The Caledonian Sky is scheduled to sail in Europe in 2025 after being withdrawn from the fleet of Captain Cook Cruises Fiji.

According to a report from Luxury Australian Travel Trade E-News (Latte), the 114-guest ship will be operated by Travelmarvel, a brand of the APT Travel Group, which is the company that owns the vessel.

The brandwill offer itineraries to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic onboard the vessel, with cruises  set to take place between April and October 2025.

Focusing on the region’s story and culture, the sailings are said to feature an experienced cruise director and an onboard team, in addition to expert local guides.

The program features a series of eight- to 15-night itineraries to destinations in the Greek Islands, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea, the Canary Islands and Madeira departing from ports in Greece, Italy, Turkey and Spain.

“Thanks to its boutique size, the MS Caledonian Sky allows you to access smaller ports and dock right in the heart of a city or town,” said David Cox, CEO of Travelmarvel.

“With the ship’s shallow draft, we are able to slip away from the pack, into remote coastal towns or shallow waters,” he told Latte while also highlighting longer stays that allow guests to “explore after other tourists have left for the day.”

Originally built for Renaissance Cruises in the early 1990s, the Caledonian Sky was acquired by APT Travel Group in mid-2021.

After offering itineraries in the Kimberley and other regions of Australia, the expedition vessel was chartered to Captain Cook Cruises Fiji in 2023.

Replacing the Reef Endeavour, the Caledonian Sky kicked off a schedule of exploration cruises to remote regions of Fiji last November.

The operation, however, proved to be short-lived as Captain Cook announced plans to withdraw the vessel from its fleet in November 2024.

In the past, the Caledonian Sky also spent time sailing for the United Kingdom-based travel operator, Noble Caledonia.
