A Coral Princess Cruise is a Great Barrier Reef and Island Experience you will never forget. A cruise of discovery and adventure exploring Australia's renowned tropical paradise and World Heritage Marine and National Parks. The expedition style cruise ships are large enough to provide all the comforts of larger cruise ships, yet small enough to access reef and island sites inaccessible to other vessels. As we carry a maximum of just 54 passengers, your environmental experience will be both personal and memorable. And there is as much to do as you want, or as little to do as you like - snorkelling, guided beach walks and presentations by our marine biologist - or simply take the time to relax on the sundeck or in the spa. The choice is yours!
accommodation
Accommodation on Coral Princess is based on double occupancy. If you are travelling alone and wish to share accommodation, a roommate will be assigned for you whenever possible.
