Jerry Hall cruises Kimberley coast on the True North

Well known actress and model, Jerry Hall was on board Australia’s own luxury adventure- cruise ship, The True North last week where she and her partner enjoyed a one-week Kimberley cruise.

“The Kimberley is one of the last true wildernesses: it has not been spoilt by tourism or pollution and the best way to explore this ancient region is by cruising along its coast. For someone like me there is no better ship than the True North. It is a small luxury liner with just 18 cabins – serving delicious gourmet food and wine with a staff of 20 young, attractive and extremely efficient crew members. It is a top class operation whether you enjoy hiking through wilderness with their biologists, admiring the plants and birds or fishing for giant barramundi. Cruising along the Kimberley coast on the True North is the trip of a lifetime,” said Jerry Hall.

Ms Hall is on assignment for the London Times and is travelling with her partner, Perth millionaire Warwick Hensley. Hall will report on her travels when she returns home and the likely front-page exposure will hopefully be a major bonus for all tourism operators in the Kimberley.

Offering activity-based itineraries all around the Australian coastline and adjacent to the remote jungles of West Papua and Papua New Guinea, the True North has always been a firm favourite with Australia’s travelling elite. The ship allows discerning guests to experience wilderness in surroundings more akin to one of the world’s most exclusive hotels.

However, the appeal of the True North complete with helicopter and multiple expedition boats was always bound to attract the attention of discerning overseas travelers and, according to North Star Cruises’ general manager, Peter Trembath, the tide has begun to turn.

“In the past year we have attracted strong attention from both North America and Europe. And this interest is all the more pleasing when you consider that we are still up against uncertain world economics and adverse exchange rates. The reputation of the True North is so strong; we are managing to buck the negative trends,” said Peter Trembath.
