CORAL Expeditions will operate a “completely re-imagined” Great Barrier Reef expedition program from Jun, 2021, with itineraries to focus on marine wildlife encounters and Indigenous connections in the Reef’s remote northern regions.
Highlights of the new seven-night Outerknown Adventures on the Great Barrier Reef voyage include explorations of lesser known outer reefs and islands, visits to a turtle rehabilitation centre, and swim/snorkel/dive activities in less traversed spots.
In line with the cruise line’s plan to shift across to an all-new blue-water expedition fleet by 2021, Coral Expeditions Commercial Director Jeff Gillies said there was an opportunity for the company to create a program that boasts longer and more immersive experiences.
“Coral Expeditions pioneered expedition cruising on the Great Barrier Reef in 1985, we have gone back to the drawing board to redesign our program reflecting on how our guest expectations, and the geography of the Reef itself, have evolved over three decades,” he said.
The new sailings will take place aboard the 72-pax Coral Discoverer which features two outdoor bars and a sundeck with 300 views.
