After four days of awe-inspiring tours around some of the beautiful cities of Portugal and Spain, the guests on board the Caledonian Star have a chance to sit back and relax. The Caledonian Star has a day at sea, she is travelling through the Bay of Biscay towards France, where more incredible sites await, including a visit to the world-famous Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain.

Today the guests have a chance to take in informative lectures on the regional geology, archeology, and art, which are given by our knowledgeable expedition staff. It is also a time for the guests to unwind by resting in their cabins, or reading a book in the library.

Although the guests may be relaxing, behind the scenes it is business as usual for the crew of the Caledonian Star. The galley continually creates delectable dishes, giving the guests a variety of choices at every meal. The purser and the hotel manager make sure the trip is as comfortable as possible for the guests. But it is the combined effort of the entire crew, starting with the officers on the bridge, the deck crew, the hotel staff, and the engine department, who like a family, work together to make each Lindblad expedition as incredible as possible for our guests.
