There’s nothing like cruising around Australia for a great way to get a taste of this
vast country. However, if you want to enjoy the real flavour, you must spend some
more time and see what’s inside. Join us Downunder and enjoy a night at the
Opera in Sydney or sip some of Australia’s best wines in the Barossa Valley, to
name just a couple of the super options available to you before or after your cruise.
Unique Outback
To Aussies, the Outback is literally anywhere away from a
major urban centre. It may be the red desert in Central
Australia, World Heritage Wilderness in Tasmania, or the
wetland National Park of the “Top End”. Being the size
of continental USA, Australia’s landscape is diverse and
intriguing, with limitless opportunities for exploring.
Cosmopolitan Cities
Spend time in Sydney, home to the 2000 Olympics, it is
one of the most beautiful cities in the world; where friendly
locals catch a ferry to work, arriving with magnificent views
of the Sydney Opera House. A few extra days in Sydney,
and you can explore world-class museums and art galleries, just steps from the historic “Rocks” where Sydney began.
Explore 19th century warehouses, and if you’re in Sydney
on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, explore the Rocks Markets
