Description
Step aboard an unforgettable Kimberley Cruise and journey into one of Australia’s most remote and awe-inspiring regions. With over 35 years of exploration experience, this 10-night expedition combines expert knowledge with thrilling adventure. From the moment you depart Broome or Darwin, every day reveals a new wonder waiting to be discovered.
Throughout your Kimberley Cruise, you’ll visit towering waterfalls, like the majestic King George Falls and terraced King Cascade. You’ll also explore ancient Indigenous rock art galleries at Vansittart Bay and Swift Bay. Moreover, you’ll ride Zodiacs through the thundering Horizontal Falls, and marvel at the tidal drama of Montgomery Reef. Meanwhile, expert guides bring each location to life with cultural insights and geological stories.
As the journey unfolds, enjoy the comforts of small-ship expedition cruising. Each day offers something new—perhaps a swim beneath Ruby Falls, a walk to the Mermaid Tree, or a scenic helicopter flight over Mitchell Falls. In the evenings, share sunset drinks on the beach or relax in the ship’s lounge. Above all, this Kimberley Cruise offers rare access to places few will ever reach, supported by world-class hospitality and meaningful encounters with nature and culture alike.

- Navigate stairs and decks on a moving vessel safely.
Guests with mobility or medical limitations should carefully consider travel and consult us before booking. For safety reasons, crew may deny boarding or restrict participation in certain activities at their sole discretion.

What are the health requirements for the trips?
We advise that guests carry a current record of allergies or any chronic medical issues and the telephone number for their physician’s 24-hour answering service. As our itineraries cover remote regions and are active by nature, they may not be suitable for those with serious medical conditions. It is important that known medical conditions and treatments should be disclosed to reservations staff at the time of booking. In the event of a remote area emergency, medical history can be essential information for our team.
