Power Sockets

Power outlets in the vessel is fitted with universal electrical plugs for your convenience. Power sockets are International – so for Australian market – just plug directly in.

Footwear Adventure

Expedition travel is about getting to remote places that are often rocky, sandy, wet and glasslands. Sturdy, comfortable footwear is essential. Each destination may have slightly different requirements however every cruise will require runners or walking boots that are worn in and comfortable. If you are worried about ankles etc make sure you have boots that support you.   

Important Note

For wet landings, cheaper neoprene reef shoes, flip-flops, and crocs are not suitable for any terrain. If you do not want to invest in a new pair of sandals, you can use old runners (that will get ruined) for getting your feet wet and then change into dry walking shoes. This does mean carrying a second pair of shoes and a hand towel to dry your feet.

Comfortable walking shoes and wet landing shoes such as reef walkers, Tevas or old sneakers are recommended.

All vessels are equipped to deal with the majority dietary requirements with 4 weeks notice.  If you have any questions or concerns please speak with us prior to booking a cruise. 

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Nestled on the Ocean Deck is the main dining area, lounge, and bar. As the skilled chefs craft your locally-inspired dinner, take a moment for a pre-dinner drink before being spoiled with the finest produce Australia has to offer. If you’re interested in exploring some of PASPALEY’s exquisite offerings, you’ll be delighted by their showcase of the world’s most beautiful pearls, available for purchase as a cherished memento of your time on board.

Tea and Coffee: 24-hour barista-style coffee and tea station
Beverages: A fine selection of  wines, beers, juices, soft drinks and selected spirits are served complimentary. A top tier wine selection will also be available to purchase.

Special Meal Requirements

Special dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, are incorporated into all menus. The chefs are happy to accommodate other dietary needs with advance notice.

A big part of being on an ‘expedition’ is getting away to the more remote corners of the world. This can mean interrupted signals and service on board.

Stay seamlessly connected with your loved ones around the clock with complimentary and unlimited Wi-Fi! As a friendly reminder, given the remote destinations you explore, there might be occasional challenges with connectivity and speed.

We offer four custom exploration vessels, designed to enhance your adventure. Each vessel features shaded areas, forward-facing seating options, an easy drop-down bow for smooth landings, and a swim platform at the rear. These vessels provide a more comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional zodiacs.

Included in conjunction with embarkation and disembarking the ship.  We endeavour to have this available for each itinerary
