Exploring some of Australia's most iconic destinations has been made easier with a new series of ultra-luxury travel itineraries by Morris Escapes and Morris Nautical.

Journey with Morris Escapes is a series of six, nine, or twelve-night itineraries designed to seamlessly connect Queensland's most extraordinary and diverse landscapes by air, land, and sea in complete luxury. Travellers can create their own bespoke journey between Morris Escapes' luxury lodges, Morris Nautical luxury yachts, and travel in style with Morris Aviation's helicopter fleet or private jet.

Morris Group Executive Chairman, Chris Morris, said the new offering makes planning the ultimate, ultra-luxury trip easier than ever.

“The Australian outback and Great Barrier Reef are bucket-list destinations for a good reason: there's nowhere like them in the world.” Mr Morris said.

“For some travellers, the distance and logistics of planning a trip between these places can sometimes be a barrier to ticking them off a must-see list of Australian places.”

Journey with Morris Escapes allows travellers to plot their journey between Morris Escapes luxury lodges, including Mt Mulligan Lodge in Tropical North Queensland; and Orpheus Island Lodge and Pelorus Private Island on the Great Barrier Reef.

“We wanted to create a way for people to experience all of it in one trip, whilst adding to the trademark luxury treatment they expect from a trip with Morris Escapes”, Ross Penegar, CEO of Morris Escapes explains.

Morris Escapes will handle all the connections between destinations, with travel options including chartering one of Morris Nautical's three luxury yachts or arriving in style in one of Nautilus Aviation's helicopters, or new Bombardier Challenger 604 private jet.

“An important part of the concept is that the travel time is part of the whole experience,” Mr Penegar said.

“Every element of their itinerary is managed by us. All they have to do is decide where they want to visit and how they want to experience it, and we take care of the rest.”

Morris Escapes and Morris Nautical's team of Luxury Reservations Specialists can plan the entire itinerary, from the moment the guest lands in Australia.

“It's not just about removing that burden from the guest in planning out their dream luxury Australian holiday, it also adds deeper meaning to how high-end travellers experience these uniquely special destinations, shifting the focus to maximising the real luxury, which is time,” Mr Penegar said.

Sam Aldred, CEO of Morris Nautical, notes that adding a yacht charter to any Australian itinerary offers the best way to experience the Great Barrier Reef.

“Chartering a yacht is still something relatively new for Australia. You can now experience a charter here much like you would in the Mediterranean or Caribbean, private, flexible, and entirely at your own pace – but on the Great Barrier Reef,” Mr Aldred says.

Journey with Morris Escapes is designed for private groups, multi-generational families, or couples and can be tailored to individual preferences, including options for exclusive access, personalised service, and world-class hospitality and service throughout. Itineraries can be modified to suit budget, with a variety of options available for room types, on-site experiences, transfers and yachts.

Morris Aviation's new Bombardier Challenger 604 offers seamless travel between Australia's major capital cities and North Queensland, offering a range of up to 7.5 hours. Configured to accommodate up to 10 passengers and featuring four single beds, the aircraft allows guests to travel in complete privacy and comfort. For travellers passing through Townsville, Morris Group's five-star hotel, Ardo, boasting two signature restaurants, iconic rooftop pool and bar, acts as the perfect layover before travelling to the next destination.

To journey with Morris Escapes is to experience Australia's most diverse environments, from hiking at sunrise through the Australian bush; the smell of eucalyptus; a working cattle station; snorkelling clam gardens; to seeing the colours of the Great Barrier Reef for the first time.
