1 Hebridean Princess and Hebridean European River CRUISE COLLECTION 2016 By appointment to HM The Queen Provision of cruise holidays on Hebridean Princess All Leisure Holidays Ltd, trading as Hebridean Island Cruises

2 HEBRIDEAN RIVER CRUISES the relaxing and peaceful way to cruise THE RHINE, MOSELLE, SAAR AND DANUBE RIVERS As Hebridean River Cruises approaches its fifth year of operation, we have gained an enviable reputation for offering exceptionally well planned and genuinely fully-inclusive itineraries on the rivers of Europe. The 2016 Hebridean River Cruises programme takes us to the Danube, Rhine, Moselle and Saar, where enchanting towns and romantic cities enhance our voyages of exploration. We are also venturing further east than ever before, cruising to the heart of the Danube Delta and to the shores of the Black Sea.

3 HEBRIDEAN PRINCESS the unique and elegant way to cruise THE HIGHLANDS & ISLANDS Of SCOTLAND, NORTHERN IRELAND & THE ISLE Of MAN Granted a Royal Warrant in 2012, Hebridean Princess is undoubtedly one of a kind. A Hebridean cruise is truly unforgettable; in a world where mediocre standards are all too common you will be assured of the best of service from a hand-picked crew, for whom supreme attention to detail is the norm. After exploring ashore, the comfort and homeliness of Hebridean Princess welcomes you back as though to your own home; and that is how we, and more importantly our guests, like to think of this unusual little ship. Like home but better is how she has been described.

6 Since 1989 we have taken pleasure in sharing our local knowledge with our guests and introducing them to some of the most striking locations in Europe. Romantic castles; tranquil, spectacular lochs; wide open spaces and seldom-visited anchorages. Our collection of itineraries caters for most passions with the promise of a nip of whisky and a fine meal at the end of each visit ashore. Life on board After being ashore, the comfort and relaxed ambience of Hebridean Princess welcomes you back as though to your own home. The Tiree Lounge, with its intimate bar, is the social focal point of Hebridean Princess; beautifully designed and filled with soft armchairs and cosy sofas grouped around perhaps the most extraordinary feature of the ship a brick inglenook fireplace! Like home but better is how Hebridean Princess has previously been described. 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 On board Hebridean Princess you will find only 50 like-minded guests and no fewer than 38 crew to look after you. Everything we do receives the same level of care and attention; from the carefully conceived shore visits to the spectacular overnight anchorages, the exquisite menus and the unique and individually designed cabins. Discreet service is the bedrock of our reputation and the uncannily accurate anticipation of your needs is a skill that our crew has developed into almost an art form. 4 Hebridean Princess
