Caledonia, a 245’ square-rigged barquentine, is the largest sailing ship built in Canada in the last 100 years. She is the only sailing Expedition Cruise Vessel of its size offering shipboard coastal adventures in North America. One great advantage of sailing on a smaller ship is the flexibility to change where you go to accommodate new opportunities. Caledonia can accommodate up to 76 guests and a crew of 20 for much more personal service. On a smaller ship you can visit out of the way ports and travel directly to sites of interest rather than seeing the usual big tourist ports. Guest speakers will be aboard to provide insight into the people, places and history of our ports of call. The itinerary is flexible, if there is an opportunity to witness some spectacular wildlife or attend a festival that requires a change to the regular itinerary, your crew can accommodate it. As a working sailing ship, guests are invited to participate in the handling of sails. The professional crew are available to demonstrate and teach a few skills to those who are interested.
