Oceanic Discoverer is an expedition cruise ship operating in Australia and Oceania. With a homeport of Cairns, Tropical North Queensland, the Oceanic Discoverer is fully registered under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) for international operation.

She was launched in January 2005 as Oceanic Princess but the name was changed in late 2006 to differentiate her from similarly named cruise ships, particularly those operated by the US-based Princess Cruises.
