How Much Does an Arctic Expedition Really Cost? (2026 Pricing Guide)
“So how much is an Arctic cruise then?” It’s one…
Let’s talk about something we hear a lot — especially when it comes to the Kimberley:

Why Booking Direct Could Cost You More on a Kimberley Cruise
The best value is with us
“We booked directly because it was cheaper.”
Honestly? That’s just not true the majority of the time.
And more importantly — cheap doesn’t always mean good value.
Finding the perfect fit — our happy travellers, Lisa and Ian, chose the cruise that matched their adventure style, and it made all the difference
There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all in expedition cruising
Booking direct might get you a cabin on a ship…
But is it the right one for you?
We say it often because it’s true:
“It’s not a great value trip if you’re on the wrong vessel.”
The Kimberley is a big investment. You don’t want to realise you chose the wrong experience once you’re onboard.
(If you haven’t read my post about the poor man stuck on the wrong boat, you should.)
We give independent advice — and tailor the trip to you
We don’t represent one cruise line. We represent you.
Every client we work with gets expert, first-hand recommendations based on years of Kimberley experience. Whether it’s hiking intensity, fishing opportunities, cultural depth, luxury level, or size of ship — we help you choose smart, not just cheap.
Personalised and unforgettable — every traveller’s dream looks different, like in this case, fishing

We match cruise line specials — and often beat them
You get access to all the same early birds, bonuses, and limited offers you’ll see advertised online…
But nine times out of ten, we add even more value.

Here's what we've included in recent bookings:
Free flights and hotel nights
Two-for-one Ghan journeys

Private transfers and bonus inclusions
We work hard to build amazing packages that maximise your time and money.
We spot the small print — before it costs you
Cruise line offers can look appealing at first glance, but they don’t always tell the full story.
We’ve seen “specials” with hidden surcharges, strict cancellation terms, and confusing fine print. We know where to look — and what to ask — so you’re not caught off guard by unexpected costs, non-refundable deposits, or downgraded inclusions.
When you book with us, you get transparency, clarity, and peace of mind — not just a flashy deal.
Talk to us — no pressure, no fluff
Below we’ve listed some of our current Kimberley specials and packages.
