Coral Expeditions is wrapping up its 2024 Kimberley season, marking its 40th anniversary and 35 years of cruising the Kimberley coast, according to a company statement.
This season saw a 42-voyage program and early departures to capture the waterfall season. Coral Expeditions achieved its highest satisfaction scores, carried over 3,500 passengers and received several industry recognitions, the company said.
“We would like to express our gratitude and thanks to all of our guests, travel agent partners and destination communities for their ongoing support in the Kimberley this year,” said Jeff Gillies, chief commercial officer. “The Kimberley remains the beating heart of our operations and our crew go above and beyond to exceed the expectations of every guest we welcome onboard. It is wonderful to see the support continue to grow for our unique style of Australian adventure.”
Looking ahead to 2025, the company added that it is experiencing record bookings, driven by strong domestic demand and a resurgence of international travelers, with 46 departures planned from March to October.
