Spend nine days cruising along Queensland’s iconic stretch of coast aboard the MS Caledonian Sky with APT.

Thanks to the compact nature of your small ship, you can get right up close to the action as your cruise across the Great Barrier Reef all the way up to Cape York. Embark on daily shore excursions thanks to a fleet of Zodiacs, while your expert expedition team are always on hand to share their knowledge about the region.

Picture sun-filled days swimming and snorkelling amid vibrant coral, and leaving footprints on white sand beaches. Your days are filled with memorable moments. Visit remote islands scattered across the reef including Lizard Island, where an array of nature walks are on offer. Stand on mainland Australia’s northernmost point at Cape York and toast the setting sun with a glass of bubbly. History buffs will delight in a visit to Cooktown to see where Captain Cook beached the HMB Endeavour, as well as time on Thursday Island to learn about its role during World War II.
