Hebridean Princess Welcomes You Back As Though to Your Own Home ‘Like Home but Better’ Is How She Has Been Described AUTUMN 2019 & SPRING 2020 COLLECTION Unique experiences for a few people, never something ordinary for a crowd Life on board After an energetic walk ashore, the comfort and homeliness of Hebridean Princess welcomes you back as though to your own home ‘Like home but better’ is how she has been described. The public rooms on board Hebridean Princess offer a truly cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The Tiree Lounge, with its intimate bar, is the social focal point; beautifully designed around perhaps the most extraordinary feature of the ship – a brick inglenook fireplace! Dining and cuisine It is said that sea air stimulates the appetite and it is certainly our experience that guests are eager to be taken to the very finest destinations of haute cuisine created by a talented brigade of chefs. Only the freshest and finest ingredients are used in our menu choices, most of which are procured from local suppliers; and no cruise would be complete without a traditional recital of Robert Burns’ Address to a Haggis! Going ashore On most days Hebridean Princess berths or anchors in different locations both morning and afternoon, whilst the ship’s tenders are on hand to operate a shuttle service ashore. Should you choose to wander at will, the small boats are always available to transport you back on board if the yearning for a glass of something or the pastry chef’s afternoon tea prove too hard to resist. Crew At Hebridean Island Cruises we believe it is simply not possible to look after large numbers of guests properly and give them the really personal service that differentiates an extraordinary holiday from a merely good one. That is why, on Hebridean Princess, you will find only 50 like-minded guests and no fewer than 38 crew.

  • 2Nd Millport Marine Research Symposium 2018
    Proceedings of the 2nd Millport Marine Research Symposium 2018 Proceedings of the nd 2 Millport Marine Research Symposium 1 Millport FieldProceedings Centre of the 2 nd Millport Marine Research Symposium 2018 Isle of Cumbrae Foreword Jack Lucas Facing out into the Clyde Sea from the southeast shores of the Isle of Great Cumbrae, the buildings that comprise Millport Field Centre have historic significance in the annals of marine research and education. From the early days where scientific work was conducted from a floating laboratory, through the construction of Millport Marine Biological Station in 1897 to the establishment of the Scottish Marine Biological Society in 1914; the station has been a beacon for researchers and natural historians wishing to study the properties and inhabitants of the ocean. Building on decades of pioneering work as the University Marine Biological Station Millport, FSC Millport continues to act as gateway to the marine environment for thousands of students each year and contributes to our current understanding through the hosting of international research students and collaboration with other research institutes. Since its reformation in 2014 under the banner of the Field Studies Council, one of the driving aspirations of the centre and its staff have been to pull away the veil of exclusivity that can often surround prestigious scientific institutions and open the doors to a wider variety of learners. In keeping with the FSC’s motto of ‘bringing environmental understanding to all’; the centre now provides education opportunities for all ages, from primary school residentials and high school science trips to university field courses, professional natural history courses and family holidays.
