Orion I

The Orion I has long been the sole ship of Orion Expedition Cruises and as such is a lovingly tended vessel. It's small scale means it's more of large private yacht than a cruise ship, but if you are interested in adventure cruises and like the idea of visiting unspoilt destinations such as Antarctica and the Kimberly Isles then it's the perfect vessel.

The Orion I will be joined by the Orion II in May 2011.
