Australia

Australia is great destination for a long cruises. There are a number of Australian Cruises sail between Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand where holidaymakers can explore geysers, bubbling thermal pools, fjords and glaciers on the one hand as well as lush green forests, rivers and white sandy beaches. There are basically four different types of cruises in Australia and New Zealand. First, you can fly into a major airport in Australia or New Zealand (normally Sydney or Auckland), embark on a cruise of 10-15 days to various ports in Australia, New Zealand or Tasmania, and then fly back home. Second, you can book a segment of 15-100+ days of a world cruise that includes Australia and/or New Zealand ports. Third, you can take a repositioning cruise between Southeast Asia and Australia. Finally, you can fly to Australia and book a cruise of a week or more on a small ship that cruises only in the South Pacific. Let's take a look at some of these in more detail.

You probably won't see any kangaroos from a cruise ship, but that shouldn't keep you from choosing to cruise to this intriguing continent. Cruise lines have discovered that many cruise lovers want to cruise down under, and many people have the time off to vacation from North America or Europe to Australia and New Zealand.

Most cruises to Australia are in the fall through the winter months. Since the seasons are reversed, it's perfect weather for cruising. Some cruise lines base one ship in Australia for the prime cruising season, and leave it there until it is time to reposition to another part of the world in March. With the number of cruise ships built over the last few years, you have a wide variety of cruise ships to choose from for the late fall and winter in Australia this year.

These cruise lines will have cruises that both embark and disembark in Australian or New Zealand ports. Most cruise itineraries range from 10 to 24 days.
