Each year our horizons widen and the following pages detail the voyages our three, all-suite ships, the MS Island Sky, MS Caledonian Sky and MS Hebridean Sky will undertake in 2017 and into 2018. The MS Hebridean Sky, the latest addition to our fleet was launched in May after a multi-million pound refurbishment and having the third sister at sea has enabled us to broaden our itineraries even further. Our well informed and well travelled London based staff have created a captivating and diverse collection of journeys for 2017 and 2018. Amongst these pages you will not find a seemingly endless series of similar itineraries, but many one-off voyages that can transport you to the most interesting and often little known places where only small ships can venture including a fascinating and in-depth look at Taiwan, a new destination for us in 2018. The ‘Skys’ have built up a remarkable following over the years and it is not uncommon to have cruises of which 80% are past travellers on board. None of us in the company take this strong following for granted and each year we strive to make the experience on board even better. All three of our ships were built in the same yard at similar times and share the same excellent attributes that make them three of the finest small ships in the world. However, equally as important as the facilities are the staff on board whether they are the vessel’s crew or our own expedition staff. Noble Caledonia’s reputation has been built on providing the very best in all areas. Our crew not only offer an excellent service, they are also noted for their kindness and attention to detail. A well run ship with a warm atmosphere is what we are known for. Another hugely important factor is our expedition team and guest speakers who are in control of the day to day programme and shore visits, doing their utmost to make every day special. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and warmth make every trip a unique event. Each year we read of ever larger vessels being built that accommodate up to 6000 passengers or more. We are happy to be at the opposite end of the spectrum with just over 100 travellers which allows us to offer something very different and rewarding to all those interested in a real travel experience. Whether you join one of the trips close to home in the Hebrides or in far flung Melanesia, you will be assured of a warm welcome on board and a team of knowledgeable expedition staff and Guest Speakers that will make your journey an enjoyable and rewarding experience. We are immensely proud of our three fine vessels and hope to see you aboard soon. 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 on board 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 French Polynesia 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 has 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. Our Fleet – Three of the finest small ships in the world Noble Caledonia is very fortunate to have the MS Island Sky, MS Caledonian Sky and MS Hebridean Sky which joined our fleet in May 2016. 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 in the world, 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. 4 www.noble-caledonia.co.uk Elba Island, Italy Exploring by Zodiac On Deck, Caledonian Sky Antarctica How important is the itinerary to you? In all the development over the past couple of decades the priority that has changed most is the itinerary. This used to be the most significant element and deciding factor for many. However, the advent of the big ship has led to the downgrading of this important part of the cruise, mainly because large ships can only dock in large ports with all the supporting infrastructure necessary to service the vessel, and the onshore requirements of the passengers. For us, the itinerary is still paramount. Avoiding commercialism in today’s modern world is becoming increasingly Enjoying the view tricky, particularly when selecting a holiday with many so-called ‘off the beaten track’ destinations having been discovered as mainstream tourism becomes the norm for countries around the world. However, with small ships Small Ship Cruising – What’s the Difference? as our base we can still seek out and visit the remote ports which are not For those contemplating a cruise, there is the choice of travelling on one of the easily accessible by any other means. Small ships have the freedom of the vast new 4000 plus passenger vessels which offer every conceivable facility and seas and can come alongside in small docks or drop anchor in any suitable diversion or you can opt for a journey aboard one of our small ships which offer spot. After all, you do not go on holiday to be part of the all engulfing masses good food and knowledgeable staff who make your cruise not only a holiday, which descend on a town when a number of large ships dock at the same but an educational voyage of discovery. Unlike most passenger cruise ships, time. Arriving at a port for the first time should be an invigorating experience our vessels are constantly on the move from region to region and continent to and can certainly be so when the right place is chosen and your arrival is on a continent, small ships with big hearts which travel to every corner of the world, small ship. no matter how remote or seemingly inaccessible. Our All Inclusive Policy In many ways the virtues of small ship cruising are best expressed by detailing Unlike many other cruise vessels, on board the MS Island Sky, MS Caledonian what you will not find on board. For instance, there will be no organised Sky and the MS Hebridean Sky, you do not need to worry about tipping entertainment and no black tie events. What there will be is a warm and peaceful staff as we have included this in your holiday price. In addition we tip all our atmosphere in which you can learn more about the wonders of nature, culture guides and drivers along the way, thereby taking away the hassle of always and ancient civilisations in the company of like-minded people in comfortable having to remember to have some small change with you. We also include surroundings and with a high level of service. shore excursions and drinks with meals on board. +44 (0)20 7752 0000 5 Exploring Ashore and Expedition Cruising Our inclusive pricing policy means that shore excursions are included in the price of your cruise.

    Sky Island Grassland Assessment: Identifying and Evaluating Priority Grassland Landscapes for Conservation and Restoration in the Borderlands David Gori, Gitanjali S. Bodner, Karla Sartor, Peter Warren and Steven Bassett September 2012 Animas Valley, New Mexico Photo: TNC Preferred Citation: Gori, D., G. S. Bodner, K. Sartor, P. Warren, and S. Bassett. 2012. Sky Island Grassland Assessment: Identifying and Evaluating Priority Grassland Landscapes for Conservation and Restoration in the Borderlands. Report prepared by The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico and Arizona. 85 p. i Executive Summary Sky Island grasslands of central and southern Arizona, southern New Mexico and northern Mexico form the “grassland seas” that surround small forested mountain ranges in the borderlands. Their unique biogeographical setting and the ecological gradients associated with “Sky Island mountains” add tremendous floral and faunal diversity to these grasslands and the region as a whole. Sky Island grasslands have undergone dramatic vegetation changes over the last 130 years including encroachment by shrubs, loss of perennial grass cover and spread of non-native species. Changes in grassland composition and structure have not occurred uniformly across the region and they are dynamic and ongoing. In 2009, The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) launched its Sky Island Grassland Initiative, a 10-year plan to protect and restore grasslands and embedded wetland and riparian habitats in the Sky Island region. The objective of this assessment is to identify a network of priority grassland landscapes where investment by the Foundation and others will yield the greatest returns in terms of restoring grassland health and recovering target wildlife species across the region.

  • Temporal and Geographical Emergence of the Classic East Polynesian Marae Complex Paul Wallin and Reidar Solsvik
    78 The place of the land and the seat of the ancestors: Temporal and geographical emergence of the classic East Polynesian marae complex Paul Wallin and Reidar Solsvik Introduction ‘Marae’ is a word that has many cognates in Polynesian languages and in almost all cases it designate some type of religious site or assembly place. The morpheme can be reconstructed back to Proto Polynesia PPn* malaqe with a possible meaning as “meeting place” (POLLEX). On the Polynesian Outliers and in the island groups of Samoa and Tonga, malae is used to designate an open cleared space within or at the side of the settlement where people gather to held meetings or certain social and religious ceremonies. On some islands like Alofi, the malae has a row of upright stones or backrests at one end. On other islands, like Tokelau and Kapingamarangi, the meetings and ceremonies take place inside a house, while the general area around the house is known as malae . In most East Polynesian island groups, the main exceptions being Hawai’i and New Zealand, the word ‘marae’ refers to a particular group of ritual structures with many common architectural characteristics. It is a rectangular space with a low stone platform or enclosure at one side. On Hawai’i it is the word ‘ heiau ’ that designate religious architecture, of various design rather dissimilar to the other island groups although ceremonies taking place on these sites strongly resembles ceremonies conducted on marae sites. The Maori language use the word ‘marae’ to characterise the courtyard in front of the meeting house, or it designates, in a modern usage the whole complex of buildings and activity ground which also include the meeting house.
