Island Sky: Refined and intimate, with the feel of a private yacht

Days: 13-21 | From: $8,995/per person

Island Sky and Hebridean Sky are truly sisters. Built in the same Italian shipyard as the Hebridean Sky, the Island Sky boasts similar spacious, well-appointed suites, stylish common areas, and state-of-the-art stabilizing technology that facilitates smooth sailing even on rough seas. This all-suite vessel offers touches of elegance throughout, like french doors, wood paneling, and brass fittings that give the impression of being on a private luxury yacht. This is a ship that tends to attract repeat travelers.
