True North Adventure Cruises
True North Expedition Cruises - A Luxury Lodge of Australia
Australia’s coastline stretches over 25,000 kilometres, a vast canvas of turquoise reefs, red-rock gorges, pristine white beaches, and sheltered bays that few will ever see. For those seeking cruises Australia can truly be proud of, True North offers something rare: genuine access to the country’s most spectacular and least-visited shores. This is not cruising as most know it. There are no crowded ports, no shuffling queues, no pre-packaged excursions. An Australian cruise aboard True North is built around exploration, daily adventures led by expert guides, an onboard helicopter that unlocks perspectives few travellers experience, and a shallow-draft vessel designed to navigate where larger ships simply cannot go. True North Adventure Cruises’ The True North and True North II offer flagship luxury cruises exploring incredible destinations around Australia and have been designed to allow guests to experience virtually unseen and untouched parts of Australia and to go where no other ships can go. True North offers cruises across all of Australia with the convenience of just 36 guests. This allows the crew of the True North to offer a much greater range of activities, for example fishing, mud crabbing, collecting oysters and sunset drinks on the beach. The small group also allows our crew greater opportunity to cater for personal preference and specific interests such as birdwatching and photography excursions. Inclusions: • All activities in the adventure boats • All fishing and snorkelling (where applicable) gear required • Local transfers to/from True North and True North II and port charges • Onboard naturalist presentations • Onboard conveniences such as Starlink Wi-Fi and laundry services • Destination inspired dining • House wine and beer at lunch and dinner service • Alcoholic beverages at select group events • Non-alcoholic beverages including cafe-style coffees
Exclusive Access to Untouched Australian Coastlines
Forget crowded ports; this expedition focuses on stretches of the Australian coastline most people will never witness. The shallow-draft vessel navigates where larger ships simply cannot go, revealing sheltered bays and pristine white-sand beaches. It’s the real Australia, accessed with sophisticated luxury.
Intimate Expeditions Centered on Hands-On Activities
With only 36 guests aboard the True North, the service remains incredibly personal and tailored to specific interests. The crew can easily arrange bespoke activities like deep-sea fishing, mud crabbing, or enjoying sunset drinks right on the beach. This small scale allows for a flexibility that large-ship cruising simply cannot match.
Aerial Perspectives Unlocked by Onboard Helicopter
A unique feature is the ability to view the landscape from above, thanks to the private helicopter carried on deck. Imagine seeing those red-rock gorges from a bird's-eye view before disembarking to explore the shoreline firsthand. This expedition ship is built to deliver visual experiences and activities that redefine adventure travel.
