Dining:

In contrast to the wilds of Antarctica or rugged adventures in the Kimberley, Orion Expedition Cruises’ onboard cuisine is distinctly civilised. Desiring more than “cruise ship fare”, Orion initiated a partnership with Serge Dansereau of Sydney’s ‘The Bathers’ Pavilion’ to create a gourmet dining experience to rival the best boutique restaurants in the world. The focus across the fleet, as with ‘Bathers’ is on quality produce, locally sourced from the regions visited. Each dish has been designed to complement other alternatives allowing guests to sample from each menu at whim.

Orion’s adventurous spirit is also reflected in the selection of Australian, New Zealand and European wines: vintages from exceptional lesser-known wineries complement a range of familiar labels.

Dining at any time is an unhurried experience with a single sitting free of fixed table assignments. Dinner is always served in the Constellation Restaurant or guests can dine al fresco under the stars.

During the day if the scenery is too spectacular to simply let pass by, guests take a seat for a buffet breakfast or lunch at our Outdoor Café.

Other Facilities:

Other onboard facilities include a health spa with gymnasium, beauty salon, sauna, sun deck Jacuzzi, a stern marina platform, library with internet access, two lounges with audio-visual equipment, boutique and swimming platform.

Final Word:

Since its launch in 2004, Orion Expedition Cruises has become the leading expedition cruise operator in Asia Pacific. The introduction of Orion II in May 2011 doubles capacity and doubles the opportunity to introduce guests to new, and in many cases, unique experiences in amazing destinations. All the while enjoying the comfort and safety of the 100-guest ships and five-star onboard service. To explore “a path less travelled” requires a gentle step. To work with the challenges and opportunities these environments offer is the starting point of every Orion Expedition Cruises’ journey.
