Caledonia Sky
a luxury small expedition
ship
Refurbished in 2012, the Caledonian Sky
is a spacious, yet intimate, expedition
ship. with a max of 114 guests. The
cabins were spacious and well fitted. The
atmosphere on board was warm and
convivial with a good daily programme
of talks and a daily briefing. The ship
lacks a plunge pool but has a small gym
if you want to wear off the extra calories
consumed from the delicious meals and
wine served on the ship. There are 2
restaurants (inside and outside) and the
catering staff make every meal a
pleasure.
wildlife at sea
We were extremely grateful to the
Captain who opened up the bow deck to
enable us to watch closely the dolphins
that were riding the bow wave of the
ship. It was an amazing experience.
Throughout the trip we saw a variety of
dolphins very closely – Common
Bottlenose, Spinner and Dwarf Spinner.
Also Curvier’s Beaked, Short-finned Pilot
and Dwarf Sperm Whales were seen.
Birdlife was abundant during the cruise,
both at sea and onshore to the delight
of the birding community on board.
