Heritage Expeditions has announced a new nine-day Seabirds & Cetaceans of Australasia with the Heritage Adventurer.
The cruise from Port Vila to Hobart will explore Australian waters in search of pelagic seabirds and cetaceans, according to a press release.
“This trip has been specially designed with birdwatchers, whale and dolphin enthusiasts, cruisers, and adventurers in mind,” said Aaron Russ, commercial director and expedition chief for Heritage Expeditions.
“It offers guests the rare opportunity to explore an extraordinary cross-section of the southwestern Pacific, including the shallow waters near Chesterfield Reefs, the deep waters of the Coral Sea, and the edge of the Southern Ocean“.
“Given that much of our journey will take place in little or never-before-explored waters in search of seabirds and marine mammals, we expect to make some intriguing discoveries, including possible new sightings in Australian waters,” he said.
“This trip offers an incredible opportunity for citizen scientists to significantly expand knowledge of the distribution of many little-known and rarely seen seabird species“.
Departing from Port Vila, the journey will sail out to sea, crossing north of New Caledonia, passing the Chesterfield Reefs, and then into Australian waters and south, far offshore, to Hobart.
