Coral Expeditions/fleet is preparing for its second full circumnavigation of Australia aboard the Coral Adventurer, set to depart from Cairns on October 17, 2025.
This 60-night voyage, themed “Australia’s Coastal Legend” will accommodate up to 112 guests and includes 48 days of shore excursions, offering an extensive exploration of the continent's diverse coastal regions.
The itinerary encompasses a range of experiences, including cultural festivals, culinary events, and visits to remote communities. Notable highlights are a cultural festival on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait, a 4-course winemaker's lunch at Leeuwin Estate in Western Australia's Margaret River region, and a charter flight to Longreach in Queensland for an outback experience at Rosebank Station.
Throughout the voyage, guests will have opportunities to engage with Indigenous communities, explore natural landmarks, and participate in activities such as snorkeling at Lizard Island, observing marine life at Ashmore Reef, and visiting historical sites along the southern coast.
The 2019-built Coral Adventurer is designed for expedition cruising with features that allow access to remote areas. The vessel's shallow draft and maneuverability enable it to reach destinations inaccessible to larger ships. Accommodations range from Coral Deck Staterooms to Bridge Deck Balcony Suites, with fares starting at AU$54,000 per person.
