Luxury Cruising Aboard an intimate cruise ship catering to–at most–just a few dozen privileged guests, you will discover secret corners of Australia that few travellers ever see. Cruise along spectacular gorges and through the spray of secluded waterfalls. Hunt for oysters, go mud-crabbing or cast your line for barramundi. Dive or snorkel in crystalline waters undiscovered by another boat, where the slap of waves against your hull is the only sound breaking the silence. Go bushwalking on shore or take a sightseeing trip by helicopter. At sunset, sip a cool drink on deck and share tales of the day with your fellow adventurers before enjoying a superb meal–perhaps featuring seafood you caught that day.

Dining on board is a casual yet sumptuous affair. Signature meals include freshly caught barramundi–a revered sport fish–which you might have caught with your very own hands. Or perhaps you would prefer the aged Angus beef or exquisite

Australian lamb? 'Heli-picnics’ are an unforgettable way to enjoy a quintessential Australian barbeque featuring a wide variety of seafood, including freshly caught reef fish and pearl meat.
