The First Voyage
Great Barrier Reef | 25–31 October 2026
Our inaugural voyage pairs Philipa Thornton’s Structured Trauma Intervention program with a 6-night Great Barrier Reef cruise designed for meaningful learning and genuine restoration.
With two dedicated CPD days at sea, iconic Queensland stops, a welcome cocktail event, and accommodation and standard onboard meals included, this is a more thoughtful way to do professional development.
What to Expect from a CPD Cruise
Accredited
CPD
A psychology-focused learning experience designed to deliver meaningful clinical value, thoughtful pacing, and professional development that feels rigorous, restorative, and relevant.
Expert Facilitation
Workshops and guided discussions are led by experienced facilitators and guest presenters, offering practical insight, professional depth, and learning that feels immediately useful.
Space to
Reflect
Unlike traditional conference formats, the structure allows room to pause, recharge, connect with peers, and properly absorb the ideas, insights, and learning from each session.
Onboard Experience
Each voyage blends professional learning with comfort, connection, and time at sea, creating an experience that feels supportive, refreshing, and thoughtfully paced from start to finish.

Dining to Suit Every Mood
From casual bites to sit-down meals, the onboard dining experience gives guests plenty of choice across the voyage. Whether you want something quick and easy, a relaxed dinner, or a drink with ocean views, there are options to make the experience feel enjoyable beyond the CPD sessions.

Time to Unwind Onboard
The experience at sea extends well beyond your room, with pools, spa facilities, entertainment, and quieter adults-only spaces all part of the journey. It is designed to feel comfortable, enjoyable, and more restorative than a typical professional development format.
