This is my 1st actual cruise - just done day trips before. So this is written from the perspective of someone who is new to all this. Colour me impressed.

What do you get when you cross the untouched beauty of the outer Great Barrier Reef with an experienced crew whose focus is on making sure you get to see as much of it as possible?

Thank you for leaving such an amazing review and in-depth review! Glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful Great Barrier Reef just as much as we do, and that your trip was such a wonderful...

Cabin Review

Cabin Cabin

Fine if you are by yourself as I was. A bit cozy for 2. Mainly because storage is limited.

Cable locker right behind the bulkhead by your head.

In the bow so maximises movement of the ship - avoid if vulnerable to sea sickness

There is a reason this is the cheapest cabin on the ship, but if these issues are not a problem for you (they were not issues for me) then this cabin is a bargain.
