Stricken by Disease and Pestilence, Wretched Port Abandoned

Despite twelve deaths and the grounding of HMS Pelorus in a ferocious cyclone, Port Essington was rebuilt and continued to struggle against the elements for a further ten years before the inevitable. In 1849, the tragic settlement was abandoned.

Port Essington, or Victoria Settlement, is located on the rugged Coburg Peninsula, part of the Northern Territory's Arnhem Land and all that remains of the ambitious mid-19th Century village is a few stone ruins.

An excursion and exploration of this poignant site is part of North Star Cruises' annual "Over the Top" itinerary, exploring some of the lesser-known, more adventurous destinations our great country has to offer.

Departing Darwin on 18 October, the journey can be experienced as a single 14-night adventure or as a 6-night expedition beginning in either Darwin or Thursday Island. Either way, the cruise culminates in Cairns on November 1.

Other highlights include helicopter flightseeing from the ship's own helicopter (extra cost), Great Barrier Reef snorkeling or scuba diving, great fishing, guided nature hikes and, of course, North Star Cruises' famed cuisine.

Prices for either of the 6-night itineraries start from $8,995 per person, twin share and from $13,995 per person for the full 14-night adventure.

Bookings can be made by contacting North Star Cruises on (+61 8) 91921 829 or by email to reservations@northstarcruises.com.au. Website: www.northstarcruises.com.au

Join Ken Duncan for an Orion Antarctic photographic odyssey

Join Ken Duncan, world renowned photographer, onboard the luxury expedition ship Orion for an unforgettable voyage to Antarctica this December.

Ken Duncan, widely regarded as Australia's premier panoramic landscape photographer, will be joining Orion's specialist Antarctic Expedition Team for a 16 night Antarctic Continent expedition to Commonwealth Bay, home to the site of the historic Mawson's huts built for his 1911 Antarctic expedition.

Although panoramas are his signature style, Ken Duncan is also an expert in using a multitude of different formats and media and he will be sharing his expertise with Orion's guests to help them make the most of capturing the myriad of photo opportunities afforded on this Antarctic voyage.

With convenient embarkation in Bluff, New Zealand, Orion will head south with her 100 passengers (and 75 crew) to visit remote sub-Antarctic Snares and Auckland islands en-route to World Heritage listed Macquarie Island, with its vast breeding grounds of penguins and seals. The remnants of the old whaling station provide a dramatic photographic contrast to the wildlife in this remote sanctuary.

Orion is scheduled to cross the Antarctic Circle and head further south to Cape Denison located at 67 degrees south. Time ashore, weather permitting, will provide guests with a rare chance to visit Mawson's huts and have a look inside this icy time-capsule, left as-is after Mawson's departure.

New found photographic skills promise great opportunities to record the extensive wild life, huts, and historic debris and artifacts still to be found here.

Ken Duncan has produced numerous books and received many awards for his work. He has been published by National Geographic and Time magazines and he has undertaken assignments for The Passion of The Christ and World Vision.

Popular Whale Watching Cruise Back in 2008

With whale watching cruises more popular than ever, Captain Cook Cruises is again operating its daily Whale Watching cruises throughout the Whale Watching season of May 27th to November 15th, 2008.

The Whale Watching cruise takes passengers past the Sydney Opera House, Fort Denison and all the beautiful homes located in the bays of Sydney Harbour and then out through the heads and onto the open waters. Here the direction of the vessel is totally dependent on where the whales have been sighted – north towards Manly or south towards Coogee. Most whales are found within 2kms of shore.

The number of Humpback and Southern Wright whales passing through Sydney on the annual northern migration between Antarctica and their winter feeding grounds as far north the Great Barrier Reef, is expected to reach its traditional peak around the Winter Solstice on June 22nd.

After calving in the northern waters between August and September, the whales will then again head south through Sydney, making their long journey back to Antarctica.

All Whale Watching cruises are held on a 75-passenger, 16 metre super sea-catamaran purpose built for Whale Watching and featuring two decks both offering spectacular open air viewing and a comfortable all-weather lounge for the entire family.

Captain Cook Cruises offers a whale guarantee - if a whale is not sighted in the months of May to November 2008 passengers can rebook another cruise free of charge or for those cruising in June and July they also have the choice to receive 50% of their money back.

Whale Watching cruises depart daily from Circular Quay at 1.30pm and twice daily from Darling Harbour at 9.00am and 1.15pm from May 27th to November 15th, 2008.

Whale Watching Cruises are priced at: adults $69, concession $59, child (4-14yrs) $39, family (2ad+2ch) $179 and additional child same family $30.

For further information and bookings, please contact Captain Cook Cruises on Tel: 02 9206-1111 or visit www.captaincook.com.au.

CORAL PRINCESS CRUISES TO A NEW ZEALAND FEW EVER SEE

Coral Princess's luxury expedition-style ship, Oceanic Discoverer, is small enough to venture into the farthest reaches of New Zealand's Milford, Dusky and Doubtful Sounds, but stable and large enough to reach wild Stewart Island. The combination of compact luxury and manoeuvrable stability enables Oceanic Discoverer to go where no other cruise ship can.
Coral Princess Cruises has released its 2008/09 New Zealand Adventure cruises brochure, featuring a five-night Bay of Islands cruise and a 12-night New Zealand Discovery cruise.
The five-night Bay of Islands cruise departs from either Auckland or Paihia, exploring the hidden coves and spectacular coastline of the far north-eastern tip of the North Island.
Cruising in the Bay of Islands reveals natural attractions such as the renowned 'Hole in the Rock' – a rock 'tunnel' etched by wind and waves - and the Roberton Island lookout, which affords views over the 144 sub-tropical islands in the bay. Passengers can also disembark for guided walks in nature reserves like Tiri Tiri Matangi, to spot some of New Zealand's rare native birds and learn about the history of the region from Coral Princess's guest lecturers and expert guides.
There are nine departures of the Bay of Islands cruise between December 24, 2008 and February 5, 2009. It costs from $2990 per person, twin share, in a Main Deck B stateroom.
Departing from World Heritage Milford Sound and travelling to Auckland, or vice versa, the 12-night Milford Sound cruise explores the remote reaches of Milford and Doubtful Sound – described as New Zealand's most spectacular waterway - but also ventures into rarely-visited Dusky Sound. Stewart Island is renowned for its unusual birdlife, including kiwis and penguins, and marks the southernmost point on the voyage. Heading north along the east coast, the ship stops at secluded Akaroa Harbour, where it's possible to swim with dolphins, while Kaikoura is known as the best destination for whale watching.
The Tory Channel marks the entrance to the beautiful blue-green waters of Marlborough Sound, where Oceanic Discoverer's guides interpret the history and natural attractions on guided walks. The trip also takes in Art Deco Napier, historic Gisborne, the active volcano on White Island and there's time to explore the beaches and caves of the remote Mercury Islands, before ending the trip in Auckland.
The Milford Sound voyage departs on February 16 and 28, 2009 and costs $7190 per person, twin share in a Main Deck B stateroom. Prices include all meals, accommodation, excursions, transfers and port taxes.
The Oceanic Discoverer accommodates a maximum of just 72 guests, as well as a purpose-built excursion vessel, Xplorer, and a fleet of inflatable Zodiacs to allow passengers to intimately explore the secluded bays and inlets. Coral Princess's adventure style of cruising means the itinerary may vary to take advantage of opportunities to view wildlife, swim, or visit local attractions.
Coral Princess is a family-owned, eco-accredited and award-winning company that pioneered adventure cruising 25 years ago on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. For further information, call 1800 079 545 or visit www.coralprincess.com.au.

The ship is well supplied with emergency kits and medical equipment. Pandaw II is being operated by Save the Children in association with the Rangoon Pun Hlaing Hospital. A team of over 20 Burmese doctors and paramedics are on board. She will operate south of Bassein.

I am very excited about the opportunity this partnership presents and look forward to working with KSL to take Orion Expedition Cruises to the next level.”

Designed specifically for navigating waters in some of the world's most remote destinations, including both the earth's polar regions, the Prince Albert II boasts a strengthened hull, with the highest Lloyd's register ice-class notation (1A) for passenger ships.

All this attention to detail, plus an all inclusive Silversea cruising experience. Cruise only fares start from US$7335* per person, double occupancy with Silver Savings of 25 percent.

Each luxuriously appointed suite has ocean views and offers the largest average size accommodation of any expedition ship. Some suites even have private verandas or French balconies. The marble bathrooms feature full baths and in the gourmet restaurants, the menus are designed by Relais and Chateaux with complimentary wines, champagnes and spirits served throughout the ship. With a staff to guest ratio of 1:1 the service standards will be outstanding. Expert naturalists and special guest lecturers will enhance the sailing.

Space is limited on this Christmas New Year Prince Albert II Antarctic voyage.
