WONDERS DOWN UNDER

Australian cruises.

From urban verve to outback wilderness, Australia is a year-round sunny paradise.

A large island nation, Australia delivers the best of both the city and the country, the beach and the bush. The locals here are a laidback and friendly bunch, with a dry sense of humor and their own slang language. Explore cosmopolitan Sydney, home to Bondi Beach's turquoise waters and the architecturally unique Sydney Opera House. Cruise to Australia and visit Queensland to experience the Whitsunday Islands, where you can snorkel to see the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest living organism. For an authentic Australian adventure, head to the outback: Check out Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, with its red dome known as Ayers Rock.

Join the throngs of sun-kissed Australian surfers and catch some of the world's best waves on Australia's beaches.

SWOON OVER SYDNEY

Visit Australia and tour Sydney's urban attractions like the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Taronga Zoo. For outdoor fun, nap on the white sands of Bondi Beach or scale the magnificent rock formations of the Blue Mountains.

MEET MELBOURNE

Melbourne is a hipster haven and Australia's culture, coffee and sports capital. Grab a flat black (the Australian version of an Americano, with espresso and hot water) at Patricia on Little Bourke Street, then rent a car and start off on the Great Ocean Road, which will take you along sweeping views of Australia's southern coast.

HEAD TO THE OUTBACK

In the remote Northern Territory, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park: See the famous dome-shaped red rock rising out of the Central Australian Desert. Or check out Kakadu National Park, where you can see ancient rock art at Nourlangie or hike to the hidden waterfalls at Motor Car, Twin or Jim Jim Falls.

TOWN AND COUNTRY

Get to know the different sides of Australia, from vibrant, modern cities to wild, untamed wilderness.

KING AMONG REEFS

Snorkel, dive and swim along the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef — you can even charter a glass-bottomed boat to stay dry while seeing the only living organism visible from outer space. The reef is accessible from places like Cairns, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Port Douglas in Queensland.

In Queensland, take a day trip to the surrounding tropical islands: Check out Fitzroy Island and its National Park, where you can laze on the white sands of the coral beach or go bird-watching for for emerald doves and white-bellied sea eagles. See the colored sands at postcard-perfect Fraser Island, or explore the wild island state of Tasmania during your vacation.

PICK A BEACH

Explore Western Australia's Cape Le Grand National Park, which offers stunning coastline set against rolling heathlands filled with kangaroos. Check out Queensland's Gold Coast, where you'll find local favorite Nobby Beach (known colloquially as "Nobby's"). Or get lost in Tasmania's Freycinet National Park, where pink granite cliffs overlook white-sand beaches and clear blue waves.

EXPEDITIONS DOWN UNDER SAY "G'DAY" TO AN OUTBACK ADVENTURE

Choose your Australian vacation adventure: Relax on a tropical island or one of thousands of beaches, hike in a remote national park or venture into the vibrant city.

SAMPLE SYDNEY

A sampler cruise from Sydney is a great way to experience both Australia's biggest city and an exciting cruise.

BE TANTALIZED BY TASMANIA

Tasmania is an underrated Australian state that's home to Cradle Mountain, the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site and the eccentric Museum of Old and New Art among other things to do.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Arriving in Australia

The best time to visit Australia depends on where you want to go. The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland and the Northern Territory are best explored during dry season (May to September), while summer is the optimal time to visit southern states like Victoria and Tasmania.

Weather-wise, northern Australia enjoys an endless summer, but it does get cold in Victoria and Tasmania during winter. Meanwhile, Melbourne is known for displaying four seasons in one day, so always have a jacket and umbrella on hand, just in case.

10 Best Things To Do in Australia

From Melbourne to Sydney to iconic animal experiences and world-class wine regions, here are the 10 best things to do in Australia.

A Guide to Australian Beaches

Discover the best Australian beaches for families, wildlife spotting, lounging, learning how to surf and diving into authentic beach culture.

In northern Australia, be aware that stingers (dangerous jellyfish) swarm the seas in the summer, from approximately October to March.

Tipping is not customary in Australia.

The universal phone number for taxi services across the country is 131008.

HOW TO DINE DOWN UNDER

"Fair dinkum" — Aussie slang for "authentic" or "genuine" — Australian cuisine has been influenced by England, New Zealand and even Italy. However, there's nothing more Australian than throwing some steak and snags (sausages) on a barbie (barbecue) — no shrimps allowed.

POPULAR PUB GRUB

There are two dishes to order at an Aussie pub: a chicken parmigiana (called a parmi Down Under) or a burger, which will usually come topped with Australian specialties like beetroot or pineapple. Of course, you can always go for a classic steaks: Porterhouses are popular in Victoria, while rump steaks are particularly beloved in New South Wales.

THE REAL BISCUIT

Australia has some delicious sweet treats, but it's perhaps best-known for perfecting the biscuit. Try Anzac biscuits with oats and golden syrup, lamingtons — a sponge square covered in chocolate and coconut — and Tim Tams, the local favorite brand of chocolate-covered biscuits.

IT'S PIE TIME

Meat pies — with a flaky pastry crust baked around a savory filling of ground meat (typically beef or lamb) and spices — are a traditional Australian lunch or snack found in bakeries across the country. Another favorite is the Chiko Roll, similar to a large spring roll but filled with the signature Aussie ingredients of mutton, celery, barley, rice, carrots and spices.

Related Ports

The Australian coast is dotted with beautiful ports, like Esperance, to explore. In Queensland, Cairns and Airlie Beach are both gateways to the Great Barrier Reef. Meanwhile, Darwin is a gateway to the Northern Territory's rugged natural sights, including Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, and Uluru.

Great barrier reef.

Marvel at one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World on a Great Barrier Reef cruise from one of three stunning locations: Airlie Beach, Cairns, or Port Douglas.

Airlie Beach & Whitsundays

Join a P&O cruise to Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays and you’ll find something to love, whether it’s snorkelling or diving in the sapphire-blue waters or just taking in the spectacular views. Yachties worldwide know this stretch of paradise as the “100 Magic Miles”, and it’s not hard to see why!

Port Douglas

Filled with boutiques, galleries, bars, and more, and a stone’s throw from the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest, Port Douglas is an unmissable cruise destination. Explore the natural sights or visit Mossman Gorge and learn about bush tucker and Aboriginal heritage from your Indigenous guide.

Cruise to Cairns and enjoy a cruise holiday that has it all. Ride the historic Kundara Rail, explore the Daintree Rainforest, visit the Great Barrier Reef, or go whitewater rafting, then fill up on damper by firelight at Cairns Night Zoo.

Explore the historic capital of Tasmania on foot by wandering around the famous Salamanca Markets, Battery Point, and Sandy Bay. For a more adventurous experience, join a P&O Shore Tour to Bruny Island and sample local delicacies, or stroll through the Tahune Forest canopy in the Huon Valley.

Port Arthur

One of the world’s best-preserved penal colonies, Port Arthur is rich with history and a rugged, dramatic landscape that accentuates its storied past. Explore the peninsula’s geological panoramas, or visit adorable carnivorous marsupials at the Tasmanian Devil Park.

Great Oyster Bay & Freycinet Peninsula

Kick back with a drop of something delicious in the aptly-named Wineglass & Great Oyster Bays. Nestled into the gorgeous Freycinet Peninsula, these two scenic cruises are perfect for sightseeing: All you have to do is take a seat on deck and admire the beauty of the bays and beaches.

Take a day trip to Burnie and visit Cradle Mountain or explore stunning, scenic glacial lakes. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of native animals including the Tasmanian Devil and other rare species on one of our wildlife park P&O Shore Tours.

We’re on the Oct 22 one. We’re also booked on the Feb 24 one on Coral. Wasn’t originally intentional to book both, just we were waitlisted on October with not much thought it would materialise, and then Feb 24 got released and we and heap friends booked it. Next thing Oct got a waitlist match for balcony and next thing we decided we’d do this one and still kept other one cos we’d plenty of time to cancel if need be!  If they gave us an out for October we’d take it!!!!

MicCanberra

I haven't done the whole trip and have only been on the Majestic so far, my Coral cruise is in September, but IMHO I would think March a nicer time of year on average for both the north and the south.

March probably would have an edge on Oct, but not by much.

For time of year their both probably good times to go.

As for ships???? From my experiance with different ship sizes, I prefer the Sun and Coral class ships.

But have sailed two grand class ships and there was not that much difference in the sailing experience between the different sized ships, except for the number of people .

So it would seem to depend on your preferences in Pax size, and any other issues with the timing of cruising.

Thats my two bobs worth...

Regads John

ps: We have done the trip "round Aust and NZ" in 2015 I think. And intend to do it again.

pps: after checking signature make that 2012.... oooh so long ago...

March on Majestic. Is that a goer?
