Which ports will I visit?

15 ports appear on the short cruises from Sydney we list. Solid pins are where sailings begin.

  • Hobart's bayside suburbs and beach on the Derwent

    Hobart

    Australia’s second-oldest city, with Salamanca Place’s sandstone warehouses close to the wharf. MONA is a ferry ride up the Derwent, and kunanyi / Mount Wellington looks down on the whole town.

  • Rocky headlands on the coast at Eden

    Eden

    A small whaling town on Twofold Bay, near the Victorian border. The Killer Whale Museum tells its story, and from September to November humpbacks pass close to the headlands.

  • Auckland's skyline and the Sky Tower across the harbour

    Auckland

    The City of Sails, built between two harbours and over some fifty volcanic cones. Take the ferry to Waiheke Island for its vineyards and beaches, climb Mount Eden for the view, or stay on the waterfront at the Viaduct and Wynyard Quarter.

  • The Brisbane skyline on the river at dusk

    Brisbane

    Cruise ships use the terminal at Luggage Point, at the mouth of the Brisbane River. South Bank’s parklands and galleries, a CityCat ferry ride and Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary are the usual choices.

  • Melbourne skyline across the Yarra River

    Melbourne

    Ships berth at Station Pier in Port Melbourne, a short tram ride from the city. Laneway cafes, the galleries along the Yarra and the Queen Victoria Market are the easy picks.

  • The penitentiary ruins at the Port Arthur Historic Site

    Port Arthur

    The best-preserved convict site in Australia, on the Tasman Peninsula south-east of Hobart. The ship anchors offshore and tenders you in: walk the penitentiary ruins and the gardens, and take the short harbour cruise past the Isle of the Dead.
