Scottish Highlands and Islands named in Lonely Planet's Top 10 Best Regions to Visit in 2019

The wild landscapes of Scotland's Highlands and Islands are one of the last corners of Europe where you can discover genuine solitude.



Since the 19th century the Scottish Highlands have been famed for their wild nature and majestic scenery. Visitors are faced with awe-inspiring vistas at every turn from white sand beaches, soaring peaks, magnificent castles and uninhabited islands.  What better way to see all this and more than from the comfort and luxury of the floating country house hotel, Hebridean Princess?  The dramatic backdrop of ever-changing scenery is enhanced by our legendary personal service, superb cuisine lovingly created from locally sourced produce accompanied by specially selected wines and, of course, the best Scottish Malt Whiskies.  These ingredients make a Hebridean Princess cruise a uniquely memorable experience.



As the only UK destination included in the Lonely Planet Best in Travel Top 10, the Scottish Highlands and Islands are home to hundreds of iconic locations, attractions and experiences, many of which can be visited during a Hebridean Princess cruise. Encapsulating centuries of history, culture and traditions, the Isle of Skye and the Outer Hebrides have been identified as just some of the reasons to visit.
