THE announcement of the doubling of Aqua Expeditions’ fleet at a media event in Sydney last week paves the way for one of the new vessels to cruise to Australian waters in the future.
Francesco Zugaro (pictured), Founder & CEO of Aqua Expeditions told Cruise Weekly the Aqua Blu has the capability to reach Australian shores from its East Indonesian base.
“The distances are very close to Darwin and the Kimberley and I think the vessel we have has the capability to cruise here.
“She has the speed, autonomy and certification to cruise globally…we’re going to commit to Indonesia for now, but we can take some side trips for two to three weeks down to the Kimberley, well it’s possible,” Zugaro said.
In addition to the Aqua Blu, Zugaro also announced the Aqua Nera, a newly built ship to begin cruising the Peruvian Amazon in 2020 alongside the Aria Amazon.
“Every vessel that I bring to market require years of planning, designing and financing…we’ve doubled our fleet and hopefully we’ll add even more.”
