The wilderness wonder of Australia’s Kimberley is a bucket-list destination for many Australians. Flights to the remote, north-west of the continent can be a deterrent but Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, is offering free return flights as part of exclusive, new cruise packages it has curated with Australia’s own Coral Expeditions.
Cruise Traveller has released 17 packages departing between March and August, 2026, each 11-nights long and including free return flights to Darwin and Broome, a night’s hotel stay pre-cruise and a 10-night Kimberley cruise with Coral Expeditions from Darwin to Broome, or vice versa.
Based in Australia, Coral Expeditions has championed the spirit of adventure for more than 40 years and operates a fleet of boutique, technologically advanced ships that provide many of the comforts of larger vessels but without the crowds. Their small ships are able to navigate into shallow bays, allowing guests to step ashore onto remote beaches and jetties, and visit small villages to make authentic connections without overwhelming a community.
One of Cruise Traveller’s 17 packages begins on May 12, 2026, with a free flight from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth to Darwin, a night’ stay in the NT capital and then a 10-night Kimberley cruise from Darwin to Broome aboard Coral Expedition’s 120-guest exploration ship, Coral Adventurer, which is purpose-designed to access remote wilderness regions in the tropics.
The itinerary embraces the best of the remote and ruggedly spectacular Kimberley landscape with its magnificent waterfalls, ancient rock art, gushing tides, turquoise waters, coral reefs, deserted islands, secluded coves, fiery sunsets, abundant wildlife and rich rock art. Daily excursions led by an expert Australian team onboard purpose- built Xplorer tenders allow guests to travel in remote comfort and explore for longer. Guests are also treated to sunset canapés and drinks on the beach to toast the powerful forces of nature which created the magnificent kaleidoscope of the Kimberley.
At journey’s end in Broome, guests receive a free flight back to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth.
Including the free flights, hotel stay, complimentary daily shore excursions and selected beverages during onboard lunches and dinners, fares for the 11-night ‘Kimberley Adventurer’ package are available from A$13,690 per person, twin-share, in a sea-view stateroom. Book by June 30, 2025. Subject to availability and conditions apply.
