ORION EXPEDITION CRUISES BACKGROUND

Launched in 2004, the Australian owned Orion Expedition Cruises have developed voyages that encourage guests to become part of the region that they are exploring. 

Welcoming just 106 guests per voyage, Orion’s intimate style is more of a mega-yacht rather than a cruise ship, with seventy-five dedicated crew looking after your every whim. Although the Orion was custom-made for expedition cruising and accessing places usually inaccessible, it is the epitome of elegance and offers only the highest calibre of onboard recreational facilities.

Orion Expedition Cruises provide the discerning traveller with a unique and exclusive opportunity to experience the less-chartered terrains of the South Pacific in pure luxury. In their own words, Orion cruises “were designed to access the inaccessible”, whilst boasting the best in design, technology, comfort and elegance.
