Adventurers are invited to join this rare and immersive conservation expedition aboard True North II this November, in collaboration with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. The popular and exclusive eight-night journey by True North Adventure Cruises has limited cabins available to book and offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef, beyond the usual snorkelling or diving experience.

Guests will embark from Cairns on November 21, delving deep into the reef’s rich biodiversity and cultural history. Accompanied by experienced conservationists, participants will engage in scientific exploration, track green sea turtles, tag whale sharks, and search for the elusive Omura whale, all while uncovering the critical work being done to secure the reef’s future.

True North II offers an intimate and luxurious experience for just 22 guests, featuring a combined saloon and lounge, a stunning dining salon with a boardroom-style setting, and the renowned True North dining experience. The vessel also boasts a sundeck, outdoor bar deck, and a dedicated sports deck for relaxation and recreation. Each cabin is equipped with ensuite or private facilities, in-house entertainment, and satellite telephones, with accommodations ranging from queen-size beds in the Explorer and River Class staterooms to spacious bunk-configured singles in the Ocean Class cabins.

Purpose-built for exploring coastal areas and shallow river systems, True North II allows guests to step directly from their cabins into the wilderness. With multiple adventure boats and an onboard helicopter featured on most itineraries, guests enjoy unparalleled freedom and flexibility to embark on personalised adventures, creating unforgettable memories.

With very limited availability, this conservation expedition is a unique opportunity to witness the vastness and beauty of the reef first hand. Secure your place on this extraordinary voyage.

The Great Barrier Reef Conservation Expedition departs for seven nights from Cairns on the 21st November returning the 28th November. All-inclusive packages aboard True North II start from $15,495 per cabin for two people.
