Loading the map…
Kangaroo Island
Australia’s third-largest island, off South Australia: sea lions at Seal Bay, the Remarkable Rocks and plenty of kangaroos and koalas. A tender port, with a long drive to the best of it.
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.
Adelaide
A wine day for many: the Barossa, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills are all within reach. In town, the Central Market, the galleries on North Terrace and the beach at Glenelg are easy.
Port Lincoln
The seafood capital of Australia, on the Eyre Peninsula: tuna and oysters straight off the boats, swimming with sea lions, and the coastline of Lincoln National Park.
Burnie
A port town on Tasmania’s north-west coast: the Makers’ Workshop, little penguins on the foreshore at dusk, and a day out to Cradle Mountain or the Nut at Stanley.
Sydney
Sailing out through the Heads, past the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, is the best start to any cruise. Board early and there is time for a last walk round Circular Quay and The Rocks first.

Can the sea be rough on a Tasmania cruise?
It can be. The waters south of mainland Australia, including Bass Strait, take strong westerly winds when cold fronts pass, and summer still has the odd rough day. If you are prone to seasickness, choose a cabin low down and in the middle of the ship.
Are Port Arthur and Kangaroo Island tender ports?
Yes. At Port Arthur the ship anchors in the bay and tenders bring guests to the historic site's jetty. At Kangaroo Island ships anchor off Penneshaw. A tender call can be cancelled if the sea is too rough.
