Overview

Founded in early 2004, Australian owned and operated, Orion Expedition Cruises has developed voyages to encourage guests to become a part of the region they are discovering.

Orion is a purpose built vessel designed to access the inaccessible, all in five-star luxury. The ship combines the best and the latest in design with maritime and environmental technology, comfort and casual elegance. From the ice-strengthened hull to the chilled champagne and superb cuisine, this is expedition cruising at its finest.

Described as the latest in the quest to build the perfect expedition vessel, all Orion’s staterooms feature ocean views and offer internet access, flat-screen TV, DVD/CD, a choice of twin and queen-sized beds, a sitting area and marble bathrooms. Other on board amenities include a health spa with gymnasium, sauna, sun deck Jacuzzi and a stern marina platform.

Orion offers a range of included and optional Shoreside Expeditions designed to enhance the destination exploration for guests. From Camel Safaris in Broome to snorkeling over pristine coral formations, there are many unique opportunities for guests to visit areas of Australia that even most Australians don’t get to see. As part of Orion's commitment to offering guests an enriching experience, on board speakers have been selected for their knowledge and expertise on the regions they visit. Guests are invited to attend presentations in the 90-seat Lecture Theatre.

Innovative expeditions are year round and vary with the seasons:

• Winter (April to September) in the Kimberley.
• Spring (October, November) and Autumn (March, April) in remote and unspoiled parts of Papua New Guinea, Melanesia and New Zealand.
• Summer (December, January and February) in the Tasman Sea, Tasmania and Antarctica.

Orion Expedition Cruises would be delighted to have you join them on a voyage to some of the most wonderful but rarely seen places on earth.
