M.V Expedition

M.V Expedition is currently cruising the western isles at the moment, she is seen here passing through the Sound Of Islay at 1600hrs on her way to Colonsay.

Noble Caledonia-GAP Adventures, our Canadian associate have recently renovated the 120 passenger MS Expedition which has her maiden voyage in the Azores in April 2009. The 120 passenger MS Expedition is large enough to provide stability, speed, spacious cabins and ample public space, yet she is small enough to manoeuvre in remote areas and get you close to the action. Ship stabilizers ensure a smooth ride in rough waters allowing you to enjoy more of your time at sea. Pictures taken By Graham Paterson
