Hebridean Island Cruises is delighted to announce that the 48-guest Hebridean Princess is to star in an hour-long documentary exploring Scotland’s Highlands and islands.
Titled Scotland’s Highlands & Islands with Lewis Nunn, the documentary will premiere on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV on July 6, 2026. It is produced by Elevé in partnership with Hebridean Island Cruises, and is the brainchild of Lewis Nunn who not only presents it but is also the executive producer.
On a seven-night Botanical Wonders of the West Coast round-trip from Oban onboard Hebridean Princess, Lewis Nunn explores the Inner Hebrides, a diverse archipelago of 35 inhabited and 44 uninhabited islands off Scotland’s west coast which are renowned for their dramatic landscapes, fresh seafood, whisky and Gaelic culture.
Lewis Nunn enjoys a tasting of fresh langoustines, mussels and scallops in Oban; visits the Oban Distillery and the Colonsay Gin Distillery; takes a boat trip from Craobh Haven around the Slates Isles and Jura; joins a guided tour through the abandoned townships of Mull to learn about the Highland Clearances; saddles up on a beach horse trek in Gairloch; enjoys a tour and tasting at Loch Torridon Smokehouse; joins the proprietor of Attadale House and gardens on a private tour; and explores Raasay with one of Hebridean Princess’ guides.
Lewis Nunn says he has always felt drawn to Scotland – the Celtic heritage, deep-rooted traditions and the sense of mystery.
“So when the opportunity came up to sail around the Inner Hebrides aboard the luxury boutique cruise ship, I leaped at the chance. Sailing on Hebridean Princess wasn’t anything I could have imagined: the intimacy of it all, hopping between Scotland’s tiny islands and untouched mainland ports, from Colonsay to Gairloch, with a crew who felt more like family.
“It’s utterly convinced me that small‑ship cruising is, by far, the most extraordinary way to see Scotland.”
Ken Charleson, Managing Director of Hebridean Island Cruises, shared that the documentary captures the soul of small ship cruising in Scotland – the quiet moments, the wild beauty and the deep connection between people, place and sea.
“It’s not just about the journey through these remarkable waters, but about slowing down enough to truly experience them. We’re proud to be part of a story that reflects our passion for this beautiful destination.”
Hebridean Island Cruises has been operating luxury small ships throughout the Highlands and islands of Scotland and on the Caledonian Canal for over 35 years. With three small ships accommodating between 38 and 50 guests, the company is dedicated to providing the finest Scottish holidays afloat.
