ORION EXPEDITION CRUISES IS AUSTRALIA’S
ONLY LUXURY EXPEDITION CRUISE LINE

Orion Expedition Cruises is the leading operator of five-star expedition cruising in the Australasian region. Founded in early 2004, the company has developed voyages to encourage guests to become a part of the region they are discovering. It is a unique product that appeals to both local and international travellers alike: people who seek the mental stimulation of new experiences, places and discovery, whilst enjoying the comfort of luxurious surroundings.

Orion operates the 106-passenger expedition vessel Orion in the Kimberley region of Australia, the Australian Islands, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and the Sub Antarctic, Melanesia, the Spice and Forgotten Islands and Antarctica.

Following the company credo “a path less travelled”, the addition of the 100 passenger Orion II to the fleet in 2011 doubles capacity and allows expeditions to a wider range of rarely visited destinations including the Russian Far East, Borneo, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and the Inland Sea of Japan.
