ORION EXPEDITION CRUISES – INFORMATION

Founded in early 2004 and Australian owned and operated, Orion Expedition Cruises has developed voyages that encourage guests to become a part of the region they are discovering. Orion & Orion II is a purpose-built vessel designed to access the inaccessible, all in 5-star luxury. The ship combines the best and the latest in design with maritime and environmental technology, comfort and casual elegance.

From the ice-strengthened hull to the chilled champagne and superb cuisine, this is expedition cruising at its finest.

Orion’s intimate style is more like a mega-yacht than a cruise ship. Her guests are few – around just 50 couples – all cared for by a crew of 75.

Although custom-made for expedition cruising, she is the epitome of elegance. No expense has been spared when it comes to the quality of fittings and furnishings, and the range and calibre of onboard recreational facilities is nothing short of incredible.

Expedition cruising is different and you will find Orion & Orion II is unlike any other ship you may have sailed in before. Her appointments are luxurious, yet life aboard has a distinctly relaxed, Australian flavour with the international-standard service being warm and unobtrusive. The ambiance is intimate and subtly elegant.

Orion Expedition Cruises provide travellers with the unique and exclusive opportunity to experience the less travelled terrains of the South Pacific region in 5-star luxury. In their own words, Orion cruises are "designed to access the inaccessible", boasting the best in design, maritime and environmental technology, comfort and casual elegance.

The basics Described as the latest in the quest to build the perfect expedition vessel, all Orion’s staterooms feature ocean views and offer Internet access, flatscreen tv, dvd/cd, a choice of twin and queen sized beds, a sitting area and marble bathrooms.

Accommodation onboard Orion comprises 31 suites and 22 staterooms.

THE LUXURY CRUISE COMPANY OPINION

We like

The amazing itineraries and out-ofthe- way ports and bays that Orion plan into its itineraries.

What you should know

This is not a cruise ship in the traditional sense – this is luxurious expedition cruising on a small yacht-like ship.

May we suggest

The Leda Lounge and Cocktail Bar is the hub of social life aboard Orion and Orion II, comfortably seating all guests at once. Tour briefings are held here before dinner and a duo plays for your entertainment later in the evening.

Recommended for

Adventurous couples who seek out-of-the-way itineraries far from the crowds, who enjoy 5-star luxury and like-minded people.
