| Welcome
To Australia and New Zealand small-ship cruising
Let multi award-winning Coral Princess Cruises introduce you to
Australia’s most famous natural wonder – the Great Barrier
Reef.
With 25 years experience and an unrivalled reputation for cruising
excellence, our exclusive itineraries introduce the very best of
the Great Barrier Reef and tropical islands in total comfort and
unmatched style.
Our
aim is to show you the hidden jewels of the Great Barrier Reef –
the reef, ancient rainforest and secluded tropical islands most
visitors never see. Our exclusive reef moorings mean you won’t
be surrounded by hundreds of other reef visitors – and our
small ships accommodate a maximum of just 50 guests, ensuring an
intimate and personalised experience.
But the beauty of a Coral Princess Cruise is that you can be as
adventurous – or as relaxed – as you please. Explore
remote coral cays, deserted but for a myriad of colourful tropical
fish, peaceful tropical islands and primordial rainforests well
beyond the reach of most visitors, or simply relax on the sun deck
or in the open-bridge or spa as we cruise serenely through some
of the most awe-inspiring scenery Australia has to offer. The choice
is yours!
Our
informative crew is always on hand to provide assistance and information
about the fascinating Reef life and habitats. Aboard our glass bottom
boat, the reef is your oyster as our Marine Biologist explains the
many wonders clearly revealed under the boat. Or, snorkel your way
amongst giant clams, colourful corals and multi-hued fish in clear
tropical waters. Our experienced Dive Instructor can take you for
an exhilarating introductory SCUBA dive, revealing even more of
this breathtaking World Heritage-listed wonderland.
Coral Princess guests are among the privileged few who see the
true, innocent beauty of tropical North Queensland.
Eco-Cruising
Coral Princess Cruises is proudly an Eco Certified company. Coral
Princess offers a unique, intimate environmental experience incorporating
soft adventure and expedition style encounters.
Protecting our environment, National Parks and the Great Barrier
Reef is one of our top priorities.

Discover New Zealand
Coral Princess Cruises invites you to join them to discover the
‘Land of the Long White Cloud”, New Zealand. Join our
12 night expedition cruise from Auckland to Milford Sound, taking

tip of New Zealand’s beautiful North Island and spectacular
Bay of Islands.
Gain a personal insight in to the awe-inspiring scenery and intriguing
wildlife with the help of our informative onboard experts and in
the company of a maximum of just 70 other guests. Our cruises can
be as relaxed or as adventurous as you choose – laze on the
sun deck or in the spa with a cocktail, enjoy the finest of local
dining, or put on your walking shoes and explore some of the region’s
144 islands. The choice is yours!.
The Coral Princess
Fleet
Our expedition style cruise ships are large enough to provide
all the comforts of larger cruise ships, yet small enough to enable
us to access reef and island sites inaccessible to other vessels.
