The Hebridean Princess in Portree Bay
The Hebridean Princess began life as the CalMac ferry Columba, built in 1964 for the Oban-Mull service. Following a major refit, she reappeared as the luxury cruise ship Hebridean Princess in 1989, carrying just 49 passengers. Here, she is weighing at the end of a visit to Portree, during an eight day cruise of the inner hebrides.
