Coral Expeditions

The 42-guest Coral Expeditions II, formerly known as Coral Princess II, operates year-round on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. At just 115 feet in length and with a shallow 8-foot draft, she is the ideal small ship for discovering the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef. The Coral Expeditions II is small enough to allow snorkeling directly from the ship, yet equipped with the facilities of a much larger vessel.

Refurbished during early 2015, Coral Expeditions II is fully equipped for the ultimate Great Barrier Reef cruising experience. Australian flagged, registered and staffed, Coral Expeditions II was purpose-built for cruising in Australia and is the ideal size to access the very best parts of the Great Barrier Reef.

The Coral Discoverer is equipped with modern navigation technology and is actively stabilized to ensure comfortable cruising in open seas. Her efficiency at getting passengers off the ship exploring remote areas is unparalleled as she offers a diverse choice of expedition vessels, including two Zodiacs, five kayaks (four double and one single), a glass-bottom boat and an Xplorer tender with a water-activity platform for easy entry into the water for snorkeling and kayaking.

"The Coral Geographer is a 120-guest Australian expedition ship set to begin cruising in Australia, Indonesia, Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean in early 2021.

Currently under construction in Vietnam at a Norwegian-owned shipyard, this ship will join her sister ship, Coral Adventurer, as one of the newest small ships cruising Australia and beyond.

Guests now enjoy the outdoor bar area with protection from sun and wind. Updated furniture inside the dining room provides improved comfort and a refreshed environment. Choose the Coral Expeditions I if you are seeking a smaller vessel to explore Australia's off-the-beaten-path locales.
