Coral Princess, Orpheus Island Create the Ultimate Great Barrier Reef Escape

Coral Princess Cruises and Orpheus Island Resort in Australia have created the ultimate cruise and accommodation package for visitors wishing to experience Australia´s Great Barrier Reef in style.

The package combines three nights at the exclusive Orpheus Island Resort with a two night stay on board the Coral Princess cruising the ‘eighth natural wonder of the world´.

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest complex of coral reefs and islands in the world, covering an area greater than Britain or half the size of Texas.

It has more than 2,900 individual reefs and about 900 islands, fringed by white sandy beaches and turquoise water. Most of the islands are uninhabited, and cruising in a small ship is the best way to experience them.

The Coral Princess is an expedition-style cruise ship which carries just 50 guests –large enough to provide all the comfort and facilities of larger cruise ships, yet small enough to provide guests with personal service and individual attention.
