Coral Princess Cruises, Australia’s pioneers of small ship expedition cruising, has appointed PEPR Publicity to manage its Australian and New Zealand public relations.
PEPR Publicity Director, Philip Engelberts, will oversee the account supported by Account Manager, Antoneth Spaziani.
PEPR will work with Coral Princess Cruises to further cement its position as Australia’s premier expedition cruise line by rolling out a broad program of media engagement as well as assisting Coral Princess Cruises on major projects and new itinerary launches.
Operating for over 32 years Coral Princess Cruises is widely recognised as the pioneer of expedition cruising in the Australasian region. It was the first to offer extended cruises on the Great Barrier Reef, the Kimberley, and further afield through Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and New Zealand with Australian owned and flagged ships.
Adventure, comfort and quality dining experiences delivered in a professional yet relaxed environment by all-Australian and New Zealand staff are at the heart of the Coral Princess Cruises experience. Excursions ashore are led by an experienced expedition team, including an Expedition Leader and Guest Lecturers. The three-ship fleet includes two 35-metre catamarans Coral Princess and Coral Princess II, and the state-of-the-art flagship Oceanic Discoverer.
Oceanic Discoverer accommodates 72 guests in comfortable and stylish Bridge, Promenade and Main Deck Staterooms.
Coral Princess and Coral Princess II accommodate 48 and 44 guests respectively in Deluxe Staterooms, Staterooms and Cabins.
Each ship is equipped with a flexible range of excursion tenders, including the unique Xplorer vessel, a fleet of Zodiacs and on selected itineraries, a glass bottom boat and kayaks so guests can travel ashore with comfort and ease.
Mark Fifield, Group General Manager, Coral Princess Cruises said, ‘The latter half of 2015 is going to be action-packed for Coral Princess Cruises. We’re thrilled to welcome PEPR to the team as we embark on an exciting period.’
