Introduction to Solway Voyager
Step aboard Solway Voyager, Australia’s most storied liveaboard and the longest-running tourism vessel on the planet. From hauling cargo in WWI to dodging submarines in WWII, this 127-ft tall ship now glides through the turquoise Whitsunday Islands, delivering relaxed sailing, island hikes and outer-reef snorkels in classic style. Guests of all ages can lend a hand on the helm, feel the rush of the rope swing, or simply lounge on deck nets as dolphins surf the bow wave.
