The True North allows discerning adventurers to experience wilderness in surroundings more akin to one of the world’s most exclusive hotels!
Your “welcome aboard” the luxurious True North is in the frontier pearling port of Broome. Lying 300 kilometres due west of Broome, the coral atolls of the Rowley Shoals tower vertically in 400 metres of water to create "the world's last great underwater wilderness" - an area of more than 300 square miles with no significant history of exploitation. Uniquely influenced by substantial tidal range, the Shoals support more than 600 species of fish (including several specials of diver friendly mega-fauna such as hump back whales, manta rays, hammerhead sharks and other large reef species) and the exaggerated growth of more than 200 species of coral. This pristine area is protected by marine park status and insulated from global warming by deep oceanic waters.
Multiple expedition boats allow passengers to do “what they want, when the want” and, to add yet another dimension to adventure, the True North is the only Kimberley adventure-cruise ship that sails with it’s own helicopter!
