If you’re considering a cruise through the Kimberley, there’s one key decision that will shape your entire experience—choosing the right vessel. Do you want to be one of hundreds, jostling for a prime spot on the viewing deck? Or do you prefer something more personal, where the crew knows your name, your drink of choice, and the kind of adventure you’re after?
We’ve spent years exploring this incredible region, and if there’s one thing we know, it’s that a small, luxury expedition is the only way to truly immerse yourself in the Kimberley.
Fewer Guests, More Connection
One of the first things you notice when you step aboard Ocean Dream is the space. Not just physical space, but a sense of ease, like you’ve been welcomed into someone’s private retreat. With only a handful of fellow (Ocean Dream accommodates 12 guests only), you can take your time, whether it’s enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, watching the cliffs glow gold in the evening light, or simply sitting back and soaking in the quiet.
And if you’re the kind of traveller who loves meeting like-minded people, you’ll appreciate the camaraderie that naturally forms on a small boat. By the end of the trip, you’re not just fellow passengers—you’re friends.
A Cruise That Feels Like It Was Made for You
Unlike larger ships that run on strict schedules, small expedition cruises are flexible. If we hear that the fishing is particularly good in a secluded creek, we might linger a little longer. If the tides are right, we’ll take the tenders out to explore hidden rock pools. You’re not just along for the ride—you’re part of the experience, shaping each day as it unfolds.
And for those who prefer an entirely private escape, chartering the vessel means the itinerary is entirely up to you. Want to spend more time fishing? Done. Prefer to linger at a stunning waterfall? No problem. It’s your journey, your way.
Five-Star Comfort in the Wild
Now, I know some people worry about comfort when they hear the words “expedition cruise.” Let me put that concern to rest. Ocean Dream is as luxurious as it gets. Spacious cabins, plush bedding, elegant lounges—every detail is designed for relaxation. And when you’re watching the Kimberley’s dramatic landscapes from a beautifully appointed deck, cocktail in hand, you realise: this is how the Kimberley was meant to be seen.
Up-Close Adventures at Your Own Pace
The beauty of a small cruise is that we can take you places the big ships simply can’t. With three tenders at our disposal, we get right up close to cascading waterfalls, secret swimming holes, and ancient Indigenous rock art. And because we keep our groups small, there’s no waiting in line for excursions—just step into a tender and go. No queues, no crowds.
For those who love fishing, the Kimberley’s rivers and estuaries are legendary. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of landing a barramundi, knowing it’ll be served up as part of a gourmet seafood feast that night.
A Crew That Feels Like Family
Ask any past guest what stood out the most about their Ocean Dream cruise, and I guarantee they’ll mention the crew. These are people who don’t just do their jobs—they live and breathe the Kimberley. They know the stories behind the landscapes, the best fishing spots, the unique wildlife, and the quiet little coves where you can take a swim without another soul in sight.
And our chef? A magician in the galley. Every meal is an event in itself. Whether it’s just-caught seafood grilled to perfection, or a long-table dinner under the stars.
An Experience You’ll Never Forget
A Kimberley cruise isn’t just a holiday—it’s an experience that stays with you. It’s the quiet moments on deck, the thrill of discovering a hidden waterfall, the laughter shared over a meal. It’s adventure and luxury, seamlessly combined.
So, if you’re looking for something truly special, something that goes beyond the ordinary, consider a small, luxury expedition cruise. It’s the Kimberley as it should be—personal, immersive, and unforgettable.
