Pearl Expeditions offers expedition cruising to some of the world's most remote and culturally rich maritime destinations, from the ancient Kimberley coastline of north-west Australia to the archipelagos of Raja Ampat, Borneo, Papua New Guinea, and East Indonesia.
Aboard the m/y Paspaley Pearl, purpose-built for these waters and carrying just 30 guests, travellers gain rare passage to regions beyond the reach of larger vessels. As part of the Paspaley Group, Pearl Expeditions reflects a longstanding connection to maritime exploration and the waters of the region, shaping itineraries rich with local knowledge, reverence for nature and genuine connection to place.

REDEFINING LUXURY
Expedition Travel
Expedition cruising occupies a distinct place within luxury travel, defined not by spectacle, but by access. Pearl Expeditions crafts each itinerary around tide, season, and the character of each destination. Purpose-built for Kimberley waters, the m/y Paspaley Pearl navigates channels and anchorages inaccessible to larger ships, placing guests in direct contact with landscapes that remain, beyond the reach of most organised travel.
On expedition voyages, the environment sets the schedule. Guests access land by Zodiac, while itineraries allow for the unexpected, remaining flexible to shifts in conditions, wildlife encounters and extended adventures for deeper exploration
Our Home
The Kimberley
Australian itineraries draw directly from Paspaley's near century of operating in these regions. Guests visit active pearling operations at sea and explore Kuri Bay - home to the world's first Australian South Sea pearl farm, still producing today - and fly the coastline aboard our amphibious Grumman Mallards, the only commercial flying boats in the world. At the table, Paspaley pearl meat and wines from Bunnamagoo Estate complete an adventure only Paspaley can provide.
