The Tasteful Traveller. True North Luxury Adventure Cruises.

When what’s on your fork is as important as the destination on your ticket, don’t settle for less than special. The on-board dining of True North cruises endeavours to provide sustainable, organic, and very Australian cuisine with unique, destination inspired menus. But more than the meal is the experience. Partake in oysters and champagne amongst the ancient rock-art of the Kimberly coast. Land the catch of the day alongside the very chef who will serve it up to you with “Fish with the Chef”. Aboard True North, guests are encouraged to spend time with the chefs to grow an intimate understanding of the quality of ingredients and the magic of every meal prepared. This is dining, the True North way.

An Intimate Itinerary. Silversea (Silver Discoverer)

Exploring the stunning surroundings of the Kimberley coastline requires more than grand cruising. While a smaller size than ordinary cruise vessels, the Silver Discoverer’s reach extends well beyond the limits of where her larger brethren could explore. A shallow draft allows the on-board luxury to brush up close to the natural beauty of Western Australia without disturbing the wildlife. A smaller ship also allows for more personalised attention from the dedicated crews and an intimate adventure in what is one of the most stunning locations in the world. A fleet of Zodiacs will allow you access and exploration from the water or remote landings anywhere nature or your own curiosity dictates.

The Wayfaring Family. Royal Caribbean

As any family knows, getting the balance right between kids and adult can be a difficult juggle. Royal Caribbean cruises excel at offering something for the whole family. Family-friendly dining includes an expedited dining experience, where kids are served their meals before heading off to the Adventure Ocean Youth Programme, keeping them entertained and occupied while you can enjoy the rest of your dinner. Fisher Price play groups and The DreamWorks Experience that features some of their most beloved film characters will all serve to provide memorable moments for the kids while the grown-ups make their own fun at on-board comedy shows, night clubs, cool lounges and more. What’s more, the children activities are all included with your ticket price. Its smiles all round on this family holiday!

Adult Adventures. P&O Cruises (The Arcadia)

It is adults only on this cruise. Arcadia is a mid-sized cruise ship that combines the chic with the classic. The perfect getaway for pampering and relaxation, the ship boasts a variety of dining options, including Marco Pierre White’s “Ocean Grill” and Atul Kochhar’s “East”, as well an expansive spa with thermal suite and hydro-therapy pool, and art gallery, and a boutique cinema offering a wide range of engaging films. Perfect for couples or adult groups, drift away into the bliss and luxury of this indulgent adventure.

The Jovial Journey. Carnival Cruises

Let the party begin with one of the most energetic and adventurous cruise liners sailing the seas. Carnival Cruises provide entertainment for all ages and host a wide range of entertainment, event and activities on board. From their top deck WaterWorks , Green Thunder Waterslide and swimming pools, to mini golf, EA Sports bar, cocktail bars, Playlist productions including musicals and Dr Seuss children shows. Karaoke for the brave, an extensive library for the readers, nightclubs, sweet shops, hair and beauty salon, an incredible offering of cafes and restaurants, and even jogging track.
