Tonnage 4,200

The MS Caledonian Sky offers the perfect balance between the spacious comfort of a large ocean liner and the boutique advantage of a smaller ship.
In contrast to traditional cruise ships, the MS Caledonian Sky accommodates an average of 100 guests and 70 crew, resulting in one of the highest crew-to-passenger ratios in Europe. With its comfortably compact size, the ship can access the must-see sights and hidden gems inaccessible to larger ships, docking right in the heart of each city or town.

Disabled Facilities
PASSENGERS NEEDING ASSISTANCE
Travelmarvel welcomes all passengers. Please note:
Passengers with a disability or medical condition requiring assistance must inform Travelmarvel at the time of booking of all important information relating to your health, mobility and fitness which may affect your partial or total participation in the cruise or tour. This information will allow Travelmarvel to ensure the tour you have chosen is suitable and meets your needs. Any changes to health, mobility and fitness must also be reported to Travelmarvel as soon as possible and prior to departure. Where possible Travelmarvel will make reasonable adjustments to the tour to assist you however, it cannot do so if the adjustment required would be unreasonable in all of the circumstances, including if such adjustments would affect your safety and/or the safety and/or enjoyment of other passengers.
If you require assistance or care (such as pushing a wheelchair, assistance with dressing or assistance with walking), you must travel with a companion capable of providing the required assistance or care. Travelmarvel is unable to assist any passenger with walking, dining, boarding or disembarking any transportation vehicles (including river and ocean cruise ships and trains). To safely participate in embarkation and disembarkation you must be able to do so without the need for assistance. You must also be able to do so without unreasonably impacting other passengers’ safety and/or enjoyment.
While Travelmarvel will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the special needs of disabled passengers, it is not responsible for any denial of services by any third party entities it has travel arrangements with, such as carriers, hotels, trains, restaurants or other independent suppliers, or for any additional associated expenses charges by those parties.
Please note coaches, minibuses and 4WD vehicles are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. Many ships require the use of stairs to go between decks, as some do not have elevators. Further, side by side docking may require passengers to climb and descend stairs to cross over vessels to disembark and embark at times. Ships often sail through remote areas that do not have convenient docking facilities. In such instances it will be necessary for passengers to negotiate temporary gangplanks and uneven surfaces. If the crew decide it is not safe for a passenger to negotiate such operations they may require passengers to stay on board. Cabin doors and restrooms may not be wide enough to allow access by standard wheelchairs. Wheelchairs and walkers cannot be carried on coaches, due to space limitations. For safety reasons, passengers in wheelchairs cannot be carried on ramps in ports where the river or ocean cruise ship is at anchor.
Age Restrictions
Children under twelve years of age are not permitted on tours and cruises. Children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult and share their accommodation with an adult.
Health & Fitness
A good level of health and fitness is required to participate on Travelmarvel’s holiday packages. In some destinations there are extensive sightseeing excursions by foot which include uneven ground and stairs. Mobility is needed for boarding or alighting coaches and ships. We recommend a visit to the doctor and dentist before travelling. It is your responsibility to advise Travelmarvel of any pre-existing medical conditions that may affect the normal conduct of a holiday package and the enjoyment of other guests. A Health, Fitness & Mobility Questionnaire will be provided and requested to be completed at the time of booking if you advise of any health, fitness or mobility issues. Travelmarvel is not liable for any injury, illness, or loss of enjoyment which could have been reasonably prevented had we been made aware of a pre-existing condition and been provided an opportunity to review it. We will not be responsible for any costs associated with cancellation penalties or the return of passengers from a tour, and a refund for lost touring cannot be claimed.
