The Philippines tourism board has a slogan, “It’s more fun in the Philippines!”—and I could not agree more! Never have I encountered people so warm and welcoming as in the Philippines. Add this to an island-hopping transect north through Taiwan, and Japan’s volcanic Ryukyu Islands, and we have a fascinating trip loaded with cultural and wildlife diversity.
The all-suite, 100-guest Caledonian Sky is a spacious, yet intimate, expedition vessel. Refurbished in 2012, her beautifully designed public spaces include a single-seating dining room, a large lounge with piano, elegant bar, enclosed panoramic viewing deck, sun deck, library, and small gym. All suites have an ocean view and feature a sitting room, en suite bathroom, flat-screen television, spacious wardrobes, and dressing table. The Caledonian Sky carries a fleet of Zodiacs, available for accessing remote shorelines and islands and is equipped to offer scuba diving.
When watersports and Zodiac expeditions are on the itinerary, it pays to keep your valuable camera gear high and dry. This guaranteed 100% waterproof camera case works up to a depth of 15 feet and is made with an ultra-clear LENZFLEX material that allows for high-quality shots right through the case.
