Coral Geographer: Kimberley Cruise
As a sister ship to Coral Adventurer (which was launched April 2019), the Coral Geographer will remain true to the nature of authentic expeditions. When designing the next generation of ships, Coral Expeditions resisted the trend to go large and glitzy so they can remain small enough to go to untouched places, focusing on bringing small numbers of like-minded guests closer to nature and cultures with personal attention and professional Australian service. The 120-passenger ship will feature the same state-of-the-art specifications and expedition features as the Adventurer, however due to popular demand, she will have an increased number of 6 bridge deck suites with horizon bathtubs. Construction is well under way and we look forward to providing you regular updates on her build and future sailing schedule.
- Two trademark Xplorer tenders seat all passengers and facilitate comfortable shore excursions
- Six zodiacs for more intrepid exploration
- Lecture lounge for daily expedition briefings and expert presentations
- Small onboard library featuring books on destinations and wildlife
- Shallow draft and advanced navigation and propulsion systems allowing access to locations closed to large cruise ships

Expert guides interpret ancient rock art, and retrace the history of Phillip Parker King who first charted this spectacular coastline 200 years ago. Later in the season, witness the Humpback Whales on their migration.
Board a Zodiac and touch the spray from the magnificent King George River and its towering 80-metre twin falls. Join an expert guide to learn about the history of the ancient Wandjina and Gwion Gwion rock paintings.
