Accommodation

During this premium adventure cruise, you will spend 10 nights on the Coral Adventurer, Coral Discoverer or Coral Geographer. Coral Adventurer Launched in April 2019, Coral Adventurer is a 99-passenger ship built to take you closer to unspoiled vistas in comfort, style and safety. When Coral Expeditions set out to build the Adventurer, they wanted a ship that would last decades. Their search to build for quality and technology took them to shipbuilders in Norway who have a long history of constructing durable ships for the harsh North Sea. Coral Expeditions also looked deep inside to capture the requirements of their guests, crew and the areas they sail. The result is a happy marriage of modern shipbuilding technology and cruising Australian style. Bridge Deck Balcony Suite The two Cairns and Darwin suites are spacious and elegant retreats after a busy day ashore Suites are equipped with a lounge area, minibar and personal coffee machine They have a spacious super king-size bed The 86sqft (8sqm) private balcony has an outdoor daybed and lounge chair for two A unique outside-facing bathroom with picture windows, bath and separate shower complete the suite experience The complimentary minibar is replenished daily Bridge Deck Balcony Suites are 601sqft (55.8sqm) Bridge Deck Balcony Stateroom The two Bridge Deck staterooms are comfortably furnished with a junior king-size bed which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact ensuite has a toilet, shower and ample storage French windows opening to a balcony with seating for two give you a private perch to watch the panorama outside These staterooms are on the bridge deck with superb views and adjacent to the Cairns and Darwin suites Bridge Deck Balcony Staterooms are 230sqft (21.4sqm) Explorer Deck Balcony Stateroom Explorer Deck staterooms are below the Bridge Deck and are comfortably furnished with a junior king-size bed, which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact en suite has a toilet, shower and ample storage Your private balcony has seating for two from which to view the passing coastal vistas Explorer Deck Balcony Staterooms are 230sqft (21.4sqm) Promenade Deck Stateroom Promenade Deck Staterooms are below the Explorer Deck and are identically furnished with a junior king-size bed, which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact en suite has a toilet, shower and ample storage A large picture window gives you wide views of the world outside Promenade Deck Staterooms are 183sqft (17sqm) Coral Deck Stateroom Coral Deck Staterooms are below the Promenade Deck and furnished with a junior king-size bed which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact ensuite has a toilet, shower and ample storage A porthole window gives you views of the world outside Coral Deck Staterooms are 183sqft (17sqm)  Coral Discoverer Launched in 2005, the Coral Discoverer set a new benchmark of sophistication in expedition cruising. It is a 72-passenger ship built to take you closer to unspoiled vistas in comfort, style and safety. A shallow draught and manoeuvrability allow it to reach some of the most remote and rarely visited coastlines and islands in Australia. Her tender vessel, Xplorer, features a hydraulic lowering system and can seat all 72 passengers for excursions to beaches and rivers. Coral Discoverer is equipped with the latest technology active stabilisers to ensure comfortable cruising in open waters and is fitted with modern safety and navigation equipment and wireless internet facilities. Built to international SOLAS standards and with one aim in mind: to create the ultimate small-ship cruising experience. It’s also Australian flagged and staffed entirely by an Australian and New Zealand crew. In 2016, a significant upgrade and refresh of the facilities has brought the amenities to an even higher level. The Sun Deck, home to the circular Explorer Bar, has become a new social space and the hub of on-board community living. Guest accommodation also received a substantial upgrade with the addition of six Bridge Deck Balcony Staterooms providing coveted inside-outside living quarters. All other Stateroom grades also received a full upgrade with updated bathroom fixtures, soft furnishings and artwork providing an even more comfortable stay. Bridge Deck Balcony Stateroom Located on the exclusive Bridge Deck close to the Lounge and Bridge The six spacious Bridge Deck staterooms are 20sqm (215sqft) Staterooms open onto private balconies for expansive ocean views Furnished with a sofa, desk, telephone and your choice of junior king or twin bedding Promenade Deck (Category A) Stateroom Encircled by a full-ship promenade The 19 spacious Promenade Deck (Category A) staterooms are 18sqm (195sqft) Featuring picture windows for expansive ocean views Furnished with a sofa, desk, telephone and your choice of junior king or twin bedding Promenade Deck (Category B) Stateroom – sole-use only In the bow of the ship and encircled by a full-ship promenade The two Promenade Deck (Category B) staterooms are 15sqm (160sqft) Featuring picture windows for expansive ocean views Furnished with a desk, telephone and junior king bedding These rooms are allocated for sole-use only Main deck (Category A) Stateroom Located close to the Dining Room The six spacious Main Deck (Category A) staterooms are 18sqm (195sqft) Featuring large, twin porthole windows for expansive ocean views Furnished with a desk, sofa, telephone and your choice of junior king or twin bedding Main Deck (Category B) staterooms Located close to the Dining Room The three spacious Main Deck (Category B) staterooms are 18sqm (195sqft) Featuring twin portholes for expansive ocean views Furnished with a desk, sofa, telephone and your choice of junior king or twin bedding Coral Geographer Launched in March 2021, Coral Expeditions are proud to introduce their newest ship – Coral Geographer. A sister ship to Coral Adventurer, the Coral Geographer remains true to the nature of authentic expeditions. When designing their next generation of ships, Coral Expeditions stubbornly resisted the idea of 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 shallow draught and manoeuvrability of the ship allow it to go where larger vessels cannot. The 99-passenger ship features the same state-of-the-art specifications and expedition features as Coral Adventurer; however, due to popular demand, it has an increased number of six Bridge Deck Suites with horizon bathtubs. Bridge Deck Balcony Suite There are six spacious and elegant suites on the Coral Geographer They are equipped with a lounge area, minibar and personal coffee machine They have special junior king-size beds A 38sqft (3.5sqm) private balcony has an outdoor daybed and lounge chair for two The unique outside-facing bathroom with floor-to-ceiling windows is the feature of the suites, with an infinity bathtub with sky views The complimentary minibar is replenished daily Bridge Deck Balcony Suites are 404sqft (37.5sqm) Explorer Deck Balcony Stateroom Explorer Deck staterooms are comfortably furnished with a junior king-size bed, which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact ensuite has a toilet, shower and ample storage Your private balcony has seating for two from which to view the passing coastal vistas These staterooms are on the Explorer deck Explorer Deck Balcony Staterooms are 230sqft (21.4sqm) Promenade Deck Stateroom Promenade Deck Staterooms are below the Explorer deck and furnished with a junior king-size bed, which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact en suite has a toilet, shower and ample storage A large picture window gives you wide views of the world outside Promenade Deck Staterooms are 183sqft (17sqm) Coral Deck Stateroom Coral Deck Staterooms are below the Promenade Deck and are identically furnished with a junior king-size bed, which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact en suite has a toilet, shower and ample storage A porthole window gives you views of the world outside Coral Deck Staterooms are 183sqft (17sqm) Specific cabin types can be booked for sole use (subject to availability).
