Ultra-luxury, book-by-the-cabin superyacht cruises around Australia
- Written by Andrew Mevissen
Luxury superyacht cruises are considered out of reach for most people due to the high cost of a private charter but this ultra-luxe experience in idyllic locations such as the Great Barrier Reef, Gold Coast and Kimberley can now be booked by the cabin and on an all-inclusive basis, cutting the cost dramatically.
Exempt from Covid ship restrictions affecting larger vessels, the bucket-list superyacht voyages from YOTSPACE are available through Australia’s leading small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller. While those looking to check out the Airlie beach region can jump aboard a Whitsundays bareboat charter with Wings to see all of the attractions on a preorganised cruise. Thirteen sailings from two to 10 nights available aboard four superyachts in six beautiful regions around Australia from September, 2021, to September, 2022.
Boasting exclusivity, intimacy, privacy, bespoke itineraries and celebrity-like status, the indulgent, no-shoes-allowed Kimberley Cruises accommodate a maximum of 10 guests and offer deluxe cabins with ensuites, luxury lounges, deck-top jacuzzis and included gourmet chef-made meals and open bar drinks all day.
To mark the first time Cruise Traveller has offered superyacht voyages in Australia, the small ship specialist has two exclusive offers that include free yacht transfers for bookings made by July 31, 2021.
