Small
Ship Luxury Cruising
in the Kimberley and Cape York
|
 |
| Australian
Cruising |
| The grandeur and
contrasting colours of the Australian coast has inspired travellers
for generations - the harsh Outback, the lush rainforests and
the colourful Great Barrier Reef. Yet some of Australia's greatest
wilderness areas are still inaccessible by road. APT has selected
cruises that allow you can discover untouched regions of Australia
other travellers have yet to explore, all in truly luxurious
APT style. |

Kimberley
Coast and Gibb River Road
|
|
Indulge yourself with luxury
cruising aboard the Kimberley Quest II, witnessing the natural
marvels of this spectacular coastline including Mitchell Falls,
King Cascades and the Horizontal Falls. Numerous shore excursions
give you the freedom to explore, before your luxury APT coach
tour begins from Broome. Discover the majestic gorges of the
Gibb River Road, cruise the Ord River and view Aboriginal
rock art.
Alternatively cruise aboard
either the Oceanic Princess or Coral Princess. By 4WD, discover
the majestic gorges of the Gibb River Road, cruise the Ord
River, fly over Mitchell Falls, swim in the pools above the
falls and walk into World Heritage Purnululu (Bungle Bungle)
National Park. Then board your small ship to explore this
spectacular coastline including King Cascades and the Horizontal
