Adventure & Expedition Cruises

Cruising expeditions that take you on a path less travelled, exploring a taste for life's little luxuries.

Adventure cruising at it's finest.

Orion is a purpose built vessel which has been designed to access the inaccessible, all in 5-star luxury. And it does. 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!

Orion's innovative expeditions are year-round and vary with the seasons:
- Summer (December to February): Antarctica and New Zealand and sub-Antarctic Islands.
- Autumn (March, April): in remote and unspoilt parts of Papua New Guinea and Melanesia.
- Winter (April to September): in the Kimberley and Arnhem Land.
- Spring (October, November): we return to PNG and explore Australia's East & South Coast.

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 which are designed to enhance the experience of destination exploration for our guests. From Camel Safaris in Broome to snorkelling over pristine coral formations, there are many unique opportunities for guests to visit areas of Australia (and Orion's other destinations) that even most Australians don’t get to see.
