True North Luxury Adventure Cruise
Location
Purpose-built with a minimal draught to be able to access locations that larger ships cannot dream of attempting, True North gets to the most remote and inaccessible places. You’ll anchor next to cascading waterfalls or be able to snorkel on pristine fringing coral reefs straight from the deck. Shore excursions to phenomenal locations by 20-foot runabout tenders or helicopter mean that the location of True North is effectively ‘almost anywhere’.
Accommodation
A crew of 22 vivacious, youthful and knowledgeable Aussies ensure that all guests are not just pampered but also encouraged to engage with and explore the pristine locations. This is a ‘can do’ boat in all senses, so expect to embrace thrills, experiment with exciting meals and have an attitude of no worries in your downtime.
With a scale that encourages you to get to know everyone on board, there’s every chance that you’ll form lifelong friendships as you share a glass of something cool while gazing at the ever-changing and sublime coastal views. There’s no shortage of places to enjoy them: the sundeck, a forward observation lounge, the main lounge, the alfresco bar and the dining room are your choices.
In laid-back style, the lounge transforms into a venue for talks by on-board naturalists. As for dining, the galley door is always open so that you can spend time with the chefs learning the secrets of modern Australian cuisine, which is sustainable, organic and constantly refreshed by experimentation and adventure.
