Orion Kimberley Explorer Cruise
MV Orion’s 10-night Kimberley Expedition undertakes an in-depth exploration of this remote coastline, from Darwin to Broome or vice versa.
Nothing can fully prepare you for the dramatic contrasts of Australia’s northwest, rich in Aboriginal culture and galleries of ancient artwork. Towards the west, in the historic pearling town of Broome, the colours of nature are vibrant and intense - rich red earth, azure blue seas and brilliant white sand beaches. North of Broome lies the ragged Kimberley coast, a place you can only comprehend from the sea.
Rugged gorges, inlets and waterfalls plunging 100 metres combine for an awe-inspiring experience you simply can’t get from travelling overland. Guests can enjoy a range of included and optional shore-side expeditions.
From camel safaris in Broome to scenic helicopter flights over the cascading Mitchell Falls, there are many unique opportunities for guests to visit areas of Australia that even most Australians don’t get to see. As part of Orion’s commitment to offering guests an enriching experience, onboard speakers have been selected for their knowledge and expertise on the regions they visit.
MV Orion
Although custom-made for expedition cruising, MV Orion is the epitome of elegance. No expense has been spared when it comes to the quality of fittings and furnishings and recreational facilities are nothing short of 5-star. She is more mega-yacht than cruise ship and her guests are few – around just 50 couples – all cared for in 5-star comfort by a crew of 75.
