Highlights

  • Freshly prepared cuisine with local ingredients
  • Ideal for wildlife spotting and scenic views

Cruise the stunning Scottish Isles aboard the St. Hilda ship. Promising a small-ship cruise to remember, St. Hilda is an ex-Tall Ship, specially built to the highest standards for sail training; she was converted for cruising in 2007. Now, she comfortably explores the spectacular Hebridean coastline, catering to just 6 guests in 3 cozy cabins. One double and one twin cabin each have an en-suite bathroom, and the third twin cabin has a washbasin and is close to the toilet and shower room. There is a well-lit indoor salon, perfect for dining and socializing, and where delicious cuisine is served. Each day food is freshly prepared using locally sourced ingredients. The outdoor decks are ideal for wildlife spotting and taking in the surrounding scenery.

Cruises aboard the St. Hilda yacht vary from 7 to 11 days long. Explore the Sounds of Mull, Isle of Skye, and Oban. Each cruise is a fantastic journey of discovery with the chance to see incredible wildlife along the way, such as golden eagles, basking sharks, minke whales, and dolphins. Some cruises offer the chance to sample the delights of some of the most famous single malt whiskies, fantastic hiking opportunities, or even the chance to learn to sail.

You are in good hands with the professional and passionate crew whichever cruise you choose. Book online today to start planning your small-ship Scottish cruise.
