Overview

True North is Australia's premier luxury small expedition ship, with just 36 guests onboard at any time. True North cruises the best of the Kimberley from March to October, before travelling Australia's coastline on exclusive departures taking in WA's South West coast, South Australia and more. The boat features a shallow draft – drawing just 2.5 metres - so can go where larger ships cannot, allowing for daily adventures to gorges, waterfalls, hikes and islands. Personal service and attention to detail are hallmarks of any True North experience, with 22 crew members ready to look after guests at a moment’s notice and six dedicated expedition boats ready to take guests where they want, when they want. The ship’s helicopter, an EC 130, is also available for guests to discover those incredible Kimberley gorges and waterfalls by air. The food and wine experience onboard completes the True North experience, with special destination drinks in remote locations one of the ways the crew creates lasting memories.

True North II offers the same exceptional experience as its sister ship True North, but on a more intimate level, with just 22 guests and 14 crew members onboard at any time. Most cruises are available on either ship - enquire for details.
