If you wish to explore the beautiful islands surrounding Scotland in luxury and style there really is no better way to do it than onboard the five-star Hebridean Princess. Sailing around one of the most beautiful landscapes in northern Europe, you can choose to cruise around a number of different paths on the Scottish coast, taking in many of its islands, including the Orkneys, Shetlands, St Kilda, Skye, the Summer Isles, Shiant Isles, Lewis and Barra. And with almost 800 islands surrounding Scotland, the list certainly doesn't end there. Perhaps the most famous are the Orkney Islands, some of the easiest isles to navigate and a popular destination with holidaymakers looking to get back to nature or find out more of the history of the landmarks. One of the most popular attractions is Skara Brae - an ancient prehistoric village that is believed to be the best preserved in all of Western Europe and a place that was inhabited long before the Egyptians laid the first stone of the Pyramids. Across the waves lie the Shetland Islands, another holiday hotspot and you will also find plenty to see and do here, not least the chance to indulge in a bit of nature spotting. The island group is home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, hares, stoats and hedgehogs, along with a whole host of birdlife. Look to the skies or cliff tops to see if you catch a glimpse of guillemots, shags, puffins or curlews. Perhaps most exciting is the chance you will have to look out for marine animals as you cruise the waters onboard the Hebridean Princess. Seals are a common sight and often come to the surface when their curiosity gets the better of them, while you may even spot whales, dolphins or killer whales on your trip. One stop you may certainly wish to make time for is St Kilda. This beautiful group of isles are on the Unesco World Heritage list and it may seem to you that they are frozen in a bygone era. With a tiny population, the main island was evacuated in 1930, but since then much work has been carried out to preserve the ancient buildings that lie here. And once the sun sets, you can head back onboard the cruiser, which is beautifully decorated, while the cabins are unusually large. You will certainly not be disappointed if you chose the Hebridean Princess to take you around the Scottish islands. The aim of Luxury Scotland is to provide you with a unique and exciting way to explore this beautiful country, such as onboard the Hebridean Princess. By booking a trip on the Hebridean Princess, you can explore the many islands that surround Scotland's coast while relaxing in five-star luxury.
