Demand grows for domestic expedition cruising
Coral Expeditions Chief Commercial Officer Jeff Gillies said the campaign reflects growing interest in immersive small-ship exploration closer to home.
“The end of the financial year is an ideal time for travellers to plan ahead and lock in wish-list journeys along our home shores,” Gillies said.
“Australia’s coastal shores offer a lifetime of discovery, often closer than we think. We’re opening the door wider this year with more local deployment making it easier for more Australians to discover and experience the richness of expedition travel at home.”
Gillies said the company’s focus remains on delivering meaningful exploration experiences in remote destinations through its purpose-built fleet of small expedition ships.
