Does anyone do an all Australia cruise?

[zitsky]

I'm thinking something that starts and ends in Sydney or Bali.  I've seen it somewhere but now I cannot remember where.  Lots of Aus and NZ trips but I have been to NZ multiple times.

Look on cruisetimetables.com.

As above, plus I know Princess does 'around Australia' cruises, other lines may, too.  Look at Sea Princess in March 2019and 2020, and in October 2019.    EM

If you say you want an Indonesian/Aussie voyage look for when Carnival Oz and P&O Oz have dry dock schedules as the ship will refit in Singapore and sail from there, then go to places in South East Asia such as Bali and go around the topand side of Oz which usually means Darwin, Cairns, Airlie Beach and Sydney.

 

Check out voyages that go from Singapore to Australia as they will have what you described.

 

We did this cruise this summer gone and it was fabulous. 14 days and we went from Singapore to Bali (2 day overnight), Komodo Island, East Timor, Cairns , Airlie Beach then Brisbane. It was with P&O Oz.

A few years ago we did a cruise around Australia (round trip Sydney). It was 28 days and we had a great time.

Princess does several:

- the circumnavigation of Australia twice a year, usually on Sea Princess, and typically March/April and October/November. This is also sold as Bottom End and Top End sectors.

- Sydney to Far North Queensland return, ships vary.

- Fremantle (Perth) has some return cruises that cover only Australian ports - some up to Broome and others across the bottom of Australia.

Could you share the name of the cruise line?  I guess these are about a month long.  It's a big country.

Same here.

OP: Oceania does it.

Now, only if they'd do a circumnavigation of Sicily!

Check Princess Cruises, P&O - Australia & HAL. Affirmative, ones I have seen are minimum 28 days

[MicCanberra]

Royal normally do one as well, also around 28 nights.

[GUT2407]

Best cruise we ever did, there are a few options,

 

Princess offer a couple each year, most 28 days, but we did 33 that included Sth Island of NZ

 

Celebrity sometimes offer it as two cruises top and bottom end, orAukland to Perth, and then Perth to Sydney

 

Royal Caribbean offer some b2b that allow either round trip or similar to the Celebrity one

 

Regent recently offered one I looked at but $$$$$$

 

Cunard sometimes do it, but haven’t seen it in the current plans.

 

HAL have done it in the past, but haven’t seen it for a year or two.

Sorry I left out the Cruise line. We were on Princess and it was 28 days.

Viking does it but reviews are not good from what I hear.

[MicCanberra]

Viking is a bit more exxy compared to the mass market lines.

They seem to sell out quick, which leaves me wondering why there aren’t more on offer.

Not everything, we like long cruises.

That’s why I said Just About

 

we also tend to lengthen any short names.

Ok.  Have never been to Oz (that's Australia).  Hope I can get there soon.
