory, and Islay.
The 2026 programme of Hebridean Cruises will mirror that of 2025, with 5-to 10-night Scottish Island itineraries and extended journeys to the best of Northern Ireland and Wales. For a truly different experience, the 36-guest boutique ship Lord of the Highlights provides numerous opportunities to discover the rural beauty of the Caledonia Canal, with itineraries departing from either Oban or Inverness throughout 2026.
