What To Expect

Explore Australia’s island state poised at the edge of the world, where the Southern, Indian and Pacific Oceans collide. Here pristine World Heritage wilderness and national parks teem with native wildlife.  Tasmania’s natural beauty sees rugged mountain ranges culminate in soaring coastal cliffs and crescent-shaped beaches carved by the elements. Amidst this pristine, natural backdrop Tasmania’s intriguing colonial history is underpinned by compelling convict heritage and historic sites. An island shaped by its climate, fertile pastures and verdant valleys produce a bounty of world-renowned food, wine and artisanal beers and spirits, making a Tasmanian expedition cruise tantalising for all the senses.

The 1800-tonne Coral Discoverer took cruising with Coral Expeditions to a new level. Her shallow draught and manoeuvrability allow her to go where larger vessels cannot. Her tender vessel, Xplorer, can seat all 72 passengers for excursions to beaches and rivers. Coral Discoverer is equipped with latest technology active stabilisers to ensure comfortable cruising in open waters and is fitted with modern safety and navigation equipment and wireless internet facilities.

Following a complete refurbishment in 2016, Coral Discoverer provides an intimate, yacht-like cruising experience. This small ship sports active stabilisers for ocean cruising, over a thousand square metres of open deck space, and well-appointed communal lounge and dining spaces. Enjoy sunset drinks on the Sun Deck to end each spectacular day.
