Top Ten Immersive Travel Experiences Across the Globe

Sep 10, 2024

Onboard Expeditions has been named one of the ten winners in the Immersive Category in the Sydney Morning Herald’s inaugural Traveller Awards 2024. Known for its exclusive expedition cruises, Onboard offers guests a chance to explore Tasmania’s remote, World Heritage-listed wilderness aboard the Odalisque III, a state-of-the-art expedition catamaran.

With bespoke itineraries tailored to guest preferences, each journey includes daily walks and adventure boat excursions led by expert local guides who are well-versed in ecology and environmental conservation. In the remote Southwest Tasmania, guests experience the serene waters of Bathurst Harbour, ancient rainforests, and untouched beaches along the Southern Ocean, all while learning about Tasmania’s rich Aboriginal heritage and observing rare wildlife in their natural habitat.

“These hand-picked experiences go beyond the typical leisure holiday and aim to forge a deeper connection with that destination.”

“There are many parts to this experience – the luxury catamaran that takes just 12 guests, the talented Tasmanian chef and the sublime food, even the seaplane flight that delivers guests from Hobart to Port Davey in the Tasmanian wilderness.”

In its inaugural year, the Sydney Morning Herald Traveller Awards celebrate 120 places, people, and experiences that have captured the hearts and imaginations of seasoned writers and editors, drawing from a year of globetrotting. They have carefully selected their favourites across 12 distinct categories, recognising excellence in everything from innovation to changemaking and style leadership. Within these selections, you’ll discover immersive experiences, affordable getaways, cutting-edge wellness retreats, and the most exhilarating adventures.
