Southern Australia Seacation

Pricing is based on departure date: 02 Mar 2028

Australia is most often experienced by air, its great cities disconnected by distance. This voyage does something more intimate: it connects Sydney, Eden, Melbourne, and Adelaide in a single, flowing coastal journey. This allows guests to feel the geography of the continent's south, the Bass Strait crossing, the shift from Pacific coast to Great Australian Bight in a way no flight ever could. Four cities, four distinct personalities, one continuous southern arc.

Why Guests Will Love This Voyage

• A point-to-point journey along Australia's most cultured and storied southern coastline, from the Pacific energy of Sydney to the Mediterranean calm of Adelaide.
• Sydney's iconic harbour embarkation, as one of the great ship departures in the world, with Harbour Bridge and the Opera House as the send-off.
• Eden, a quiet coastal gem rarely featured on major itineraries, offering an intimate counterpoint to the voyage's larger cities.
• Melbourne's legendary food, art, and sport culture, which is one of the Southern Hemisphere's most cosmopolitan cities, easily explored on foot from port.
• Adelaide's world-class wine regions, the Barossa and Eden Valleys, just beyond the city's graceful boulevards and Victorian architecture.
• A compact, unhurried itinerary ideal for first-time Australia visitors and seasoned travellers alike. No flying between cities, just seamless coastal discovery.

Itinerary highlights

Sydney, Australia

As your ship passes Harbour Heads, you are presented with the shimmering skyline of Sydney - hailed by many seafarers as "the most beautiful harbor in the world." Two prominent landmarks, Harbour Bridge and the sail-like curves of the Sydney Opera House, grace the backdrop of this picturesque harbor. There is a wealth of adventure waiting in Sydney - from its cosmopolitan city center to miles of beautiful beaches and the Blue Mountains.Australia's oldest and largest city was born in 1788 with the arrival of the "First Fleet" transporting 760 British convicts. Today, Sydney is the largest port in the South Pacific and is often voted the most popular destination in the South Pacific.

Eden, Australia

Eden is a coastal town in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.

Melbourne, Australia

Victoria may be Australia's smallest continental state, but Melbourne, its capital, is big on everything. With a population of 4.25 million people living in 59 separately named communities within 715 square miles, Melbourne is a sprawling city offering culture, art, fashion and friendly, sports-minded Australians. It is also an easy city to explore. At the heart of the city is the Golden Mile, the city's governmental and commercial center, home to hotels, shops, restaurants and theaters.Originally part of New South Wales, Victoria became a colony in its own right in 1851. The discovery of gold propelled Melbourne's growth to prominence and prosperity.Travel Tip: Melbourne is pronounced "mell-burn."

Adelaide, Australia

Founded in 1836, this graceful city lies nestled on the coastal plain between Gulf St. Vincent and the Adelaide Hills. Adelaide was the vision of Colonel William Light, Australia's Surveyor General, who created a one-mile-square grid for the city's center and surrounded it with a belt of stunning parkland. Today, Adelaide is a metropolis of over one million people, boasting wide, tree-lined boulevards, superb Victorian and Edwardian architecture, tranquil parks, world-class shopping, and the highest number of restaurants per capita of any city in Australia. Beyond the city and the rugged Adelaide Hills lie the Barossa and Eden Valleys. Here Australian vintners are winning international acclaim for their Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz.
