Coral Princess Cruises - The Kimberley

The region known simply as The Kimberley takes its evocative name from its most imposing landmark; an ancient mountain range visible from the rugged seas coast.

Covering more than 400,000 square kilometres (an area 3 times larger than England) in North West Australia, it is a place universally acknowledged as the world’s last – and possible most beautiful wilderness.

Discover Broome, the still exotic capital of The Kimberley that was once the pearling capital of the world and is clawing back its claim by once again delivering the bounty of the seas to visitors from around the globe.

Discover the heartland of Australia’s northernmost unspoilt outback. The Kimberley is a completely unique experience.
