Australia’s premier luxury adventure-cruise ship, the True North, delivers the finest activity-based itineraries designed specifically for the discerning adventurer. True North was purpose-built to sail deep into the heart of the wilderness and can visit untouched areas that larger ships cannot access. Guests are privy to only the highest quality experiences courtesy of True North’s on-board naturalists and marine biologists, a helicopter, six dedicated expedition boats and, a knowledgeable crew of 20 who tend to the every-need of just 36 guests.
North Star Cruises offers adventure-cruises all around the Australian coastline including their flagship Kimberly Wilderness Cruise. The Kimberley coastline is truly one of the world’s last great wilderness areas. Guests can explore secluded beaches and river inlets, and marvel at spectacular waterfalls, awe-inspiring gorges, ancient cultural history and indigenous rock art.
Cruise itineraries also include the stunning waters of West Papua (Indonesia), and Papua New Guinea. The True North repertoire in West Papua and Papua New Guinea offers life changing experiences for all – from the well-travelled aficionado, to the first-time cruiser eager to experience something different. Home to more than 800 different cultures and the largest area of rainforest outside the Amazon, Papua New Guinea is one of the world’s last frontiers.
All cruises are designed to allow passengers to ‘experience the destination’ – daily activities include scenic walks, helicopter flights, fishing, snorkeling, culture, picnics, nature, diving, cultural events and spectacular flights in the ship’s helicopter. Itineraries specifically exclude lengthy periods at sea and feature frequent daily excursions. Multiple expedition vessels take guests away in small groups to experience wilderness up close and The True North is the only Australian adventure-cruise ship that features a full-time on-board helicopter. With the ability to carry six persons in air-conditioned comfort, the helicopter provides a unique opportunity to explore and witness stunning scenery.
North Star Cruises’ ship, the True North, is 164 feet long with a seven foot draft. The ship was purpose-built to sail deep into the very heart of wilderness areas that larger ships simply cannot access. Cabins are spacious and feature modern décor, large en-suites bathrooms, satellite telephones and in-cabin entertainment. The ship’s modern Australian cuisine is supplemented with locally sourced ingredients and complemented by an outstanding selection of Australian wines. The True North features a sundeck, a forward observation lounge, a ship’s lounge, an alfresco bar and a sports deck.
