With over 30 years of excellence and global recognition, this company has come a long way from its modest beginnings. Every year, the TRUE NORTH embarks on an extraordinary journey, circumnavigating Australia and offering exclusive luxury expeditions that also touch upon Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. Built in Fremantle, Western Australia, the ship is owned by Broome-based locals who are deeply committed to supporting their community and local industries.

Guests aboard the TRUE NORTH are treated to unparalleled luxury experiences, with multiple adventure boats allowing for flexibility and the freedom to explore "what they want, when they want." To elevate the adventure further, an on-board helicopter offers breathtaking aerial views of the remote Kimberley region. If you’re seeking the ultimate adventure and a truly exceptional experience, get in touch with the local experts in Broome at Compare Kimberley Cruises.
