Coral Expeditions

Coral Adventurer

Coral Adventurer

Launched in 2019, Coral Adventurer was designed to expand our reach into more remote regions while maintaining the hallmarks of small ship exploration. With capacity for 120 guests, she offers spacious staterooms, many with private balconies, as well as open deck spaces and vibrant communal areas. Her twin Xplorer tenders allow for swift and comfortable shore excursions without the need for wet landings, while onboard features such as the Xplorer Bar and lecture lounge foster a sociable and enriching atmosphere. Coral Adventurer is ideal for longer voyages and international expeditions.

YOUR ‘XPLORER’ TENDER VESSEL

The “Xplorer” is a specially designed aluminium excursion vessel used for most excursions. Accommodating all passengers at one time, “Xplorer” is conveniently equipped with an awning and toilet. Featuring high horsepower engines, “Xplorer” is used for landings and for extensive exploration of rivers and tributaries. Boarding is directly from the ship’s main deck, where a hydraulic platform gently lowers you into the water.

Features

  • Two ‘Xplorer’ tenders facilitate comfortable shore excursions
  • Six zodiacs allow for more intrepid exploration
  • Lecture lounge, for daily expedition briefings and expert presentations
  • Small onboard library featuring books on destinations and wildlife
  • A well equipped gym
  • Passenger elevator
  • Wi-Fi throughout the ships
  • Shallow draft and advanced navigation and propulsion systems, allowing access to locations closed to larger cruise ships

Food & Wine

On board you will discover a personal and relaxed atmosphere befitting Coral Expeditions’ Australian heritage. There are no formal nights, organised entertainment or designated seating. Instead, you will enjoy a convivial atmosphere shared by like-minded explorers, your experienced and friendly crew always at hand.

Enjoy freshly prepared meals from the open galley featuring local ingredients from the regions visited. Relax in the spacious and open atmosphere of  indoor and outdoor bars and dining areas. Enjoy craft beers, artisanal spirits and wines sourced from Australia and New Zealand’s finest terroirs at the end of a long day ashore.

Coral Expeditions offer two wine packages, which guests may purchase in addition to a house selection, which feature hand-selected Australian wines and French Champagne.

  • A Taste of Australia Selection: Six bottles featuring Australian wines – three reds, two whites and a rosé.
  • Connoisseur Selection: Six bottles featuring two whites, three reds and French Champagne.

Your friendly staff and crew have one focus – to help you enjoy the trip of a lifetime. They will always be willing to assist and with a genuine care – that is part of Coral Expeditions’ culture.

Cabins

The Coral Adventurer features all outside-facing guest cabins with ensuite bathrooms; the majority have a private balcony. Active stabilisers dampen sea motion whilst travelling on your voyage. Coral Adventurer also features a well equipped gym, passenger elevator and Wi-Fi in all areas for guest comfort.
