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 summer typically stay in the 50s. 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 perpetually stay green. The further north we travel, the colder and windier it will get. Then again, there are those perfect days in June when the sun is shining brightly and not a breath of wind to be found.

What about seasickness?

Typically, the seas in this are rather active., although the summer months are known to be calmer than other times of the year. However, for those who are 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.

Itinerary changes?

We make every effort to adhere to the itinerary. However, the weather ultimately dictates our schedule and it is possible we may have to switch landings on a certain day. Occasionally, we might have to miss a landing completely. Please know these decisions are always made based on making your safety our top priority.
