A Coral Princess Cruise is a Great Barrier Reef and Island experience you will never forget. Enjoy 3 nights of discovery and adventure exploring Australia's renowned tropical paradise and World Heritage Marine and National Parks.

Our award-winning 35 metre expedition style cruise ships, Coral Princess and Coral Princess II, are large enough to provide all the comforts and facilities you would expect from larger cruise ships, yet small enough to enable us to access reef and island sites inaccessible to other vessels. With our open bridge policy and a maximum of just 50 passengers, your environmental experience will be both personal and memorable.

And there is as much to as you want, or as little to do as you like - snorkelling, guided coral viewing excursions in our glass bottom boats, scuba diving, guided rainforest walks and presentations by our Marine Biologists - or simply take the time to relax on the sundeck or in the spa. The choice is yours!
