Australia’s Pioneering Cruise Line

From humble beginnings on the Great Barrier Reef, we have taken our fleet of small ships to explore the remote coastlines of the Kimberley, Tasmania, Papua New Guinea, and beyond. With the launch of our new vessel Coral Adventurer, we continue our story of pioneering expeditions in tropical waters.

A passion for expedition cruising

For over 35 years, Coral Expeditions has had one purpose – taking small groups of likeminded explorers to the most remote parts of the world with expert guidance and warm Australian hospitality.

Warm Australian Hospitality

Proudly sailing under the Australian Flag, we uphold the highest standards of safety, while providing a relaxed and intimate atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Enjoy small-batch Australian cuisine and regional wines featuring fresh local ingredients from our destinations.

Small groups, untouched places

We explore destinations away from the well-trodden tourist trail. Our small ship fleet provides the flexibility to visit pristine destinations, uninhabited islands, or rugged inlets inaccessible to larger vessels. Our small group sizes enable us to have minimal impact on the communities and environments we visit.

Time to connect, space to enjoy

Our extended time ashore, expert guides, and unique tender vessels provide the opportunity to truly connect with the people and places we visit. Experience authentic encounters with nature and culture and forge new friendships with fellow explorers.

We bring you closer

Immersive experiences, respect for cultures and a connection with communities are the foundation of our expeditions. We bring you closer to nature, culture, and history through the spirit of discovery and shared knowledge.
