Founded in early 2004 and Australian owned and operated, Orion Expedition Cruises has developed voyages to enable guests to become part of the region that they are discovering. Orion is a purpose built vessel designed to access the inaccessible, all in 5-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.
Our innovative expeditions are year-round and vary with the seasons, winter (April to September) in the Kimberley and Arnhem Land. Spring (October, November) and autumn (March, April) in remote and unspoilt parts of Papua New Guinea, Melanesia and New Zealand and summer (December, January and February) in the Tasman Sea, Tasmania and Antarctica.
Described as the latest in the quest to build the perfect expedition vessel, all Orion's staterooms offer ocean views, internet access, flat-screen TV, DVD and CD players, a choice of twin or queen sized beds, a sitting area and marble bathrooms. Other on board amenities include a health spa with gym, 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 our guests. From Camel Safaris in Broome to snorkelling over pristine coral formations, there are many unique opportunities to visit remote areas of Australia that are little visited.
As part of our commitment to offering guests an enriching experience, on board speakers have been selected for their knowledge and expertise on the regions that are visited. Guests are invited to attend presentations in the 90 seat Lecture Theatre.
Orion Expedition Cruises offer luxury voyages to some of the most wonderful but rarely seen places on earth.
