Things that make this trip unique
One could spend a lifetime visiting the extraordinary sites the United Kingdom has to offer, each village, each castle, each island, and each sheep(!) is slightly different than the one before. This tour includes some of our fiber favorites such as St Kilda, North Ronaldsay, and Fair Isle with the addition of the unmistakable multi-horned Manx Loghtan on the Isle of Man. We also spend the day on Guernsey Island known for its storied cattle and magnificent gardens plus a visit to Lundy, a remote island in the Bristol Channel with its towering cliffs and Sika deer.
This is truly an expedition! We will rely on Zodiacs to access most of our destinations but then it will be up you as to how much walking, hiking, or casual meandering you want to enjoy. There will be plenty of wildlife—birds by the millions, and small towns to explore. And there is always the option to spend a tranquil afternoon on deck with a good book, a fresh scone and a saltwater breeze.

This tour genuinely has universal appeal.
Hebridean Sky
Hebridean Sky is the ideal expedition ship. She is small enough (just 59 cabins) to offer an intimate environment but sturdy enough for the open waters of the North Atlantic.
Every cabin is beautifully appointed along with an elegant dining room, a more casual outdoor restaurant on the Lido deck, and delectable tea service every afternoon.
Everyone who sails on Hebridean Sky loves her.
Questions and Answers
What's the weather like?
Temperatures in early summer vary from the 70s in the south to the 50s in the north. However, the damp ocean air often makes it feel cooler. Rain is not only possible, it's all but guaranteed. Why else does the grass stay perpetually stay green. The further north we travel, the colder and windier it will get. Then again, there are those perfect days when the sun is shining bright and not a breath of wind to be found.
What about seasickness?
Typically, the spring and summer months are calmer than other times of the year. However, for those who prone to seasickness, advance preparedness is the key.
If this is an expedition, what are the physical requirements?
Each person must be ambulatory, The amount of walking or hiking is at the sole discretion of the individual and may limit access to certain destinations. If walking long distances or along uneven surfaces is problematic, hiking poles are strongly recommended.
