It's all very well if we tell you how much you'll enjoy one of our holidays...what really matters is what our guests think. All the comments on our website are genuine and are kept on file at the offices of Northern Light Charters. Here's an email received from Jill, a guest from overseas, in 2002. It is quite lengthy but if you read it all you'll see why we were pleased to be so favourably compared to our competitors.

I just got back from a very different sort of visit to Scotland - a walking holiday in the Cape Wrath area run by one of the better known companies specializing in this type of thing. This is the first time I have had another kind of all-inclusive, small-group holiday to compare with what you and Mark offer. [ read whole review ]

Jill - who has now undertaken many other small group specialist holidays - reckons we are still one of the best. She even wrote a review on independent website "Extra Mile Scotland" which recognises companies whose services "exceed expectations" and literally go the extra mile for their guests. You can read what she had to say here.

Another guest - Graham - sent a letter following his summer 2007 holiday to the owner/editor of Scottish Islands Explorer magazine where he had spotted our ad.

Why not check what some of our other valued guests have to say? The following links are to independent sites produced by passengers who have taken a Northern Light Charters holiday. Given our percentage of repeat bookings and recommendations is around 75% some of them have taken many more than one!

::

Roger and Ann Hiley travelled aboard Chalice around the Hebrides to St Kilda in 2003. They have written up an account of their holiday as well as including lots of lovely photos. They have also written up a similar page for their trip with us to Faroes and Iceland in 2005 aboard Hjalmar Bjorge.

::

Richard Crossen has published some wonderful photos of his holiday to St Kilda in 2004.

::

Richard returned and has uploaded more photos from his cruise round the Inner Hebrides 2007.

::

Nigel Lynch, with help from other guests onboard, has also published a photographic record of their trip to St Kilda in June 2007.

::

Sheila Saltmarsh, from America, spent a week on Hjalmar Bjorge in June 2007. She emailed the relevant part of her UK diary which is here for you to read as a pdf file (1.1 Mb).

Any single travellers considering one of our cruises might like to read an article by Joan Gross who holidayed with us in 2001. Lots of our guests are "singles" so don't worry about feeling left out - you won't be. Joan describes how much she enjoyed the cruise and made new friends - one of whom turned out to live only an hour away from her home! As long as you are prepared to share a cabin with another (same sex) guest you'll fit right in onboard. Read Joan's article here.
