80's cruise from Sydney   , New Zealand, Jul 2025
We made the 80's cruises in Carnival Adventure. Overall was really enjoyable, atmosphere on the cruise and especially the main shows were really good. Cabinets and overall state of the ship are very good too. Embarkation and disimbarkation process really organized and fast. Things not so good: There is not a lot of variety on food on The Pantry, and ...read more the daily entertainment was kind of short on options, with more of the activities focused only on Australian passengers. Is a good option anyways for a short break.
Wonderful APT Seabourn Pursuit Kimberley Cruise   , NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
The Seabourn Pursuit was a gorgeous ship with beautiful cabins, great food and food options, lovely bars, great entertainment and of course interesting zodiac based excursions to reefs, rivers, waterfalls and bird sanctuaries.
The average age was probably around 70 but everyone mixed well and everyone seemed very happy with all aspects of the cruise.

Margie ...read more the APT cruise director was fabulous bringing people together and involved in activities as did her assistant Tatijana. The Seabourn staff were all fabulous with great entertainment crew, bar and restaurant staff. The ship was always so clean. Special mention to the Captain Ertan who was so friendly and approachable. The staff has so much respect for him and his warmth and professionalism showed through all levels of the crew.

Thank you to Hannah from Global Journeys who recommended it. We certainly would never have had this amazing experience on the other cruises we were looking at.
Fantastic Kimberley Cruise   , NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
We have just returned from our Travelmarvel Kimberley cruise. We have only positive things to say, well organised, fantastic crew, and expedition team. Whilst the ship is over 30 years old, it never felt that way, and presents very well. The overall trip was very well organised by Tracy from Global Journeys who was always available and ready to assist. ...read more This is our third booking with Travelmarvel and our 4th booking with Global Journeys. We have already booked our next overseas trip with both these companies.
Accessible Stateroom   , SA, Australia, Mar 2025
The Crown Princess is a large Ship with 3,080 passengers. Because of my need to use a mobility scooter, it was mandatory to have an Accessible Stateroom. These Staterooms are so much larger; the bathroom is large with a large walking shower and plenty of grab rails to hold for safety. The ship is easy to get around on these small traveling scooters. ...read more The food was first class in both the Dining Room and the Horizoncourt. The crew is always very good and attentive to all your needs. The show was very enjoyable and had a full audience every night. A beautiful ship for a very enjoyable cruise.

Common Questions Common questions about cruising Australia

Is cruising a good way to see Australia?

Australia has approximately 35,000 km of stunning coastline, is one of the larger countries in the world and is the only one of its size completely surrounded by water. The coastline includes the Pacific, Indian and Southern oceans and offers a huge diversity of reefs, natural landscapes and stunning cities which definitely makes it a fantastic cruise destination.

When is the best time to cruise Australia?

Although Australia is a year round cruise destination, the main cruise season is from October to April. The greatest selection of departures are available during these summer months which are perfect for visiting Australia's coastal towns and stunning beaches. By contrast, the winter months of May, June, July and August are best for cruising in the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland when the wet season is over and humidity is low.
