Excursion Boats And Zodiacs
The "Explorer" is a specially designed aluminium excursion vessel used for the majority of our excursions. This vessel has high horsepower engines and will accommodate all passengers at one time. The "Explorer" will be used for landings and for extensive exploration of rivers and tributaries. For your added convenience and comfort, the "Explorer" is equipped with an awning and toilet.
We also carry two inflatable landing craft (Zodiacs). Designed for expedition work, these large and heavy-duty infla tables are extremely safe. Separate air compartments retain a large reserve of buoyancy even if the boats damaged. The flat bottom design permits these crafts to land directly onto the beaches. Expect nonetheless to wade through shallow water to reach the shore.
Helpful Hints
- Clothing: For our tropical, islands and Kimberley programs, we suggest casual clothing such as shorts and T-shirts during the day as well as a swimming costume, hat and sunglasses. Don’t forget your sunscreen, joggers and reef shoes. For the evenings on board, smart casual attire is suggested. The shop on board carries a large range of souvenir items and personal needs.
- Electricity: All cabins are fitted with 240v power outlets for shavers, hair dryers and other electrical appliances.
- Special Diets and Special Occasions: On booking, advise your agent should you have special dietary needs, or wish to celebrate any special occasion during your cruise.
- Insurance: It is recommended that all passengers purchase appropriate travel insurance upon making their reservation and prior to their departure.
- Valuables: Valuables may be lodged with the Purser for safe keeping.
- Tipping: Other cruise lines automatically add gratuities to your account and service charges onto your bar invoices. On Oceanic Princess, our crew has no other agenda than your delight, and tipping is completely optional.
