CORAL Expeditions has announced a new itinerary, ‘Bounty of the Southern Ocean’, which is set to be the cruise line’s first culinary voyage.
Expeditioning from Adelaide to Melbourne next year, the itinerary is inspired by the shores of the Southern Ocean which border SA and Victoria.
The eight-night voyage departs 01 Dec on the cruise line’s flagship Coral Adventurer, allowing guests to discover the very best of the region’s produce, meet local growers, and explore the world-class wine regions of the two states.
A key highlight will be a ‘Taste of the Southern Ocean’ dinner event on board in Port MacDonnell, the southernmost town in SA, where Coral’s chefs will partner with local culinary experts to create a special menu which will be paired with curated wines from the state’s renowned Eden Valley, Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, and McLaren Vale regions.
During the cruise, passengers will enjoy fresh seafoods, craft brews, and artisanal spirits, indulging in wild, ocean-farmed abalone on Kangaroo Island, and freshly caught western rock lobster in the South Australian town of Robe.
They will learn about the myriad of culinary and medicinal uses of fungi and sample native indigenous bush ingredients found in the wild.
Cruisers will also circumnavigate the remote seal colony of Lady Julia Percy Island, take in the spectacle of a sunset sail by the Twelve Apostles, and enjoy guided walks through the Ramsar-protected wetlands of Phillip Island.
The voyage is on sale now, with a maximum capacity of 60 staterooms, prices start from $7,300 per person twin share.
A special earlybird saving of 10% will be offered for all guests who book before 31 Jul.
“This is an exciting new themed voyage in our schedule,” Operations and Hospitality Director Marcus Dudley said.
“Our culinary offerings often play a supporting role to the natural and cultural attractions of our destinations, so we are very excited to develop an itinerary that puts these into the spotlight.”
