Why sail this route

You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 2 countries over 12 nights, starting in Sydney and finishing in Cairns, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.

The pacing runs to 10 port days and 8 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise

As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Sydney and home from Cairns, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book.
