Launched
in November 2004, the luxurious True
North is one of the finest expedition
cruise ships in the world. Six tender
vessels ensure that guests can experience
the Kimberley ‘up close’ and in small
groups, and to add yet another dimension
to your adventure, the True North sails
complete with her very own Bell-407
helicopter!
With
the ability to carry 6 passengers in
air-conditioned comfort, the helicopter
provides a unique opportunity to witness
the grandeur of the Kimberley and discover
your own special Eden, otherwise inaccessible.
The
True North accommodates 36 guests in
a choice of three cabin styles, each
with en suite facilities, in-house entertainment
and satellite telephones. The Explorer
Class Staterooms and the River Class
cabins contain king size beds (which
may be converted to singles) and large
viewing windows. In the Ocean Class
cabins, roomy single beds and 2 portholes
provide a bright airy feel.
Equipped
with state-of-the-art maritime systems,
an Internet cafe and large panoramic
windows, the True North offers the discerning
traveller the ultimate in comfort and
style. An opulent observation lounge
(furnished with two huge plasma screens)
overlooks the bow, providing commanding
views of the vessels forward movement.
The
unique indoor/outdoor bar is the perfect
place for a sunset cocktail and your
gourmet chefs prepare fine meals served
in a spacious and fully air-conditioned
dining lounge. Purpose-built for exploring
the rugged Kimberley coastal wilderness,
the True North is luxury expedition
cruising at its finest.
