Coral Princess Cruises has
released its 2015 Kimberley
program “well ahead of
schedule”, as the region heats
up with extra competition
from Silversea and Lindblad
Expeditions.
The Australian company, which
pioneered cruising along the
Kimberley Coast in 1996, decided
to open bookings this week in
response to “soaring demand” for
next season.
Celebrating its 20th year of
business, Coral Princess will
operate a record 34 departures
between Apr and Oct aboard the
72-pax Oceanic Discoverer and
the newly refurbished 48-pax
catamaran Coral Princess.
A spokesperson for the
company emphasised that the
100% Australian-owned, flagged
and staffed operation avoided the
need to transit an international
port (such as Bali) as part of its
Kimberley itinerary, allowing a
minimum of two landings on
most days.
Prices for the line’s 10-night
cruise aboard Oceanic Discoverer
in 2015 start at $9,190pp and
from $7,590 pp on Coral Princess.
The company also operates
year-round small ship cruises on
the Great Barrier Reef, Cape York
and Arnhem Land, Papua New
Guinea, the South Pacific islands,
New Zealand and the Raja
Ampat & Spice Islands regions of
Indonesia.

season, phone 1800 079 545 or
