Our experienced London based staff have created a captivating and varied array of journeys, many incorporating little known places where only small ships can venture. All three Sky vessels have built up a remarkable following over the years which none of us in the company take for granted and each year we strive to make the experience on board even better. We are therefore delighted to announce that from March 2019, we will be offering complimentary Wi-Fi access on board all three vessels. In addition, both the MS Island Sky and MS Caledonian Sky have undergone significant refurbishments in recent months and we are all very pleased with the outcome. Equally as important as the facilities are the staff on board, whether they are the vessel’s crew or our own onboard teams who work together to ensure a well-run ship with a warm atmosphere. Our reputation has been built on providing the very best in all areas and our crew not only offer an excellent service, they are also noted for their kindness and attention to detail. In addition, the Noble Caledonia onboard team who are in control of the day to day programme and shore visits do their utmost to make every day special and their knowledge and enthusiasm make every trip a unique event. The collection of journeys featured in this brochure is perhaps one of our most diverse including ports of call on each continent and many island groups ranging from the far flung beauty of the islands of Melanesia and the South Pacific to the exquisite Seychelles Islands. Closer to home we have voyages around the Azores, the Hebrides or the Channel Islands combined with the Isles of Scilly. For wildlife enthusiasts our expeditions in the Russian Far East, around Madagascar or to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands will surely appeal. There are some more cultural based voyages including an exploration of Japan and her outlying islands and cruises around the Baltic. You will also find details of expeditions in Patagonia, a voyage from Peru to Colombia including a transit of the Panama Canal and explorations of Australia including the Kimberley and Tasmania and comprehensive cruises around New Zealand. Our ultimate aim when planning the schedules for the Skys is to create travel experiences that are enriching, memorable and highly enjoyable and we believe within the pages of this brochure we have achieved that. We are immensely proud of our three fine vessels and together with our experienced onboard teams and excellent crew look forward to welcoming you on board. Tim Cochrane Managing Director NOBLE CALEDONIA CHARITABLE TRUST During 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 3 Bora Bora small ships – big experiences There was a time, not so long ago when all cruises were much the same. However, the last twenty years or so have witnessed an immense and quick evolution and today we are all spoilt for choice. Ships of all different sizes and styles make the selection of a cruise a somewhat hit and miss affair, and whilst some companies attempt to please everybody, we prefer to place our future in the realm of small ships. For those contemplating a cruise, there is the choice of travelling on one of the vast new 4000 plus passenger vessels which offer every conceivable facility and diversion or you can opt for a journey aboard one of our small ships which offer good food and knowledgeable staff who make your cruise not only a holiday, but an educational voyage of discovery. Unlike most passenger cruise ships, our vessels are constantly on the move from region to region and continent to continent, small ships with big hearts which travel to every corner of the world, no matter how remote or seemingly inaccessible. In many ways the virtues of small ship cruising are best expressed by detailing what you will not find on board. For instance, there will be no organised entertainment and no black tie events. What there will be is a warm and peaceful atmosphere in which you can learn more about the wonders of nature, culture and ancient civilisations in the company of like-minded people in comfortable surroundings and with a high level of service. 4 Our Fleet – Three of the Finest Small Ships in the World Noble Caledonia is very fortunate to have three of the finest small ships in the world, the MS Island Sky, MS Caledonian Sky and MS Hebridean Sky. These ex-Renaissance Cruises sister vessels accommodate just 114 to 118 guests and are not only three of the most comfortable and well equipped small ships, but also three of the friendliest and most efficiently run. Our crews of just over 70, many of whom have been with us for many years, are dedicated to offering the best possible experience. It is this gentle, kind and efficient atmosphere on board that makes our vessels so popular. Our All Inclusive Policy On board the MS Island Sky, MS Caledonian Sky and the MS Hebridean Sky, you do not need to worry about tipping staff as we have included this in your holiday price. In addition we tip all our guides and drivers along the way, thereby taking away the hassle of always having to remember to have some small change with you. We also include shore excursions and drinks with meals on board and from March 2019 will also include complimentary Wi-Fi on all three vessels. Small Ship Cruising In all the development in the cruising industry over the past few decades Our Sky vessels have the freedom of the seas and can come alongside in the priority that has changed most is the itinerary. This used to be the small docks or drop anchor in any suitable spot. After all, you do not go on most significant element and deciding factor for many. However, the holiday to be part of the all engulfing masses which descend on a town when advent of the big ship has led to the downgrading of this important part a number of large ships dock at the same time. Arriving at a port for the first of the cruise, mainly because large ships can only dock in large ports with time should be an invigorating experience and can certainly be so when the all the supporting infrastructure necessary to service the vessel, and the right place is chosen and your arrival is on a small ship. onshore requirements of the passengers. We have over twenty five years of experience in designing trips to the hidden corners of the remotest places With a maximum of only 118 passengers on board our Sky vessels, there is no and yet, every year we discover something new and although we set sail queuing to disembark for an excursion and when required there will only be with a set itinerary it is sometimes the unscheduled events that become the three coaches waiting on the quayside to transport you to the day’s attraction highlight of the journey.

    Captain Bligh's Second Voyage to the South Sea

    Captain Bligh's Second Voyage to the South Sea By Ida Lee Captain Bligh's Second Voyage To The South Sea CHAPTER I. THE SHIPS LEAVE ENGLAND. On Wednesday, August 3rd, 1791, Captain Bligh left England for the second time in search of the breadfruit. The "Providence" and the "Assistant" sailed from Spithead in fine weather, the wind being fair and the sea calm. As they passed down the Channel the Portland Lights were visible on the 4th, and on the following day the land about the Start. Here an English frigate standing after them proved to be H.M.S. "Winchelsea" bound for Plymouth, and those on board the "Providence" and "Assistant" sent off their last shore letters by the King's ship. A strange sail was sighted on the 9th which soon afterwards hoisted Dutch colours, and on the loth a Swedish brig passed them on her way from Alicante to Gothenburg. Black clouds hung above the horizon throughout the next day threatening a storm which burst over the ships on the 12th, with thunder and very vivid lightning. When it had abated a spell of fine weather set in and good progress was made by both vessels. Another ship was seen on the 15th, and after the "Providence" had fired a gun to bring her to, was found to be a Portuguese schooner making for Cork. On this day "to encourage the people to be alert in executing their duty and to keep them in good health," Captain Bligh ordered them "to keep three watches, but the master himself to keep none so as to be ready for all calls".

    Bislama Into Kwamera: Code-Mixing and Language Change on Tanna (Vanuatu)

Extensive code-mixing is an obvious indicator, and sometime cause, of language change or even language replacement. This paper discusses several sorts of Bislama code-mixing on Tanna among speakers of that island’s Kwamera language. It assesses levels and kinds of Bislama use in four village debates, tape-recorded in 1982 and 1983. Among other uses, Kwamera speakers mix Bislama when interjecting, reiterating, reporting speech, neutralizing marked vernacular terms, and qualifying what they say. The paper concludes with some remarks on the phonological, morphological/syntactic, and lexical/semantic consequences of recurrent language mixing—on how Islanders’ insertions of Bislama into their oratorical and everyday talk may or may not be effecting linguistic change in Kwamera. Bislama, so far at least, has enriched more than it has impoverished Tanna’s linguistic ecology. Speakers’ frequent Bislama mixes have not yet seriously undermined their vernacular. 1. INTRODUCTION. On the island of Tanna, Vanuatu, many people say that they don’t speak their language the way they used to. This language is Kwamera—or, to give it its local name, Nɨninɨfe1 or Nɨfe (Lindstrom 1986; Lindstrom and Lynch 1994). Around 3,500 people living along Tanna’s southeastern coasts speak Kwamera.

  • Re-Membering Quirós, Bougainville and Cook in Vanuatu

    Re-Membering Quirós, Bougainville and Cook in Vanuatu

    Chapter 3 The Sediment of Voyages: Re-membering Quirós, Bougainville and Cook in Vanuatu Margaret Jolly Introduction: An Archipelago of Names This chapter juxtaposes the voyages of Quirós in 1606 and those eighteenth-century explorations of Bougainville and Cook in the archipelago we now call Vanuatu.1 In an early and influential work Johannes Fabian (1983) suggested that, during the period which separates these voyages, European constructions of the ªotherº underwent a profound transformation. How far do the materials of these voyages support such a view? Here I consider the traces of these journeys through the lens of this vaunted transformation and in relation to local sedimentations (and vaporisations) of memory. Vanuatu is the name of this archipelago of islands declared at independence in 1980 ± vanua ªlandº and tu ªto stand up, endure; be independentº (see figure 3.1). Both words are drawn from one of the 110 vernacular languages still spoken in the group. But, alongside this indigenous name, there are many foreign place names, the perduring traces of the movement of early European voyagers: Espiritu Santo ± the contraction of Terra Austrialia del Espiritu Santo, the name given by Quirós in 1606;2 Pentecost ± the Anglicisation of Île de Pentecôte, conferred by Bougainville, who sighted this island on Whitsunday, 22 May 1768; Malakula, Erromango and Tanna ± the contemporary spellings of the Mallicollo, Erromanga and Tanna conferred by Cook who named the archipelago the New Hebrides in 1774, a name which, for foreigners at least, lasted from that date till 1980.3 Fortunately, some of these foreign names proved more ephemeral: the island we now know as Ambae, Bougainville called Île des Lepreux (Isle of Lepers), apparently because he mistook the pandemic skin conditions of tinea imbricata or leucodermia for signs of leprosy.
  • Extinct and Extirpated Birds from Aitutaki and Atiu, Southern Cook Islands 1

    Extinct and Extirpated Birds from Aitutaki and Atiu, Southern Cook Islands 1

    Pacific Science (1991), vol. 45, no. 4: 325-347 © 1991 by University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved Extinct and Extirpated Birds from Aitutaki and Atiu, Southern Cook Islands 1 DAVID W. STEADMAN 2 ABSTRACT: Six archaeological sites up to 1000 years old on Aitutaki, Cook Islands, have yielded bones of 15 species of birds, five of which no longer occur on the island: Pterodroma rostrata (Tahiti Petrel); Sula sula (Red-footed Booby); Dendrocygna, undescribed sp. (a large, extinct whistling duck); Porzana tabuensis (Sooty Crake); and Vini kuhlii (Rimatara Lorikeet). Of these, only S. sula and P. tabuensis survive anywhere in the Cook Islands today . The nearest record of any speciesofDendrocygna is in Fiji. Aside from the aquatic speciesEgretta sacra (Pacific Reef-Heron) and Anas superciliosa (Gray Duck), the only native, resi­ dent land bird on Aitutaki today is the Society Islands Lorikeet (Vini peru viana), which may have been introduced from Tahiti. Residents of Aitutaki note that Ducula pacifica (Pacific Pigeon) and Ptilinopus rarotongensis (Cook Islands Fruit-Dove) also occurred there until the 1940sor 1950s.There is no indigenous forest on Aitutaki today. The bones from Aitutaki also include the island's first record of the fruit bat Pteropus tonganus . Limestone caves on the island of Atiu yielded the undated bones of six species of birds, three of which no longer exist there or anywhere else in the Cook Islands: Gallicolumba erythroptera (Society Islands Ground-Dove), Ducula aurorae (Society Islands Pigeon), and Vini kuhlii. Each of these species has been recovered from prehistoric sites on Mangaia as well. The limestone terrain of Atiu is mostly covered with native forest that supports populations of Ducula pacifica, Ptilinopus rarotongensis, Collocalia sawtelli (Atiu Swiftlet), and Halcyon tuta (Chattering Kingfisher).

  • Translocation of Rarotonga Monarchs Pomarea Dimidiata Within the Southern Cook Islands

    Translocation of Rarotonga Monarchs Pomarea Dimidiata Within the Southern Cook Islands

    Bird Conservation International (2006) 16:197–215. ß BirdLife International 2006 doi: 10.1017/S0959270906000268 Printed in the United Kingdom Translocation of Rarotonga Monarchs Pomarea dimidiata within the southern Cook Islands HUGH A. ROBERTSON, IAN KARIKA and EDWARD K. SAUL Summary The translocation of species to a new site plays an important role in the conservation of many threatened birds; however, the problems and processes involved in planning and implementing such translocations are rarely reported. In order to establish a second secure ‘insurance’ population of the endangered Rarotonga Monarch Pomarea dimidiata, or Kakerori, 30 young birds were moved from the Takitumu Conservation Area on Rarotonga to the 2,700 ha island of Atiu between 2001 and 2003. The translocation of this single-island endemic was to a site outside the historical range of the species, because the small, but rapidly growing, population on Rarotonga was considered to be highly vulnerable to a catastrophe, such as a cyclone, or the arrival of a new bird disease or predator. The translocation followed consultation with local communities, an assessment of the suitability of islands in the southern Cook Islands, and an assessment of the disease risk posed by the translocation. The translocation appears to have been successful because Rarotonga Monarchs have bred well in a variety of forest habitats on Atiu. Introduction In a review of bird conservation problems in the South Pacific, commissioned by the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and the International Council for Bird Preservation (now BirdLife International) in the early 1980s, Hay (1986) identified the Rarotonga Monarch, or Kakerori, Pomarea dimidiata, as one of the species most urgently in need of conservation management.
