Australasia Cruises

Destination description

Let's be honest, a cruise around Australia and New Zealand - it doesn't get much better. Sydney's iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge look even more stunning when viewed from the deck of a luxury cruise liner. Australia's two main cities Sydney and Melbourne compete on many fronts, but Sydney wins it hands down when it come to the sheer wow factor of it's huge natural harbour, yet Melbourne gets the vote as Australia's premium cultural destination. Australia is vast, and there's no better way of getting round this it than on a cruise ship. Chose a cruise itinerary that takes in the wonderful Whitsunday Islands, the Great Barrier Reef and Brisbane on the east coast of Australia. Alternatively there are plenty of cruises that involve crossing the Tasman sea which links Australia with New Zealand. New Zealand boasts some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. Cruise itineraries of New Zealand include the Bay of Island with its spectacular white sandy beaches, Auckland, New Zealands largest city, Napier, an ex-whaling station and one of the worlds leading art-deco centres and Wellington the capital of New Zealand. And dont forget New Zealands south island and home to some of the best Sauvingon wines in the world.
