For History Lovers -- Australian Circumnavigation From Darwin

[CruiseCriticAUeditor]

Just got the details for this unique cruise. If you love Australian history, it's a cracker. And on Christmas Day they fly you by private jet to Uluru for dinner under the stars!

 

Here's the story:

Interesting, better not tell Mrs Gut.

[GUT2407]

Doesn’t tell us much about the history focus, I’ll have to search some more.

[MicCanberra]

Wow, the itinerary looks good.

[MicCanberra]

Actually the cruise ship rather small, hard to believe there are cabins for 60 on it.

[MMDown Under]

Sounds absolutely wonderful.  Times like this, it would be nice to be rich!  

[Aus Traveller]

Fares are higher than we want to pay for an Around Australia. Presumably the history focus will be from on-board lecturers.

Can't see it listed on their website as yet and the only news article coming up in google searches for today is The Australian and I have run out of freebie views for the month so I can't read it - darnit !!

[MicCanberra]

Price wise, it is too much for me, but being a small ship that would be expected

I couldn't see it on their website either.  They have some great cruises and obviously have a following from those who can afford those high prices for small ship cruising.

I have friends who do multiple trips with them per year and like me they prefer small ship expedition cruising. I was hoping to find the actual itinerary on their website as I imagine they will be accessing some smaller less run of the mill ports and I wanted to check who the lecturers will be. 

Will check the site again in next few days. Seems odd to send out their media release to The Australian before having anything for potential clients to actually look at.

Looks fabulous.

Hope I win the lottery.

I posted on their Facebook page last night asking for a link to online brochure or whatever. No reply yet.

I received an email this afternoon about this cruise from Coral Expeditions, with an attached flyer.

This would be a cruise of a lifetime for Aussies who can afford it.

Australian Geographic are going to be their Expedition Partners. 

[MicCanberra]

Cool, helps explain the price as well.

[GUT2407]

Saw the itinerary today, nice but $40K for 60 nights,  too rich for my blood

Yep mine was from their mailing list may have been interested at 30 days but 60 would be hard to swing plus it’s Darwin Darwin so would need flights

[MicCanberra]

That puts a dampener on it.
