On Board Cruise

Journey into the faraway corners of Tasmania. Discover other-worldly terrain and venture into untracked places. Sail coast to coast or focus on the untamed shoreline in the South, peppered with jagged peaks, deserted beaches and thick forests. You’ll experience various ecosystems and Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Area, abrim with endemic nature and preserved culture.

Choose from multi-day expeditions helmed by expert local guides who ensure an unwavering commitment to minimal environmental impact. These tailored itineraries involve guided walks or hikes, river cruising and shore excursions to intimately immerse you in Tasmania’s natural wonders. Yet, you can also delight in awe-inspiring landscapes directly from your accommodation’s view-toting lounging areas and cabins.

Two expedition vessels of quality craftsmanship comprise On Board’s fleet: Odalisque III, the dedicated overnight boutique catamaran, and Odalisque II, a smaller cruiser more suited to private charters. Onboard Odalisque III, pick between Southwest Suites and Coastal Cabins. Both take their cues from the island’s wild palette: respectively, the darker, sullen tones of the rugged South West and the softer, lighter hues from the secluded beaches of the Eastern coastline.

Local heritage echoes throughout these cabins and across the vessel: from the furniture to the artwork, it is all Tasmanian-made. Expect gastronomy to continue this thoughtful ode to the island state. The culinary team is passionate about sourcing regional products; think freshly caught seafood paired with fine Tasmanian wine.
