The emphasis of each True North cruise is on experiencing the destination, and there are plenty of activities, both on shore and in the water, to really get to know the regions of Australian wilderness you’ll be visiting. You’ll be taken in expedition vehicles in small groups to explore lesser-visited areas that are of particular interest to you. As there are multiple expedition vehicles, there’s a lot of flexibility when it comes to deciding what to do and when, adding to the laid-back atmosphere on board. You could be snorkelling, fishing, diving, mud crabbing, hiking, taking scenic helicopter flights and listening to lectures by on-board naturalists.
The crew of 20 provide a highly personal service to each guest. When you’re not out exploring, you can relax on the sun deck or enjoy a refreshing drink at the bar.
