New UK tours - St Kilda trip report

None

Prior to the pandemic, Limosa ran a number of tours in the UK and we are delighted to announce that we plan to reintroduce many of these over the coming months. The first to go on sale is our 10-day cruise to St Kilda which also explores the Hebrides with potential landings on islands such as Canna, Rum, Skye, Shiant Isles and Lewis. We sail on the comfortable expedition ship Seahorse II.

Limosa guide Christopher Hall has just returned from leading a group and report that “it was a spectacular trip and Saint Kilda should be on everyone's bucket list”. Christopher was also very complimentary about the crew, food and vessel.

Only two semi-ensuite cabins remain and for more details about the trip, please click here.
