North Star Cruises Australia - Short Promotional Video
Video copyright Northstar Cruises Australia.
A short promotional video featuring footage of True North visiting adventure destinations such as the Kimberley Coast, Papua New Guinea and the Rowley Shoals.
Overview
North Star Cruises Australia offers adventure-cruises all around the Australian coastline and, in the stunning waters of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Your taste for adventure and our carefully crafted sailing schedule will ensure every destination is at its stunning best! Regardless of whether you are witnessing breathtaking majesty in the Kimberley, being humbled by the overwhelming hospitality of the South Pacific or, kicking up your heels in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, you will be in the right place at the right time!
The True North is purpose built to sail deep into the very heart of wilderness – we visit areas that larger ships simply cannot access. Our itineraries specifically exclude lengthy periods at sea and feature frequent daily excursions and, an Australian crew that will uniquely chaperone your holiday experience. We deploy comfortable expedition boats (not rubber boats) and discover wilderness in small groups. And to add yet another dimension to adventure, most cruise options feature an onboard helicopter. Beware of imitations and discover for yourself why our eminently qualify guests consistently remark "that's the best holiday I have ever had!"

The ship's naturalist presents interpretative information on plasma screens and, an internet café enables convenient communication with the outside world.
A popular venue on any North Star cruise, the lower deck dining room offers the ultimate in comfort and uninterrupted vistas - large panoramic windows ensure that guests never miss any of the action, even when they are enjoying the 'finest in fine dining'. All cabins feature stylish décor, en-suite facilities, in-cabin entertainment and satellite telephones. The Explorer and River Class staterooms offer king size beds that can be converted to singles whilst the Ocean Class twins feature roomy singles.
The luxury of numerous tenders also means that different activities can be accommodated simultaneously providing greater opportunity for everybody onboard to do "what they want, when they want!" On the True North you don't have to do what everybody else is doing – you can indicate your preference for a particular activity and, you can also indicate a preferred time of the day to engage in that activity. There are limitations of course, but this individual freedom is something that you may not encounter on other adventure-cruise ships – it is a hallmark of what we do.
Having multiple expedition boats also allows our attentive crew to 'group' guests with similar abilities and interests. If you are thinking about trying your hand at fishing, perhaps for the first time in your life – then you don't have to worry about getting in the way of someone who has fished since they were a child! The cruise director will assign boats for beginners and boats for the more experienced and, our fishing guides will adjust presentation to suit. No one misses out on the True North.
And our expedition boats are not rubber boats – they are fully surveyed vessels able to legally operate independent of the main vessel. They are fast, comfortable and well suited for use in crocodile habitat. And best of all – there is no requirement to constantly wear an uncomfortable life jacket when riding in a True North expedition boat. Adding yet another dimension to adventure, most cruise options on the True North also feature an onboard helicopter!
Carrying guests in air conditioned comfort, the ship's helicopter provides unique opportunity to witness grandeur; unique opportunity to fish billabongs that have never been fished; unique opportunity to discover your very own wilderness! Now it's not uncommon for our guests to embark with some uncertainty about flying in a helicopter – however it's always a different story when the time comes for disembarkation.
"Wow – who would have thought, I have never been in a helicopter before, now I can't get enough. I can't speak highly enough about the whole operation, I felt completely safe and I could not have hoped to have seen all that I saw if we didn't have a helicopter onboard."
A typical reaction from a first-time flyer onboard the True North. The ship's helicopter helps you to climb mountains and volcanoes in air conditioned comfort. Even if you are not as spritely as you once were – the helicopter will deliver you without fuss to even the most inaccessible locations.
See ancient rock art without leaving your seat. Glide over impenetrable jungle and swoop on historic and cultural highlights. Take someone special on a sunrise flight or join the entire guest compliment for an unforgettable heli-picnic. The ship's helicopter – another True North icon!
The crew of the True North are generally young Australians which makes for a truly authentic onboard experience. And our crew are very much part of onboard life - you may even feel as though they are having just as much fun as you are! That's because they are – everyday is an adventure for the crew as well and you will not be able to resist their enthusiasm and passion!
Unlike more conventional cruise experiences – crew members on the True North are encouraged to interact with our guests. They will uniquely chaperone your every experience providing assistance, interpretation and genuine company. They will bait your hook and carry your SCUBA tank but they will also join you for dinner and entertain in the ship's lounge.
And not forgetting that they will also prepare fine meals of distinction, maintain your cabins with a renowned degree of attention and, safely navigate ship, boat and helicopter to each destination. Guests on the True North never fail to recognize the outstanding involvement of the crew - they are what makes a True North cruise one of the world's most unique holidays.
