It looks like the solo ship of Orion Expedition Cruises, a company that offers cruises around Australia, has been but up for sale through Burgess Yachts. The Orion was built in 2003 by Cassens as an expedition cruise designed to give 106 passengers (in 53 cabins) a luxurious experience. The 338-foot yacht's design was inspired by private megayachts. The ship is also home to a crew of 75. The yacht comes with 10 Zodiac tenders and 10 kayaks. Features include a elevators, a gym, jacuzzi, salon, spa and a lecture theater. She cruises at 12.5 knots. No price has been listed but a I bet she could make some billionaire very happy.

Please be aware that Orion is NOT FOR SALE. The article stating that Orion is for sale through Burgess Yachts is totally incorrect - if you visit the Burgess link you will see that Orion is one of the ships available for charter, not sale.

A visit to the Orion website will provide all the information regarding our 2008 itineraries to the Kimberley (Australia), Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and the Antarctic: www.orioncruises.com.au

Orion is available for charter as well as individual travel.
