PT has recently launched its brand new 2020 Kimberley Cruising brochure, featuring Arnhem Land and the Coral Coast. With a fresh look and feel, the brochure is jam-packed with APT’s most popular Kimberley cruise and land adventures, as well as a brand new Coral Coast cruise. There is no better way to explore the Kimberley, Coral and Arnhem Land coastlines than aboard APT’s awardwinning sister expedition ships MS Caledonian Sky and MS Island Sky. With just 110 guests on board, an expert expedition team and a fleet of Zodiacs on hand, an unforgettable experience is guaranteed. What’s more, every detail has been considered and included, from delicious meals to an exclusive onboard beverages package. Embark on APT’s much loved Grand Kimberley Coast cruise to explore the secluded gorges and sprawling reefs of the Kimberley’s rugged coastline. Whizz through Horizontal Falls on an exhilarating fast boat ride, step
ashore at Bigge Island to see ancient Indigenous rock art, and hop aboard a Zodiac to discover King George Falls. Surrender to the beauty of Western Australia’s Coral Coast on APT’s brand new 10-day Colours of the Coral Coast expedition cruise aboard the MS Caledonian Sky. Cruising along the outer Ningaloo Reef in search of humpback whales is sure to be a highlight, as is an included scenic helicopter flight over the Dampier Archipelago. Combine a Coral Coast cruise with APT’s five-night Wildflower Way land extension and see Western Australia’s landscapes blanketed in brilliant wildflowers. For those looking to delve deep into the mystery of Arnhem Land, APT’s eight-day Arnhem Land Explorer aboard the MS Island Sky is ideal. Soar over the Tiwi Islands on an included scenic flight, explore the uncharted waters of the Arafura Swamp in a Zodiac and be inspired by a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony.
