4-night East Coast Expedition
Highlights
- Explore the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur site, uncovering Tasmania's convict history with expert guides at your side.
- Savour exquisite Tasmanian cuisine prepared by top chefs, perfectly paired with fine local wines for a true culinary delight.
- Drift past the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere, immersing yourself in breathtaking coastal vistas and natural beauty.

Link the leading lights of the east coast – from the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur convict site to the turquoise waters of Wineglass Bay – on this intimate 4-night expedition.
Expeditions are based from a ‘floating boutique hotel’, the Odalisque. Guests are entertained by an all-star crew, including a skipper, host, chef & guide. Our specialist chefs (borrowed from Hobart’s top restaurants) provide top-notch Tasmanian fare, all paired with fine Tasmanian wine.
Our hand-picked expert guides (with years of experience in the area) will double as your personal walking encyclopaedias. Daily shore excursions, tailored to your interests, will see you totally immersed in all the east coast has to offer. It’s all about “getting your feet wet” (as skipper & owner Pieter van der Woude regularly says).
During your unforgettable time with us, experience the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere, cruise past magnificent mountains and call into secluded beaches as we explore national parks, historic sites and peninsulas.
The cruise experience is offered either from Hobart – Coles Bay or Coles Bay – Hobart, with land transfers included at either end of the cruise as required.
