NOBLE CALEDONIA CRUISES

Overlooked when people mention Britsh cruise companies, London based Noble Caledonia’s raison d ètre, has always been to offer varied cruises on vessels of a unique style.

Small ships allow interesting itineraries and an onboard ambience that is conducive to exploring the world and learning of its wonders. With a limited number of passengers, camaraderie grows to create a warm and friendly atmosphere onboard. Small numbers also allow the crew and staff to provide a more personal and caring service.

If you are looking for something special they have two all-suite vessels, the MS Island Sky or MS Hebridean Sky. The variety stretches from the MS Royal Crown that cruises Europe’s watery highways, to a cruise under a wind-filled sail aboard the magnificent Sea Cloud II. The Sea Cloud II is one of the finest and most opulent sailing ships in the world.
