Scotland’s best-selling cookbook author, Coinneach MacLeod, billed as the ‘Outlander of Scottish cooking’, will be a guest speaker and chef on two culinary-themed cruises in the Scottish Isles this year and next aboard one of the world’s smallest luxury cruise ships, Hebridean Princess.
And to whet your appetite, Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, is offering a 15 per cent saving on selected epicurean journeys aboard Hebridean Princess booked by April 30, 2026.
Cruise Traveller is the exclusive Australian representative for boutique UK cruise line, Hebridean Island Cruises, which operates the majestic Hebridean Princess. The 48-guest ship resembles a regal but cosy country house on water while showcasing the gentle pleasures of cruising with an ambience of understated elegance, sumptuous comfort, maritime tradition, refined personal service and shared conviviality.
A choice of gastronomic cruises is available in 2026 and 2027, with the elegant and beautifully small Hebridean Princess sailing amidst the castle-dotted waters of Scotland’s fretted and hauntingly beautiful coastline, and the majestic islands around Scotland such as the Hebrides, Orkneys, Shetlands and the Isle of Man.
Scottish, best-selling author and celebrity TV chef, Coinneach MacLeod, will be a special guest on two food and wine-themed cruises aboard Hebridean Princess this October and next April. The voyage next April – ‘Flavours of the Hebrides’ – is a seven-night, return journey from Oban through Scottish lochs and islands, celebrating the fresh produce and traditional dishes of Scotland, with visits to farms, oyster suppliers and distilleries as well as traditional pubs and fine dining eateries, and a champagne reception in a castle. The cruise begins on April 20, 2027, and destinations include enchanting, folklore-filled islands such as Mull, Skye, Iona and Colonsay.
* Including the 15 per cent saving if booked by April 30, 2026, fares for the seven-night culinary-themed cruise on April 20, 2027, start from £4879 per person, twin-share, in an inside cabin, and from £6834 per person, twin-share, in a seaview cabin.
