Delve deeper into the Kimberley’s spectacular Southern Coast in style and comfort on this all-inclusive, 10-day, luxury adventure cruise from Broome to Cygnet Bay. This cruise allows you to expand your exploration of the Kimberley region, from the must-see sights to secret spots you won’t find on other cruises.
There is nothing quite as immersive, invigorating, profound and peaceful as a Kimberley Coast cruise.
Here, in one of the oldest and largest landscapes on Earth, is a largely untouched wilderness of striking contrasts, with 1,200-kilometres (746mi) of sheer cliffs, pristine white sands and clear turquoise waters teeming with marine life. The Southern Coast is particularly special, with its prolific islands, inlets and pockets of rainforest home to many species of birds and other wildlife.
Departing from Broome, head north to discover a land of extraordinary colour and contrast. Cruise the thousand islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago. Get up close to the astonishing “sideways” waterfall, Horizontal Falls. Witness mammoth tides at the world’s largest inland reef, Montgomery Reef. Stand on deck and take a refreshing shower beneath King Cascade. Fish for the legendary Barramundi. Marvel at ancient Aboriginal rock art. Soak up the history of the first European expeditions and settlements. Observe local wildlife – Including crocodiles, dolphins, dugongs and Humpback Whales – in their natural habitats. All these must-see sights and experiences are interspersed with the Kimberley’s most remote and unspoilt beaches, coves, islands and waterways. You will feel as if you are the first person to leave a footprint.
When you’re not busy exploring, rest and relax onboard the Kimberley Quest II. Catering to a maximum of just 18 passengers in large, ensuite guestrooms, this 25-metre luxury vessel is purpose-built to travel where others cannot and is equipped with 3 expedition tenders and a jet boat to ensure no stone is left unturned. Enjoy a range of pre-existing and tailormade itineraries to cater for every fitness level and personal interest. Indulge in delicious modern Australian cuisine, curtesy of the onboard chef. Whatever your interests and style, the dedicated and friendly onboard crew have you covered.
This all-inclusive luxury adventure cruise includes 9-nights aboard Kimberley Quest II on a twin share basis. All meals, activities and transfers are included.
Get off the beaten track on the Kimberley’s splendid Southern Coast. Whether this is your first cruise, or you’re back for another taste, this will guarantee some unique destinations and memories that will last a lifetime.
