From time to time, Coral Expedition ships undertake sea crossings, as they are repositioned for new seasons and destinations. With peaceful, uneventful days at sea, accompanied by our high level of service and fabulous chef-prepared cuisine, a free-steam is a great way to experience an ocean voyage. If you love life at sea, admire 360 horizon views, and enjoy the warm hospitality of our crew, then join us on board for the first of our Open Passage Series, Wellington to Sydney.

Coral Discoverer

Coral Discoverer

Coral Discoverer

The Coral Discoverer is an expedition style cruise ship large enough to provide all the comforts of a larger cruise ship, yet small enough to enable access reef and island sites inaccessible to other vessels.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
