The Explorer Class staterooms and the River Class cabins offer king size beds that can be converted to singles and the Ocean Class twins feature roomy single beds.

Multiple expedition boats provide guests with greater opportunity to do "what they want, when they want" and, to add yet another dimension to adventure, most cruise options feature an onboard helicopter.  What's more the True North is purpose built for exploration of the upper reaches of shallow river systems as well as secluded beaches, bays and natural harbours as she weaves among thousands of deserted islands.

Kimberley Wilderness Cruise (13 nights or 6/7 nights Broome - Wyndham & Wyndham - Hunter River)

The vast, exciting Kimberley region is one of the world's last great wildernesses. Situated in the remote far north of Western Australia, it is like nowhere else on earth: Wildly beautiful landscapes of rugged mountain ranges, spectacular river gorges and majestic waterfalls.

A typical day might involve exploring a remote estuary, trying to land the evening meal, swimming in rock pools beneath towering cascades, or viewing ancient aboriginal cave paintings. The region is steeped in curious stories of legendary human endeavour - of shipwreck, survival and tragedy.
