Hebridean files into administration and seeks buyer

"On 8 April 2009, Colin Peter Dempster and Fiona Livingstone Taylor, of Ernst & Young LLP, were appointed Joint Administrators of Hebridean International Cruises Limited and Leisure and Marine Holdings Limited. The affairs, business and property of the companies are being managed by the Joint Administrators who contract as agents of the companies and without personal liability," Hebridean says on its website.
Meanwhile, CruiseCritic.co.uk reports on its website that passengers onboard Hebridean Princess needn't do anything -- at least at this point (it remains to be seen what impact the potential sale of the company or its ship will have on its programme). However, the filing does impact those travelers who were booked to sail on Hebridean Spirit, the sale of which was finalized on 7 April, and which will be converted into a private yacht by its Middle Eastern buyer, according to the Daily Telegraph.
On 19 March, we reported that Hebridean would offer all booked passengers a full refund or the option to transfer to a Hebridean Princess sailing to the Western Isles of Scotland. According to a spokesman for Hebridean, the option to switch to Hebridean Princess still stands. However, passengers who were hoping to receive a refund may not be as lucky. Hebridean now says that "the Joint Administrators are not in a position to refund any customers in respect of the cancelled Hebridean Spirit cruises,"CruiseCritic said.
