Australian Hospitality at Sea
On board our Australian-flagged expedition ships, discover
a personalised, relaxed style of cruising. With a maximum
of 99 guests, there is no need for queues or assigned
seating. Instead, an intimate, convivial atmosphere shared
with like-minded travellers makes you feel at home.
Our Australian and New Zealand crew share their passion
for our destinations and the explorer’s life. Join our engine
room tours, watch our chefs at work in the open galley, and
chat with our Captain or officers on the bridge – they will
be delighted to have your company.
Our chefs, inspired by destination flavours, prepare cuisine
from fresh regional produce. Our wine cellars hold a
curated selection of Australian wines and unique beers.
Our guests love to mingle over drinks as the sun sets,
enjoy daily educational presentations by our lecturers,
participate in stargazing sessions after dark, or simply find
a quiet corner on deck and enjoy the solitude.
The Expedition Experience
We explore remote locations that are hard to reach or not
often touched by tourists, with shore excursions providing
environmental and cultural appreciation. Our small group
sizes ensure your experience is personal, with minimal
impact on the communities and environments we visit.
Enjoy excursions or activities each day, guided by
expert Expedition Leaders and lecturers who provide
commentary on culture, history, and the region’s unique
geology, plants and wildlife to help you connect with these
special places.
Our ships are built for environmentally responsible small-
ship cruising, with refined navigation and nimble Xplorer
tenders to bring you close to remote coastlines.

Our SailSAFE Plan
It is our priority to keep our guests and crew safe while
travelling with us, and our SailSAFE Plan ensures we
operate responsibly in the new environment that COVID-19
has created.
Remote, nature-based expeditions with Australian crew,
and small groups less than 99 guests provides a lower-risk
environment. The addition of our approved SailSAFE COVID
response plan, as well as our thorough pre-cruise testing
model, create additional confidence when sailing with us.
We have partnered with Respond Global, a specialist
medical advisory agency, to assist us in developing these 4
protocols that are among the most thorough in the world.
With a focus on prevention, to target a 100% COVID free
environment when we set sail, we have a three-tiered
medical screening system in place before boarding. This
prevention protocol is supported by onboard mitigation
actions and a thorough and compassionate response plan.
