Orion Cruises is the leading expedition cruise operator in the Asia-Pacific region providing exploration voyages aboard the purpose built cruise ship, Orion. From the sumptuous ocean view accommodation and luxurious facilities to the superb cuisine and relaxed style of attentive service, this is expedition cruising at its finest.
Orion Cruises are designed for travellers who seek the intellectual and physical stimulation of places away from mainstream tourism, while enjoying the company of like-minded adventurous people.
Orion Cruises have experienced biologists, ornithologists, marine biologists, historians and guest lecturers on board who will reveal secrets of the destinations visited, sharing their insight to enhance the experience. Zodiacs transport guests into secluded bays, up serpentine rivers and onto pristine beaches to see crocodiles, visit remote villages, snorkel at untouched tropical reefs or wend their way through fields of icebergs. Shore excursions, headed by the Expedition Team, are an important feature of Orion voyages and all itineraries include a number of excursions at no extra cost.
Orion Cruises purposely built a vessel designed to access the inaccessible, all in consummate luxury and combines the best and the latest in design with comfort and casual elegance. The addition of a second ship, Orion II to the fleet in May 2011 will double the capacity to provide expedition voyages to rarely visited destinations including Australia's Kimberley coast, the Great Barrier Reef, Antarctica, the Russian Far East, Borneo, the Indonesian archipelago, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
