Inside the True North Cabins: Where Luxury Meets the Wild

When you first step aboard True North or True North II, you’re not just joining a cruise; you’re entering a world where comfort, curiosity, and connection all live under one roof. From the deck to the dining room and especially inside your cabin, everything has been designed to give you space to breathe, reflect, and settle into the rhythm of the wild. And while the landscapes outside are unforgettable, the experience within your stateroom often becomes just as memorable.

Because when you’re travelling to the edge of the map, your cruise cabin should offer far more than a bed and a bathroom. It should feel like a sanctuary, somewhere to retreat to, unwind, and feel completely at home, even while completely off the grid.

True North: Boutique comfort with room to breathe

With just 36 guests on board, the True North delivers a refined yet intimate cruising experience, one that never feels crowded or hurried. Every guest has room to explore at their own pace, and every cabin has been thoughtfully appointed to match that same sense of considered luxury.

Explorer Class – Upper deck elegance

Cabin names: Bradshaw, Dampier, Durack, Parker King
Location: Upper deck
Cabin size: Approx. 3m x 4m | Ensuite: 2m x 1.75m

Positioned high on the upper deck, the Explorer Class cabins offer an exceptional sense of space and light. As soon as you walk through the door, you’ll notice the soft natural palette, the original Australian artwork on the walls, and the warm timber tones that immediately ground you. These oceanview cabins are more like boutique hotel suites, with generous proportions, a plush king-size bed that can be configured as twin singles, and a beautifully appointed ensuite featuring twin basins and even panoramic windows of its own.

Three large windows frame the outside world, whether that’s a sandstone gorge bathed in golden afternoon light or the milky blue swirls of Montgomery Reef as it rises from the sea. A writing desk invites you to pause and put pen to paper. A private fridge, flatscreen TV, onboard entertainment system, air conditioning, and satellite phone ensure you have everything you need, whether you’re in the mood to disconnect or stay in touch.

You’ll find plenty of storage for clothing and personal items, allowing you to truly unpack, not just your suitcase, but the sense that you’ve left the everyday behind.

Located on the main deck, River Class cabins offer a seamless connection to the ship’s social spaces while still feeling deeply private and peaceful. These are light-filled staterooms with panoramic windows, king-size beds that can be separated into singles if needed, and ensuite bathrooms that feel like they belong in a luxury lodge.

There’s ample room to move about, relax, and truly settle in. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable, while thoughtful additions like satellite phones and entertainment systems give you full control over how you spend your downtime. The blend of quality, quiet, and connection to the outdoors makes these cabins a favourite for guests who appreciate both space and proximity.

Ocean Premium – A peaceful lower deck retreat

Location: Lower deck
Cabin size: Approx. 3.5m x 3m | Ensuite: 1.5m x 1.75m

Tucked away on the lower deck, the Ocean Premium cabins offer a peaceful, understated retreat that still brims with comfort. The king-size bed (which can be reconfigured as twin singles) is framed by soft lighting and quality furnishings, while the spacious ensuite provides a welcome haven after a day of exploring, fishing, or diving.

Round porthole windows let in soft natural light, reminding you that while you might be below deck, you’re never far from the sea. These cruise cabins are ideal for travellers who value both privacy and practicality, compact enough to be efficient, but spacious enough to feel indulgent.

With twin beds, well-planned storage, and generously sized en-suites, they offer everything you need and nothing you don’t. Large portholes fill the space with daylight, while a flatscreen TV, onboard entertainment system, air conditioning, and satellite phone round out the experience.

Perfect for solo travellers or pairs who plan to spend their days adventuring and their evenings unwinding, these cabins prove that luxury isn’t always about size; it’s about comfort, detail, and design.

True North II: Intimate, immersive, and just as luxurious

What the True North II may offer in a smaller footprint, it more than makes up for with personality, charm, and space that feels deeply personal. With just 22 guests on board, everything is close at hand, yet never feels confined. The cabins on True North II are light-filled, stylish, and surprisingly generous, each one a soft landing after days filled with exploration, connection, and the thrill of discovering something new.

Whether you’re sipping a quiet coffee at sunrise or stretching out after an afternoon snorkel, every stateroom has been designed to make you feel at ease, like the ship itself was built just for you.

Explorer Class – Panoramic perfection

Cabin names: Dirk Hartog, Abel Tasman
Location: Main deck
Cabin size: Approx. 3.4m x 3.4m

Step into one of these beautifully elevated cabins, and it’s the light you notice first. Three oversized panoramic windows draw your gaze outward, to distant cliffs, drifting tides, or sunrise over a still inlet, and suddenly the room feels expansive, almost like an extension of the outside world.

Inside, a plush queen-size bed is tucked beneath elegant linen, and the furnishings strike a refined balance between modern comfort and warm, homely design. A generous ensuite bathroom features twin basins and plenty of space to move around, while a writing desk offers perfect little corners to read, reflect, or simply slow down. There’s air conditioning to keep you cool, a flatscreen TV and onboard entertainment system if you feel like unwinding with a film, and smart storage throughout. It’s a suite that invites you to unpack both your suitcase and your thoughts.

River Premium – Sunlit simplicity

Cabin names: Pentecost, Ord
Location: Main deck
Cabin size: Approx. 3.1m x 2.1m

Each River Premium cabin features a comfortable queen-size bed, soft textures and natural tones, a private bathroom, and plenty of clever storage.

River Class – Classic comfort

Cabin names: Roe, Sale, Charney, Glenelg
Location: Lower deck
Cabin size: Approx. 3.1m x 2.1m

Down on the lower deck, these cabins offer quiet and seclusion, but without sacrificing the comforts of home. They feel like a place to cocoon yourself at day’s end, where the gentle sway of the sea and the occasional call of seabirds set the soundtrack to a perfect night’s rest.

Each River Class stateroom includes a queen-size bed and portholes that let in soft natural light, an ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, a flatscreen TV, and onboard entertainment. Thoughtful touches – from the placement of reading lamps to the additional Pullman available – elevate these cabins beyond the ordinary.

Ocean Class – Compact & considered

Cabin names: Montebello Islands, Rowley Shoals, Abrolhos
Location: Lower deck

Large portholes provide that constant visual cue that you’re somewhere far, far from the everyday. The vibe here is one of simplicity, serenity, and subtle luxury, a space to ground you, and then lift you again the next morning.

Beyond the cabin

Aboard True North, guests can take advantage of a number of lavish vantage points, including a sundeck, a forward observation lounge, a main lounge, and an alfresco bar. The lounge includes interpretive information on wall-mounted screens, and Starlink access to personal devices, plus an in-lounge library with plenty of educational literature.

Unlike conventional cruise lines, the crew aboard True North are not just service providers, they’re your fellow explorers. They’ll bait your hook, carry your scuba tank, guide you through ancient rock art sites, and join you for dinner or a drink in the lounge. They’re storytellers, chefs, mariners, and warm hosts all in one.

On True North II, the experience is just as personal, with a maximum of 22 guests, a combined saloon/lounge area, a dedicated sports deck, an alfresco bar, and a stylish boardroom-style dining salon. Here too, the crew are as much a part of the experience as the destinations themselves, generous with their knowledge, their company, and their enthusiasm for adventure.

Comfort that goes where the wild is

The cabins aboard True North and True North II offer more than a good night’s sleep; they’re part of the journey. With carefully designed interiors, stunning ocean views, and a level of hospitality that feels both intuitive and genuine, each cruise cabin is a perfect blend of luxury and wilderness.

So whether you’re waking up to the light glinting off a Kimberley gorge or writing postcards after a helicopter landing on a remote island, your cabin is your quiet, comfortable corner of the wild, where adventure begins and ends each day.

Because on a True North cruise, every detail, right down to your room, is designed to make the journey unforgettable.
