Commissioned in February 2005, the luxurious True North is one of the finest expedition cruise ships in the world. Six expedition tenders ensure that guests can experience the Kimberley ‘up close’ and in small groups, and to add yet another dimension to your adventure, the True North sails complete with her very own Bell 407 helicopter!

With the ability to carry 6 passengers in air-conditioned comfort, the helicopter provides a unique opportunity to witness the grandeur of the Kimberley and discover your own special Eden, otherwise inaccessible.

The True North accommodates 36 guests in a choice of three cabin styles, each with en suite facilities, in-house entertainment and direct-dial satellite telephones. The Explorer Class Staterooms and the River Class cabins contain king size beds (which may be converted to singles) and large viewing windows. In the Ocean Class cabins, roomy single beds and 2 portholes provide a bright airy feel.

Equipped with state-of-the-art maritime systems, an Internet cafe and large panoramic windows, the True North offers the discerning traveller the ultimate in comfort and style whilst exploring the remote corners of the globe. An opulent observation lounge (furnished with two huge plasma screens) overlooks the bow, providing commanding views of the vessels forward movement.

The unique indoor/outdoor bar is the perfect place for a sunset cocktail and your gourmet chefs prepare fine meals served in a spacious and fully air-conditioned dining lounge. Purpose-built for exploring the rugged Kimberley coastal wilderness, the True North is luxury expedition cruising at its finest.
