Hebridean Island Cruises has launched next year’s schedule featuring its three boutique ships.
They have released its complete 2026 schedule for their entire luxury fleet.
The company is known for delivering intimate, high-end voyages across Scotland’s Western Isles and the Caledonian Canal.
The boutique fleet includes Lord of the Glens, Hebridean Princess, and Lord of the Highlands, each offering a unique experience.
Lord of the Glens sails six and seven-night itineraries along the full Caledonian Canal route with limited public availability.
Voyages also include visits to Oban, the Isle of Mull, and on longer trips, Skye and Eilean Donan Castle.
We will be joining the boutique ship Lord of the Glens in inverness on August 4th 2025 for a voyage southwards through the canal.
Hebridean Princess offers four to nine-night cruises between March and November, departing Greenock, Oban, or Invergordon.
Her 2026 season includes themed cruises on golf, gardens, lighthouses, nature, art, cycling, and whisky.
Guest speakers
Select cruises feature guest speakers like journalist Simon Calder and wildlife broadcaster Kate Humble.
Lord of the Highlands joins the fleet following a multi-million-pound rebuild for navigating Caledonian Canal locks.
This ship will also visit the Inner Hebrides and run two special voyages to Orkney’s remote northern islands.
Themed cruises aboard Lord of the Highlands will highlight Scottish castles, Highland cuisine, walking, and wildlife.
More guest speakers
Former BBC news anchor Michael Buerk will appear as a guest speaker on selected cruises.
Managing Director Ken Charleson said the cruises offer the best of Scotland’s nature, history, and authentic culture.
All three vessels focus on small group travel with impeccable service, elegant dining, and guided excursions.
Bookings for 2026 are now open, with strong demand expected for themed sailings and Orkney adventures.
