These cruises in Australia and closer to our shores are making waves.
Asia-Pacific is becoming a key destination for some of the world's largest cruise lines. Don't just take our word for that; have a look at Norwegian Cruise Line's 2024-25 sailing calendar, during which three of the company's most significant vessels - Sun, Sky and Spirit - will be plying the waters around Australia or closer to our shores.
We're most excited about Norwegian Spirit's 14-day voyage in December 2024 from Sydney to Bali, which will stop at ports such as Cairns, Darwin and Bali. But if you want to discover the fleeting natural wonders of Japan, sign up for the 10-day Tokyo to Seoul cherry blossom cruise kicking off in March 2025 aboard Norwegian Sky, or the 12-day Tokyo to Tokyo autumn-foliage cruise in November 2024 on Norwegian Sun.
There's some exciting news for travellers looking for river cruises in Australia, too. Murray River Paddlesteamers has just launched its 2024-25 calendar of three-, four- and seven-night journeys on the legendary Murray River (between Echuca and Torrumbarry Weir in Victoria) aboard PS Emmylou. The boutique vessel accommodates a maximum of 16 guests. And it gets better. Book a cruise before July 31 and get 10 per cent discount. ncl.com, murrayriverpaddlesteamers.com.au
