Coral Discoverer

Setting a new standard in expedition cruising, the intimate 72 passenger Coral Discoverer can reach some of Australia’s most remote and rarely visited coastlines and islands. Staffed by an entirely Australian and New Zealand crew, itineraries also include the idyllic islands of the South Pacific, West Papua and the Spice Islands.  

Onboard Experiences 

Built to create the ultimate small ship cruising experience, Coral Discoverer is designed to capture ocean views from all public spaces, the expansive open-air sun deck and all outside facing staterooms.  

Explore onshore beaches and rivers in far flung locations, with access for all onshore excursions easily arranged with the tender vessel Xplore. Coral Discoverer takes great pride in its state-of-the-art tools for exploration with zodiacs, a glass bottom boat, scuba equipment and kayaks for added adventure.  

Relax in the onboard library or immerse yourself in onboard operations with a visit to the Open Bridge with navigator lounge giving a vantage point of ship operations or an engine room tour with the crew. Your journey of discovery also includes a series of lectures designed to lend greater depth and understanding to your experience. 

Staterooms are stylish and contemporary with many offering private balconies with expansive sofa, desk and a choice of bedding configurations.  

Onboard Dining 

A culinary journey of discovery is considered equally as important onboard Coral Discoverer with multiple indoor and outdoor bars available for a glass of fine wine or a cold craft beer after a day of discovery. The onboard wine cellar features boutique Australian wines to match with your menu of choice in the dining room.   

Passionate chefs delight in the creative freedom of an intimate ship experience, preparing small batch meals from fresh seasonal produce. Meals are served in a combination of family table platters for convivial sharing as well as table d’hote.
