Coral Expeditions

Coral Expeditions has launched a new series of four- and six-night small ship voyages called Coastal Adventures, with the shorter, more flexible adventure product aimed at a “new generation of explorers”.

Coral Expeditions has wrapped up the final sailings of its 30th consecutive year of operations in the Kimberley and celebrates the best performance and highest guest sentiment ratings in the company’s long history in the region. The season included 52 departures between March and October hosting over 4,000 passengers onboard.

Coral Expeditions has added a new “Solo Share” program to complement its existing offering of Solo Supplement, Solo Standby and the Solo Specials, which have been long-standing options for guests.

Coral Expeditions has unveiled an inaugural culinary-themed itinerary inspired between Adelaide and Melbourne. The 8-night voyage aboard the flagship Coral Adventurer will showcase the cuisine of the Southern Ocean region, including seafood and the world-class wine regions of South Australia and Victoria.
