It seems as though North Star Cruises has a bit of a monopoly on awards!
On Friday night the celebrated adventure-cruise company won the coveted Adventure Tourism category at the National Tourism Awards.
The award follows recent awards for exporting and, a big night at the West Australian Tourism Awards when the company was voted best performer in 3 categories.
In accepting the award, North Star director Craig Howson said that it was easy to see why the company was so successful. “We have the best adventure-cruise ship in the world, the best crew in the world and, our program includes some of the best wilderness destinations in the world”.
North Star operates the luxury adventure-cruise ship TRUE NORTH and destinations include Ningaloo Reef, the Kimberley, the Rowley Shoals, the Great Barrier Reef and Papua New Guinea.
All cruises are activity based with daily programs that feature helicopter flights, snorkeling & diving, nature walks, cultural experiences, wilderness picnics and much more!
