Skirting the unspoiled coastlines of Scotland’s remote sea lochs and Hebridean landscapes, St. Hilda Sea Adventures revealed its 2025 season of wildlife and specialty tours will venture to traditional island villages, ancient castles, whisky distilleries and even the famed Isle of Skye.
This family-owned and -operated small-group cruise company will offer 14 cruises and specialty experiences for 2025, ranging from St. Kilda archipelago, a series of islands known for its seabirds, to the dramatic cliffs on the Isle of Canna to the Southern Hebridean Isles of Jura, Luing, Shuna and Islay.
