As APT looks ahead to 2019, it turns to new frontiers of Australian small ship cruising. The leader in luxury cruising experiences is proud to unveil a new destination, the Arnhem Land coast, to perfectly compliment their ever-popular Kimberley coastal cruise and touring program.
There is something special about the Kimberley and Arnhem Land coastlines. Their vastness and isolation are part of the appeal, and with more than 40 years’ experience in the region, you can navigate these special places in complete comfort with APT.
Arnhem Land is one of the Top End’s most prized destinations. With APT in 2019, embark on a stunning cruise that takes you to remote coastlines and peaceful islands teeming with sublime beauty, and interact with Indigenous communities who are proud to share with you their ancient art, culture and heritage. Located in one of the most remote corners of Australia, the pristine landscapes of Arnhem Land and the Tiwi Islands remain virtually untouched by the outside world.
Here, an ancient Indigenous culture thrives courtesy of its charming remote community spirit. From tropical rainforests, ochre cliffs and dense jungle, Arnhem Land and the Tiwi Islands remain some of Australia’s most undiscovered wilderness areas. Unpack once and explore Arnhem Land’s remote coast, guided by the world’s leading expedition cruising professionals.
With epic cascades, fascinating reefs and gorges carved by powerful rivers, the Kimberley Coast is simply spectacular. From the sublime Horizontal Falls, to ancient Indigenous rock art, gain a front-row seat to the region’s most amazing sights. Be guided by your Expedition Leader and Team as you explore the phenomenal Montgomery Reef and admire vibrant marine life during an incredible cruising experience.
For the ultimate Arnhem Land Coast or Kimberley Coast experience, it’s hard to go past the MS Caledonian Sky. Carrying a maximum of 110 guests with an Expedition Team of 10 members, the MS Caledonian Sky offers the most in-depth discovery on a true expedition ship, with the perfect blend of sightseeing and lifestyle cruising. You can rely upon an all-inclusive cruise experience. Delicious meals are included on board, accompanied by wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee are served at your discretion.
APT in partnership with Noble Caledonia own and operate the MS Caledonian Sky and MS Island Sky expedition ships. In 2019, APT will be operating both ships on the Kimberley Coast, while the MS Caledonian Sky will be cruising the Arnhem Land coast. You will be able to venture where larger ships cannot while enjoying elegant surrounds and a more intimate atmosphere than larger ocean cruising vessels.
