cw2go Posted November 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I am researching an Aussie adventure and am drawn to an Oceana Cruise sailing out of Perth to Sydney for Jan 2025 ~ The sailing is almost sold out but the following 2 sailings have plenty of availability? Is there any explanation for why this would be? Anyone know of any large group sailings? Is this an itinerary that is commonly booked quickly? Thank You, Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if there is a large group. I called Oceana and they really had no info other than its almost Sold Completly out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted November 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Looking at the previous cruises, Fremantle to Sydney appears to be a segment of a much longer cruise originating in Sydney. So, there would be the passengers doing the whole trip, and a smaller number of spaces created by those disembarking in Fremantle. Subsequent cruises are all in the neighbourhood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted November 12, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Isn’t it part of the australia circumnavigation? They only do it once a year and it’s super popular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are holing off bookings to the 1/2 routes, if that makes sense? Just seems odd to have limited rooms this far in advance.

GUT2407 Posted November 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Maybe they are holding off releasing them hoping they get more takers on the circumnavigation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbeh Posted November 13, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I think that cruises out of Fremantle sell out quickly as they are few and far between. Unlike our lucky cousins in the eastern states who get many options to cruise from home ports. This may be the reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone doing the south half, they will be happy to match it with someone doing it with the north half - but would prefer to sell the whole lap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems insane this far out but I chose to book a guaranteed room for the lower half. (Had to go with a C1 Window / Balcony wasn't an option) We are coming from The States and are still working so time off is at 3 weeks maximum. Excited for the lower loop, really wanted a sailing that was Australia focused. We plan to visit NZ separately. New to Oceania so I'll be plugging along learning the ropes in the next 2 years. I'm a Celebrity Cruiser but we've chosen to go small and make our Aussi adventure all about The Land Down Under 🐨 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
