Anyone still mourning the passing of Hebridean Spirit, sold off by the then Hebridean International Cruises last March, should sign up for the Mediterranean Spring cruise on Swan Hellenic next April.
The 13-day voyage on Minerva from Cadiz to Piraeus, the port for Athens, has been designated a Hebridean Spirit reunion cruise, to be joined by Marjorie Baker, former tour manager on Spirit, and Michael Smith, a former guest speaker on the ship.
The cruise is from April 7 to 19 2010 and prices start from £1,295 per person including flights, transfers and gratuities. Unfortunately it might be a Spirit reunion, but it doesn't look as if they will also include drinks in the price, as was the case with Hebridean!
For more details call 0845 246 9700 or visit the Swan website.
Hebridean International Cruises is now Hebridean Island Cruises and owned by All Leisure Group, which also owns Swan Hellenic. It operates just one ship, the 49-passenger Hebridean Princess.

Drinks not included in the fare? tsk, tsk ! Trust you to find something negative to say. It wouldn't be a Jane Archer blog post without a moan about something.

Two points. First, if people go on expecting a Hebridean experience they should know what they are getting (and not getting). Second, did it not occur that this might have been said in jest? Might not the exlamation mark have given it away?

Just got back from Adriatic cruise on Seabourn and so many of the stops, and even some of the passengers, reminded me fondly of my similar trip on Hebridean Spirit last year this time. It was a special experience.... The reunion cruise sounds like a great idea.
