As we look forward to the start of another season, our crews are busy behind the scenes completing all the necessary maintenance and refurbishment tasks required to ready the vessels to receive their first complement of guests in April.
Hebridean Princess will make a much-anticipated return to the south coast this summer with a series of seven out of area cruises which will encompass the delights of Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Wales, the English Channel coastline, the Channel Isles, Northern France and the Isles of Scilly. You can read all about the pearls of the English Channel, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, on pages 8 and 9, which we hope will tempt you to sail with us on a voyage of discovery.
In this issue of The Hebridean Times, sales manager Jonathan Moffatt reflects on his experience on board Lord of the Highlands last autumn and we shine a spotlight on Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite cause in both our cruise focus and anagram competition.
Meanwhile, we are delighted to share with you the winning images from each category in the photography competition which was launched in the last issue.
The Captain, Officers and Crew very much look forward to welcoming you on board Hebridean Princess or Lord of the Highlands this season.

Managing Director
