Our summer, out of area cruises were blessed with warm and settled weather, with guests enjoying cocktails on the deck during the long daylight hours as we explored the south coast of England, the coast of Northern France and Belgium, and even the thrill of sailing under Tower Bridge and berthing alongside HMS Belfast on the Thames. We have now arrived at our winter home of Greenock on the River Clyde, where Hebridean Princess will undergo her 14 annual re-fit. General maintenance will be undertaken and guest cabins refurbished to ensure they all offer the same level of luxury and comfort. The winter months will also be spent planning the 2020 season of cruises and the brochure design team will be busy producing the brand-new Cruise Directory which will be launched in the spring. As always, we are endeavouring to ensure our itineraries appeal to both new and returning guests by introducing maiden ports of call, enlightening guest lecturers and exciting new themed cruises. In this issue of The Hebridean Times, guest speaker and Arts Society lecturer Stella Grace Lyons, looks forward to ‘The Romantic Main and Rhine’ cruise on board MS Royal Crown in July, and we focus on ‘Westering Home and Whisky Galore’ as Hebridean Princess returns from her Orcadian adventure to her home port of Oban in August. Our thanks to regular guest John Noorani for his feature article commemorating the centenary of the tragic sinking of HMY Iolaire on January 1st 1919. Seasons Greetings from all at Hebridean Island Cruises and we hope to welcome you on board in 2019.

Our sponsored event this year took place on Monday, 1st October where the featured author was the BBC’s World Affairs Editor, John Simpson, who reported on major events across the world for more than 25 years. A small group of Hebridean guests were able to enjoy a drinks reception with canapés in Ilkley’s Winter Gardens, before taking their front row seats on the balcony at the King’s Hall for John’s informative talk relating to his life and work. John introduced his first revelatory thriller, featuring Jon Swift who takes matters into his own hands © Memory Potifa when a politician is found dead. 2018 BouTique Cruise Line of The Year Food and Travel Magazine has been in publication for over fourteen years and has gained a reputation as a leading authority on United Kingdom travel and exploration, fun and exciting global destinations as well as authentic foods, restaurants and bars.

  • Fèis Ìle – Islay Festival 2014
    Zusammengestellt für die FOSM.de Fèis Ìle – Islay Festival 2014 http://www.islayfestival.com You can find the program of the Islay Festival on the above mentioned official website. Each distillery does list their own events and so it is quite hard to figure out what is going on for a specific date. Therefore I rearranged all of the programs and put them into one document. This one. Please go to the official website as I do not guarantee all information listed here is correct. This is only to support you. Quite a lot of events are already sold out. Last update of this document here is from 7th April 2014. I do write a whisky blog in German. Feel free to use this “guide” as a little help for your visit of the festival. Please do not redistribute this guide. You may use a link to my article on my blog instead. I wish us all a great festival and a lot of sun! The table above shows where there is a special program/event during the Festival. There are more events and the standard tours of most distilleries.

    Scottish Spring Waters For Whisky Most Spirits are enjoyed with a mixer and for many, whisky is no exception. Whisky is a complex spirit with a wonderful array of aromas and flavours which is why experts recommend opening up a dram with nothing more than a dash of pure spring water. Adding water removes the alcohol prickle and releases more aromas and flavours for greater appreciation. Waters with different chemistries will reveal different aromas and flavours in the same whisky which is one reason why experts suggest that its best to add the water that made the whisky or water from the same source as the whisky. Uisge Source waters come from specially selected private springs close to the leading distilleries in each of the main Scotch whisky regions. The chemistry of Uisge Source waters matches the chemistry of the waters used in whisky distillation in each region to make the ideal complement for your dram. We all know adding a few drops of water opens up a whisky, revealing the distinctive aromas and complex fla- vours.
