Your
expedition voyage of discovery begins
from either Cairns - gateway to the
World Heritage listed Great Barrier
Reef, Cape York Peninsular and the fascinating
islands of the Tomes Strait, or Darwin
- gateway to the remote and mysterious
Arnhem Land and the famous National
Parks of Kakadu and Cobourg Peninsula,
areas affectionately known as the "Top
End".
Experienced
and informative Expedition Leaders and
Guest Lecturers will accompany you on
all excursions. They will point out
and interpret the myriad of wildlife
you encounter and augment your experiences
with on-board discussions and informal
lectures. From our informative Guides
you will discover the mysteries of the
fascinating reef life and habitat.
There
are few roads in this remote part of
Northern Australia. Your access to this
area is aboard one of our expedition
cruise vessels Coral Princess or Oceanic Discoverer. Shallow draft and manouverability
make these ships ideal to safely navigate
the often unchartered waters of the
Great Barrier Reef, Torres Strait and
Arafura Sea.
Both
vessels offer facilities you would expect
of larger ships. A choice of room grade
and bedding configurations, all air-conditioned
with en-suites, cocktail bars, spa pool,
sundeck, resource library, lecture lounge,
telephone/fax, Internet booth and more.
We
offer the choice - the preference is
yours.
This
voyage offers a singular opportunity
for you to explore a land of mystery
and intrigue, with fascinating plants
and animals found nowhere else in Australia.
From the Great Barrier Reef, Cape York
Peninsula, Torres Strait and Thursday
Island, to Nhulunbuy, Arnhem Land, Cobourg
Peninsula and the Tiwi Islands, you
will learn of the success and failures
of early explorers and settlers and
be fascinated by the diverse cultures
of the Aborigine, Torres Strait and
Tiwi islanders.
Join
the Across the Top expedition cruise
from the Great Barrier Reef to the Outback
in style and comfort with Coral Princess
Cruises.
