We are thrilled to partner with Australian Geographic in an alliance that brings together over 65 years of shared passion and experience for education, discovery, travel, and science. Together, we have developed a series of annual expeditions, which will be hosted by special guests from the Australian Geographic Society. Further, our collaboration extends to the curation of a program of scientific, cultural, historic, and nature projects, which will come to life aboard the Coral Adventurer throughout our partnership. Guest will have the chance to participate in these projects during their voyage. The Australian Geographic will be a patron of the Coral Adventurer, presenting unique and engaging activity housed in the Barralong Room – the onboard experiential, workshop, and exhibition space beside the bridge. Our partnership also supports the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year and the Australian Geographic Adventure Awards, inspirational pathways through which Australian photographers and adventurers are nurtured.
Join us on a Tasmania Expedition departing 17 January 2021 in partnership with Australian Geographic. This partnership brings together over 65 years of shared passion and experience for education, discovery, travel, and science. The cruise will be hosted by a special guest from the Australian Geographic Society. Coral Expeditions’ Tasmania cruises explore Australia’s island state poised at the edge of the world where the Southern, Indian and Pacific Oceans collide. Tasmania’s pristine World Heritage wilderness and national parks teem with native wildlife, where rugged mountain ranges meet the sea with soaring coastal cliffs and crescent-shaped beaches carved by the elements.
