Orion Cruises, QUEENSLAND
Airing Date: Mar 17th, 2007
Whilst many Australians travel internationally to experience the culture, colour and beauty of far away islands, few realise this can be found in our own
Queensland backyard.
Orion Expedition Cruises offer a range of luxury cruises, and their voyage to the
Islands of the Torres Strait is an unforgettable experience.
The Torres Strait Islands are a group of more than 120 islands which lie in the waterway separating
Australia's Cape York Peninsula and the island of
New Guinea.
Intriguingly isolated, with only 17 inhabited islands and 20 local communities, the Torres Strait islands were once the pre-history cross roads of migration to what is now Australia.
On this Orion Expedition Cruise passengers can immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the fascinating and beautiful
North Queensland and Torres Strait islands, snorkelling on the
Great Barrier Reef, exploring
Thursday Island with
Peddells' Island Tours, observing unique aboriginal artworks on
Stanley Island, & exploring the history and character of island communities. It's a chance to discover the secrets and beauty of the islander people. .............all, whilst cruising in 5 star luxury!
The Orion 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 are nothing short of five-star.
