Discover Our Expedition Cruises

From humble beginnings on the Great Barrier Reef 40 years ago, we have taken our unique style of Australian expedition cruising to the far-flung lands of the Kimberley, Tasmania and the Small Islands of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Wherever we go, we have one purpose – taking small groups of like-minded explorers to the most remote parts of the world with expert guidance and warm Australian hospitality.

Expedition Dispatch

Bigge Island

06 June 2023

“Our journey led us to Lumbarrnii Island, where we eagerly explored ancient rock art, pristine beaches, and enchanting sea caves. As we circumnavigated the island’s shores, we were delighted to catch sight of a pair of ospreys nurturing their new nest, while a wedged-tailed eagle soared high above. We concluded our unforgettable day savoring the awe-inspiring beauty of the sunset, accompanied by refreshing drinks, as we bid farewell to Prince Frederick Harbour.”

Vansittart Bay

01 June 2023

“This morning we set off on a journey to discover the historical C53 plane wreck. We crossed the salt flat keeping our eyes peeled for fiddler crabs and spotted many birds through the trees including Peaceful doves, Red tailed cockatoos, Red winged parrots, and three large Brolgas. After a journey to Jar Island to explore ancient indigenous rock art we continued our theme of venturing to the past and indulged in premium wine tasting paired with delicious canapes.”

King George River

31 May 2023

“This morning we set off in the Xplorers for our adventure up the King George River. It was a peaceful cruise with the morning sun lighting up the colours of the sandstone cliffs. Once we reached the river, we boarded the Zodiacs to get a closer look at the Oomari falls where we had our first Kimberley shower! It was a refreshing way to start our day and adventure. In the afternoon Jeremy held his first presentation on the sex lives of birds, a very popular and interesting subject”

"Today we had the amazing opportunity to get a closer look at the King George Falls. We boarded the Zodiacs and inched closer to the giant waterfall until we were close enough to feel its spray. On the way back, we enjoyed a peaceful cruise and a croc presentation as we kept an eye out for any lurking in the water. After such an exhilarating day, we ate a delicious dinner, enjoyed some refreshing drinks, and went to sleep, eagerly awaiting our next adventure."

"Today we embarked on an adventure-filled day that left us feeling enriched and inspired. Splitting into groups, we set out to explore the island's magnificent art and ceremonial sites. The natural beauty of the island was truly breathtaking but our experience wasn't just limited to admiring the scenery. We also had in-depth conversations about conservation and we left with a greater appreciation for the need to protect our natural world. We later explored Montalivet Island and delved into the island's fascinating World War II history. Throughout our journey, we were surrounded by the lush flora and fauna that make Bigge Island such a unique and special place. It was truly a day to remember, filled with adventure, learning, and unforgettable experiences that will stay with us forever."

Our Fleet of Expedition Ships & Tenders

Our fleet of three expedition ships are Australian-flagged and crewed. With only 120 guests, there are no queues, long waits, or assigned meal slots. Instead, enjoy a relaxed, convivial atmosphere shared with like-minded explorers. The shallow draft and high manoeuvrability of our ships gets us closer to explore the sheltered bays, hidden inlets and fishing villages inaccessible to larger ships. All our ships feature our trademark Xplorer tenders, our open-sided safari boats that make excursions pleasant and safe.
