Small ships and unique itineraries take you to some of the most beautiful and remote regions of Australia. On board you will discover a personalised style of cruising. With ships carrying only 72 to 120 guests, you can say goodbye to queues, long waits, and assigned seating. Instead, enjoy a relaxed, convivial atmosphere shared with like-minded explorers.
Without crowds to worry about, the chefs can prepare small-batch meals made with Australian ingredients. Where possible, they procure from local food markets. The shallow draft and high manoeuvrability of the purpose-designed expedition ships get you closer on coastal adventures to explore the sheltered bays and hidden inlets inaccessible to larger ships.
Coral Cruises operate with a number of different small ships, all with similar facilities and deck plans. Please click the ship name and departure below to be taken to further information
