The ship and expedition staff were the most professional and informative group. They all worked well together and went out of their way to interact with the passengers. The best part about the team was how quickly they adjusted to weather conditions. This allowed us to not miss out on our landings and expeditions. Read the full review

We were really pleased with the wonderful support from Swoop, and the wealth of information provided by them. We appreciated Swoop's help in recommending Hebridean Sky as it proved to be the perfect trip for us. We especially loved the excursion nature and scientific approach of the voyage. The food and wine was of a high standard and there was plenty of both variety and quantity.

Our trip truly exceeded our expectations. We've been on many cruises, but the Hebridean Sky was without a doubt our favorite ship. The food was by far the best of any cruise line we've traveled on in the past. Very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Onboard lectures were very informative and useful.

The expedition staff were all super professional and top in their field. They were very personable as well. It was nice to have the option to snowshoe on one day and go out on the science boat on another.

The rooms were top rate and food superb. The captain chose the times re Drake passage and avoided the storms. The boat staff were all efficient, courteous and kept the boat immaculate. Best cruise we have done.

Hebridean Sky is a 5 star experience all the way. The boat was outstanding, as was the friendly and helpful crew. It felt like somebody was there with anything I could have needed - they were at least two steps ahead of me at all times.

I've been onboard the Hebridean Sky and have to say it's rare to find a ship which combines such comfort, classy suites and great food with an outstanding expedition team - worth every penny.
