True North Adventure Cruises recently completed the annual refit of its ship, TRUE NORTH, in the port city of Fremantle, Western Australia. The company said no expense was spared this year bringing all facilities back to showroom condition.
This year’s refit was more extensive than usual, with the ship’s forward sundeck and alfresco bar areas substantially refined to provide a more user-friendly and enjoyable space for guests.
The sundeck has benefited from the provision of improved and additional seating, new tabletops and daybeds, mood lighting and Tefroka decking. The alfresco bar area also features new-and-improved table arrangements, additional lighting and Tefroka decking.
“We were aware that these areas of the ship were being underutilised – they have always been fantastic spaces, but we needed to make some improvements to ensure that our guests were able to take full advantage of both areas,” said True North Adventure Cruises Managing Director, Craig Howson. “This year’s refit provided the maintenance window that we have been looking for and now I can’t wait to join our guests as they relax in even greater style than before.”
Other ship-wide refinements included adding the Tefroka decking to all external stairs, additional soundproofing in the ship’s lounge and the complete repainting of the ship’s exterior.
Howson said he is looking forward to a busy year. “I think a lot of Australians will choose to holiday at home this year, to help with the bushfire recovery and possibly to avoid international destinations that present a higher risk of coronavirus infection.”
The ship departed Fremantle on 5 March and will visit the Abrolhos Islands, Ningaloo Reef and the Monte Bello Islands as part of the annual West Coast Explorer. A sold-out guest list will disembark in Dampier after 10 nights onboard.
TRUE NORTH will then continue onto Broome ahead of the ship’s Kimberley season. A small number of cabins are still available for seven- and 14-night adventures along the Kimberley Coast.
