About Coral Expeditions
Started in 1983, our company’s original
vessel, Coral Princess, a converted World
War II submarine chaser, pioneered and set
the standard for small ship expedition cruising
in northern Australia with 5-night cruises
on the Great Barrier Reef.
Today, the Coral Expeditions’ fleet includes
three purpose-built small ships that can
be found anywhere from the tropical waters
of Australia’s north to the rugged shores
of Tasmania, from the coastal villages of
Papua New Guinea and the Spice Islands,
to sheltered sounds and glacial fiords of
New Zealand.
While our range of cruise itineraries
has expanded into new regions, we have maintained
our home in Cairns and continue to be the
only major operator of extended small ship
cruises on the Great Barrier Reef.
There are many reasons why our guests
return to Coral Expeditions for a truly
authentic expedition.
Our three Australian-flagged expedition
ships are designed for the Kimberley region,
featuring wraparound decks, private balconies,
and outdoor dining to enjoy the balmy air
and glorious Kimberley sunsets. Open-sided
Xplorer tender boats allow you to take in
the magnificent cliffs and thundering waterfalls
up-close while sheltered from the harsh
Kimberley sun.
