The former car ferry is now the epitome of luxury

Queen charters Princess again
...holidaymakers booted say press...




According to press stories, HM The Queen has chartered the tiny cruise ship, HEBRIDEAN PRINCESS for two weeks, forcing the cancellation of bookings made by other passengers.


The Daily Record says the Queen has spent 300,000 GBP for a fortnight's sailings starting in late July.


According to the paper this means that sixty passengers who had booked for this period have been offered alternatives.


All Leisure Group, who now own the vessel, said that they could not divulge who the charter is for. A spokesman for the Queen declined to make any comments.

The HEBRIDEAN PRINCESS is a familiar sight in Scottish coastal waters, and was once a MacBrayne's car ferry, before being converted for her current role.
