Vansittart Bay stands apart as a beautifully protected, large bay in Western Australia where a constellation of islands and coves creates intimate inlets for exploration. Its signature experiences begin ashore with an Expedition Team led walk to Jar Island, home to Gwion Gwion rock art galleries, an extraordinary Kimberley treasure often overlooked by early European researchers in favor of Wandjina art, but now celebrated for its ancient narratives and vivid panels. The destination offers intimate island-hopping among sheltered bays, calm coves, and tidal flats rich with birdlife, while the expedition vessels' shallow drafts allow guests to approach remote shorelines that bigger ships cannot access. Fleet features include purpose-built expedition ships with wide-view observation lounges, a fleet of Zodiacs for close-up incursions, and enhanced onboard services like expert-led lectures, outdoor dining under stars, and photography workshops. Onboard you will find a polished blend of comfort and capability, with flexible itineraries, panoramic decks, and an Expedition Team ready to tailor experiences—from short nature walks to immersive cultural visits—ensuring Vansittart Bay delivers the rare mix of pristine Kimberley landscapes, ancient art sites, and up-close exploration that sets it apart from other cruise ports.
