AUSTRALIA CRUISES  Classic Barrier Reef, Murray River and Sydney  Cruises  
A Coral Princess cruise is a unique experience combining soft adventure and expedition style experiences, in a "state of the art" mini ship accommodating just 54 guests. The vessels are custom made to exceed safety specifications for tropical open-water cruising, are fully air-conditioned and while on board, you can do as much or as little as you want. All cabins and staterooms are large, modern and resort-style with full size double or twin beds, full air-conditioning and private ensuites. The cruise between Townsville and Cairns is a leisurely adventure visiting uninhabited reef and mainland rainforest-clad islands, and features a variety of night-time stopovers. The on-board dive shop is manned by a qualified diving instructor offering resort dive courses for the beginner and a comprehensive and varied dive program for qualified scuba divers. It's your choice. Uncover the secrets of the Barrier Reef!

SOUTH PACIFIC EXPERIENCE  Classic Polynesia Cruises  
Join us as we explore remote islands, motus, and atolls accessible only by small ship, pausing often to learn traditional skills from welcoming South Sea Islanders and discovering the stunning beauty of these tropical natural wonders. This is a voyage of discovery. Who built the strange ruins at Nan Madol? How did the first Polynesians survive on remote atolls where conditions were so extreme? Through onboard narration, lectures, and slide shows, you'll expand your understanding and appreciation of the cultures and natural history of the places we visit. And when we reach new shores, guided explorations by people who live and work in these island communities will give you an intimate hands-on perspective that brings these insights to life.
