Cruise Holidays from Australia

South Pacific, Mediterranean, Alaska, river cruises and expedition voyages — booked by Australian cruise specialists with three decades of experience and direct cruise-line relationships.

Why book a cruise with us

More than a ship — the right cabin, the right line, the right voyage.

Cruising looks simple from the outside — pick a ship, pick a destination, book. In reality there are thousands of combinations: 50+ cruise lines, hundreds of itineraries, cabin grades that vary wildly between decks, and seasonal pricing that swings by thousands of dollars depending on when you book. Booking the wrong cabin on the wrong ship can ruin a cruise.

For over 30 years, we've been matching Australians to the right cruise. We know which ships handle rough seas best, which lines suit families versus couples versus solo travellers, which cabins to avoid (above the disco, near the laundry), and which shore excursions are worth paying for versus the ones better booked independently.

We work with every major cruise line — Royal Caribbean, Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, Carnival, P&O, Cunard, Viking, Silversea, Regent, Seabourn — and many of the smaller expedition lines too. One enquiry, every option.

Cruise Holiday FAQs

Quick answers to the questions Australian cruisers ask most before booking.

Where do Australians cruise to most?

The most popular cruise regions for Australians are the South Pacific (Fiji, New Caledonia, Vanuatu), Mediterranean (Greek Isles, Italy, Croatia), Alaska, the Caribbean, and Asia. River cruises through Europe (Rhine, Danube, Rhone) and expedition cruises to Antarctica are growing fast.

Do cruises sail from Australia?

Yes — many cruises sail directly from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Fremantle, particularly to the South Pacific and New Zealand. For international cruises (Mediterranean, Alaska, Caribbean), you'll fly to the embarkation port (e.g., Venice, Vancouver, Miami) and we'll arrange flights and pre-cruise hotels.

Which cruise line is best for first-time cruisers?

For first-time cruisers we often recommend Royal Caribbean, Princess, or Celebrity — they offer good value, plenty of activities, and a wide range of cabin categories. For a more premium first experience, Holland America or Celebrity work well. We'll match the line to your travel style.

How much does a cruise cost from Australia?

Cruise prices vary widely. A 7-night South Pacific cruise from Sydney starts from around $1,200 per person (inside cabin), Mediterranean cruises from $3,500 per person including flights, and luxury or river cruises from $6,000 per person including flights. Expedition cruises (Antarctica, Galápagos) start around $10,000+.

What's included in a cruise package?

Most cruises include accommodation, all main meals, on-board entertainment and activities. Drinks packages, specialty restaurants, shore excursions, gratuities, and Wi-Fi are usually extras — though many premium lines include some or all of these. We'll explain exactly what's included before you book.

Do you arrange flights and pre-cruise hotels?

Yes — we arrange the complete trip: flights to the embarkation port, pre- and post-cruise hotels, transfers, shore excursions, and travel insurance. We strongly recommend arriving at the cruise port at least one day early to allow for flight delays.
