Australia's luxury expedition cruise ship the MV Orion is a purpose built, state-of-the-art vessel designed to access the inaccessible, all in 5-star luxury with 76 experienced crew and just over 100 passengers! The ship combines the best and the latest in design with maritime and environmental technology-comfort and casual elegance. From the ice-strengthened hull to the chilled champagne and superb cuisine, this is expedition cruising at its finest. Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising rates it as the latest in the worldwide quest to build the perfect expedition vessel. We regard it as the absolute best in its class, as do the 80% approximately of Orion's passengers who are repeat guests after just a few years sailing in our waters!

The Orion embarks on an annual circuit of Australia's southern-eastern and northern waters exploring some of the most wonderful but rarely seen places on earth-making small but key changes every year to itineraries to ensure their uniqueness. Everything about this ship - its crew and destinations - are exceptional, which is why the Orion is also our favourite, worldwide.

Here are some of the reasons why... All 50 suites and staterooms are exterior and feature a sitting area or living room with a TV, DVD/CD player, Internet access, mini-refrigerator, safe deposit box, luxury private bathroom, ample closet space and twin beds that can be converted to a queen-size bed. A spacious observation lounge on the top deck opens onto a full wrap-around deck for optimal viewing. A mud room on the lower deck stores equipment used during a day of exploration. And a fleet of ten heavy-duty Zodiac inflatable motorized boats make it possible to land in shallow areas and navigate small rivers and waterways. We would be delighted to help you have that priceless experience of a lifetime - on a journey we know you will never forget.
