‘Some lines are catered to the intrepid adventurer and others to travelers seeking the utmost in luxury,’ according to the brochure.
‘Some offer butler service and all cruises have a high crew-to-guest ratio, providing the upmost in personalized service.
’Everything is covered, from the best time to visit (in the dry season between April and October), to shore excursions to ancient Aboriginal rock paintings and sunset camel rides on Cable Beach. There are pre- and-post cruise travel tips, including a range of accommodation and tours to the expansive El Questro National Park and the Bungle Bungle Range located within World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park.
‘The Kimberley Expedition Cruising collective introduces expedition cruise travel in the extraordinary Kimberley region, one of the world’s last true wilderness areas,’ Nerlich said.
