    The Scottish Hebrides aboard the Spitsbergen

    28 April–8 May 2025 · Scottish Hebrides

    Spitsbergen · HX

    From April 28 to May 8, 2025, we sailed HX's Spitsbergen round trip from Fairlie through the Scottish Hebrides. We e-biked Islay's Three Distilleries Pathway, walked the abandoned village on St Kilda, stood among the Callanish Stones and took a Zodiac to Fingal's Cave on Staffa, with red squirrels, gannets and puffins along the way.
