We are proud to announce the build of our fifth expedition ship. As a sister ship to Coral Adventurer, the Coral Geographer will remain true to our nature of true authentic expeditions. When designing our next generation of ships, we stubbornly resisted the trend to go large and glitzy so we can remain small enough to go to untouched places, focusing on bringing small numbers of like-minded guests closer to nature and cultures with personal attention and professional Australian service.

The 120-passenger ship will feature the same state-of-the-art specifications and expedition features, however due to popular demand, she will have an increased number of 6 bridge deck suites with horizon bathtubs. Construction is well under way and we look forward to providing you regular updates on her build and future sailing schedule.
