Accommodation

During this premium adventure cruise, you spend 14 nights on the Coral Geographer. Coral Geographer Launched in March 2021, Coral Expeditions are proud to introduce their newest ship – Coral Geographer. A sister ship to Coral Adventurer, the Coral Geographer remains true to the nature of authentic expeditions. When designing their next generation of ships, Coral Expeditions stubbornly resisted the idea of large and glitzy so they can remain small enough to go to untouched places, focusing on bringing small numbers of like-minded guests closer to nature and cultures with personal attention and professional Australian service. The shallow draught and manoeuvrability of the ship allow it to go where larger vessels cannot. The 99-passenger ship features the same state-of-the-art specifications and expedition features as Coral Adventurer; however, due to popular demand, it has an increased number of six Bridge Deck Suites with horizon bathtubs. Bridge Deck Balcony Suites There are six spacious and elegant suites on the Coral Geographer They are equipped with a lounge area, minibar and personal coffee machine They have special junior king-size beds A 38sqft (3.5sqm) private balcony has an outdoor daybed and lounge chair for two The unique outside-facing bathroom with floor-to-ceiling windows is the feature of the suites, with an infinity bathtub with sky views The complimentary minibar is replenished daily Bridge Deck Balcony Suites are 404sqft (37.5sqm) Explorer Deck Balcony Staterooms Explorer Deck Staterooms are comfortably furnished with a junior king-size bed, which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact ensuite has a toilet, shower and ample storage Your private balcony has seating for two from which to view the passing coastal vistas These staterooms are on the Explorer deck Explorer Deck Balcony Staterooms are 230sqft (21.4sqm) Promenade Deck Staterooms Promenade Deck Staterooms are below the Explorer Deck and furnished with a junior king-size bed, which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact private bathroom has a toilet, shower and ample storage A large picture window gives you wide views of the world outside Promenade Deck Staterooms are 183sqft (17sqm) Coral Deck Staterooms Coral Deck Staterooms are below the Promenade Deck and are identically furnished with a junior king-size bed, which can be separated into two singles A wardrobe, desk and armchair are included The compact private bathroom has a toilet, shower and ample storage A porthole window gives you views of the world outside Coral Deck Staterooms are 183sqft (17sqm) Specific cabin types can be booked for sole use (subject to availability). Passengers who are paying for sole use will have a choice of a twin or junior king bed. Please enquire with your sales representative for further details. Share policy on the ship is based on twin-share occupancy. If guests are travelling alone and wish to share accommodation, a roommate will be assigned to your cabin whenever possible. When pairing roommates, we always pair participants of the same sex. Please note, in the event of a share partner not being found, you will be charged the full room rate (double the twin-share fare).
