Coral Discoverer – Boutique Australian Expedition Cruising

Coral Discoverer is a premium small-ship expedition vessel purpose-built for exploring Australia’s remote coastlines and beyond. With a capacity for just 72 guests across 36 elegant staterooms, Coral Discoverer offers an intimate and immersive cruise experience that blends comfort, exploration, and Australian hospitality.

Proudly Australian-owned, operated, and crewed, the Coral Discoverer was launched in 2005 and most recently refurbished in 2017. She is part of the Coral Expeditions fleet—Australia’s pioneering expedition cruise line—and operates a wide range of itineraries showcasing some of the most pristine and hard-to-reach corners of the Asia-Pacific.

CRUISE DESTINATIONS

Coral Discoverer’s carefully crafted itineraries span multiple destinations across Australasia, each chosen for their cultural significance, natural beauty, and remoteness:

  • The Kimberley Coast (Western Australia)
    A flagship itinerary between Broome and Darwin, Coral Discoverer explores the ancient sandstone gorges, Aboriginal rock art, and mighty waterfalls of the Kimberley. Thanks to her shallow draught and small size, she accesses areas most other ships cannot. To learn more about our Kimberley cruises << CLICK HERE.

  • Tasmania
    Explore Tasmania’s wild coastlines and national parks, including Freycinet, Port Davey, and Maria Island. These cruises focus on nature, history, and gourmet Tasmanian produce.

  • Cape York & Arnhem Land
    Journey to the remote northern tip of Australia and immerse yourself in Indigenous culture, tropical wilderness, and rarely visited communities.

  • Great Barrier Reef
    Discover the lesser-known northern reaches of the Reef with expert guides and marine biologists on board. These cruises feature reef walks, snorkeling, and marine conservation experiences.

  • New Guinea & The Spice Islands
    Venture beyond Australia to explore Melanesian and Indonesian archipelagos—offering a mix of cultural exchange, island landscapes, and World War II history.
