With the MS Hebridean Sky and her fleet of Zodiac landing craft, we will be able to visit some small islands and ports which the larger cruise vessels simply cannot access and skip the arduous, lengthy land travel which such itineraries would usually entail and instead relax on board as we deliver you to a new and exciting destination each day.If you have been contemplating a visit to Central America or the Caribbean, then the voyages in this brochure could offer the perfect opportunity. The whole region is imbued with colour and culture with a tremendous mix of natural beauty and historical sites and the MS Hebridean Sky is the ideal small ship to undertake our bespoke, in-depth itineraries. With a maximum of just over 100 fellow travellers on board, there is no queuing to disembark for an excursion and when required there will only be a small number of vehicles waiting on the quayside to transport you to the day%u2019s attraction as opposed to a whole fleet of coaches waiting for the passengers travelling on the big ships. Our cruises are researched and planned to enable you to explore fascinating sights in the company of local guides and whilst on board you will be in the company of a team of specialists who will enhance your experience by delving further into the flora, fauna and cultures of the destinations visited. In addition, the friendly, attentive crew together with our Captain and Officers, do their utmost to make each day a rewarding experience.Our ultimate aim when planning our schedules is to create travel experiences that are enriching, memorable and highly enjoyable and we believe we have achieved this with the journeys detailed in this brochure. Our flexible itineraries and knowledgeable onboard team will enable us to make the most of each day, whether we are landing on remote beaches by Zodiac, searching for endemic flowers, mammals and birds with our onboard naturalists, meeting with local people or learning about the ancient or colonial history of the region. You can relax on board as we sail between beautiful islands and interesting ports of call with days spent witnessing the wonderful flora and fauna, admiring the beautiful scenery and learning about the colonial and often turbulent history of the region, returning each evening to the comfort and excellent service aboard the MS Hebridean Sky.We look forward to welcoming you on board. Yours sincerelyTim CochraneManaging DirectorNOBLE CALEDONIACHARITABLE TRUSTDuring our worldwide explorations over the years, we have come across many situations where help is desperately needed, be it following a natural disaster, civil unrest, abject poverty or to save an endangered species. To this end we established the Noble Caledonia Charitable Trust in 2013 (NCCT). It is our vision to use the Noble Caledonia framework to improve economic, social and environmental conditions in the areas we work and visit. Our onboard teams are uniquely positioned to identify projects and lead fundraising initiatives, whilst many of our guests genuinely care about the people and places we visit and want to make a difference. 100% of all donations go directly to the beneficiaries as Noble Caledonia Ltd covers all the administration costs and donates a percentage of profits annually. Details of our projects can be found on our website www.noble-caledonia.co.uk
