The first True North post coronavirus cruise departed Broome on July 4 – with a boatload of very excited West Aussies.Australia’s premier adventure-yacht,True North is purpose-built to sail deep into the heart of the wilderness visiting areas that larger ships cannot access. The company has announced an amended sailing schedule for the entire second half of 2020 featuring the brand’s longstanding association with small group and nature-based adventure in mostly remote locations. To celebrate the resumption of services, pricing is up to 25% less than last year. Founding director Craig Howson explained: “It’s likely that some of our initial departures will continue to be impacted by the border closure, but we are hoping that guests from interstate will be able to join us soon. Our amended schedule includes itineraries that are sure to attract the attention of discerning adventurers from all around the country. It’s still the perfect time of the year to be in the Kimberley – so we are kicking things off with some old favourites – the Kimberley Snapshot and our flagship Kimberley Ultimate. Last year’s smash hit Coast & Coral returns in late August and then we’re off to another long-time destination – the bucket list Rowley Shoals. In late October, True North also plans to re-introduce the 13-night Over the Top from Darwin to Cairns. The amended 2020 schedule also includes a selection of new itineraries. The 7 night Kimberley Northern Atolls features both the Rowley Shoals and, rarely visited Scott Reef, and two maiden voyages on the Great Barrier Reef will provide opportunity for guests onboard to experience destinations not normally visited by larger ships, including the Gold Coast and Fraser Island. Then it’s down the coast to Sydney for the True North’s well-known Christmas and New Year itineraries which feature the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race and, the Harbour Bridge fireworks on New Year’s Eve.
