Until Orion commenced cruising in 2004, it was almost inconceivable that you could explore the fascinating but remote Kimberley coastline without your own yacht and a sense of adventure. Similarly, the Torres Strait Islands and Papua New Guinea used to be off-limits to all but the most courageous travellers; now it\u2019s possible to explore these demanding destinations with Champagne in hand and expert commentary on tap. Zodiac excursions, sea-plane flights and outback sightseeing by 4WD offer further opportunities to experience areas off-limits to most Australians. Onboard Orion\u2019s custom-built craft, ocean views and internet access are standard in all suites, as are flat-screen televisions, gym and sauna, and ample staff to cater to the needs of a maximum 100 cruisers. With menus created by Sydney chef Serge Dansereau and five-star facilities at their disposal, Australian explorers never had it so easy. Judges\u2019 comments: &#8220;Orion combines luxury, intimate cruising, top accommodation, superb service and exceptional cuisine with the opportunity to journey to places that are way off the beaten track.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Orion Expedition Cruises (02) 9033 8700 or 1300 361 012, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orioncruises.com.au\/\">www.orioncruises.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GT Travel Awards 2007: Best adventure tourismOrion Expedition Cruises Source: Gourmet Traveller Magazine Orion\u2019s great success in its three years of operation has been to make the inaccessible accessible, and to do so in supreme comfort.
