| Noble
Caledonia Associations |
Over the years Noble Caledonia
have been working closely with a small number of select cruise
operators who have the same ethos as ourselves. Some of you
will have started to notice our adverts and brochures appearing
in a different style and bearing logos ‘in association
with’...
We are proud to have strengthened our bonds with our associates
and are working together and combining our different areas
of expertise in order to be able to offer you even more diverse
travel experiences. We would like to take this opportunity
to explain to you in little more detail the aims of our associates
and what this means to you.
Please select an Associate to see their current tours. |

| Cruise West |
| We are delighted to be working with Cruise West, owners of the Spirit of Oceanus, which is the sister ship to the MS Island Sky. The aims of Cruise West are very similar to our own. No floor shows, casinos or any other big ship experiences; just small ship cruising, focused on the destination, its scenery, wildlife, natural history and culture, all in the company of limited numbers of like-minded travellers. |
