Which ports will I visit?

Loading the map…
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

The best time to cruise to Tasmania is summer, December to February, when Hobart averages 11.5 to 21°C and January and February are its driest months. The cruise season runs from October to April. Autumn brings many calm, sunny days averaging 9 to 17°C, while winter is cold and very few ships sail.
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.
