Noble Caledonia

Big disappointment! We have booked our holiday this morning, deposit paid, just to find out later on in their invoice send to us via e-mail, that everyone must be vaccinated and have at least one booster. NHS website states that you are only eligible for spring booster if you are age 75 and over. I am not in that category.This question should have been put to us at the time of booking.Our trip is now cancelled and we have to find new one with other cruise company. The one we looked up so far do not require any vaccinations for covid.The reason we have chosen Noble Caledonia as we had very good previous experiences with them and love the Sea Cloud II.

We have recently returned from a trip round the Peloponnese on the ship Panorama 11. The visits were quite exceptional. We saw amazing places and were well looked after both by the guides and all the staff on the ship. Our group leader was especially good. However we were very disappointed by the ship. It was tired and the cabins were tiny and in need of a re-fit. The food was also pretty ordinary. We felt it was simply not good enough for what we paid and most of our fellow travellers shared our views.

Plain and simple, ripped us off!! Held a deposit for 2 years, then accepted final payment. Then canceled tour and refuse to make good on a full refund. They are deceptive and should not be trusted.

Complete disregard of the environment. The ship destroyed over 1,600 m of coral reefs in Raja Ampat. Then they left like nothing ever happened. Utterly shameless.

Excellent trip on the Island Hopping in Dalmatia on board the Queen Eleganza. Having been told how good Noble Caledonia were we tried our first cruise around the islands in Croatia. The boat, staff and other guests were all fantastic. The whole trip was so well organised and travelling on a small boat allowed us to moor in islands unreachable on a larger cruise ship.

Wonderful Ships and Fascinating trips. We have sailed on at least ten Noble Caledonia cruises and they have all been wonderful. The ships are immaculate and the crews are highly professional. We had been on the previous cruise when the ship hit the reef in Indonesia and had friends on that cruise and having read the previous reviews, can't see that any of those people have actually sailed with the company. If anyone would like to contact me, we have sailed the Caribbean, Pacific, Indian oceans, Indonesia and Central and South American coasts with Noble Caledonia and are booking more trips for the future. There are always excellent lecturers on board and I feel that our lives have been enriched by the association with the company. They sponsor numerous projects all around the world and are always very sensitive to the societies that we visit.

Our Cruise from the 20th to the 27th September 2023 on the Douro River in Portugal was nothing short of brilliant. The staff were fantastic, food incredibly good, an amazing free Bar, and fantastic outings on shore - with lovely most informative guides. The river itself was so peaceful and beautiful, and our co-travellers all lovely people. What could be better?!A HUGE THANK YOU to Noble Caledonia. We will be coming with you again on a cruise next year!With our very best wishes,Virginia and Roderick Cordy-Simpson

A real high quality cruise line. Excellent itineraries terrific food, affable atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I haven't been on a cruise. However, my parents enjoyed a cruise around the islands of Scotland and had a fabulous time. They commented on the care and attention they received throughout; one of their best cruises ever. They were accompanied by many people who have travelled extensively so they enjoyed sharing their experiences.Finally, it was Father's Day whilst they were onboard so I called Noble Cruises office. I spoke to Neil on the customer services team about the idea of buying a bottle of champagne for the special day. Neil emailed the ship and received a message that it could be arranged. Neil called me back and I purchased a bottle of champagne and arranged for a note to accompany the gift. All was delivered on the day and the card beautifully written.It is the small things that make a big difference. Thank you Neil for making this happen. My dad will be talking about this for years to come. Very special!
