Luxury small ship cruising company Hebridean Island Cruises has unveiled a plaque on board Hebridean Princess to celebrate being granted a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty The Queen. The warrant — for the provision of Cruise Holidays — came into effect from Jan. 1. Hebridean Island Cruises will be the only travel brand currently with a Royal Warrant from The Queen. The 50-guest Hebridean Princess offers unique four- to 10 night itineraries in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and Ireland, and has been chartered on two separate occasions by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and members of her family (in 2006 and 2010).
