YOUR ITINERARY
Welcome to Perth! An urban oasis amongst the boundless nature of Western Australia, Perth provides a pleasant change in pace. Explore 990 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens at Kings Park, relax in the sun at Cottesloe Beach and meet the friendly quokkas at Rottnest Island. Enjoy a 2-night hotel stay to explore this exciting city.
...Your included Swan Valley tour runs today. Head east of Perth into Western Australia’s oldest wine region, with vineyards, artisan food producers and wildlife parks lining the valley floor. Tonight, get ready to embark tomorrow morning.
...Embark your 16 night cruise from Perth onboard Sapphire Princess today.
...Two days at sea as the ship heads north from Fremantle toward Broome. This is open Indian Ocean – warm, turquoise water and nothing on the horizon. The Kimberley is close now.
...Your day at sea will allow you to take full advantage of everything the ship has to offer. Seek out hidden treasures and make the most of the facilities onboard. All of the ships activities can be found on the vessels daily newsletter. If relaxation is on your mind then your sea day will allow you to sit back, soak in ship life and watch the world as it floats by.
...Cable Beach is one of Australia’s best stretches of sand, best seen at sunset from a camel. The pearl farm tours give you a genuine look at Broome’s history, and the dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point are visible at low tide – 130-million-year-old tracks preserved in rock.
...Welcome to the Kimberley, the vast and largely untouched wilderness of Western Australia’s north. Shaped by ancient gorges, broad tidal flats and a rugged interior, this coastline looks much as it did thousands of years ago.
...Enjoy a relaxing day at sea.
...Welcome to Darwin, gateway to Australia’s Top End. As the only Australian capital with a tropical climate, Darwin enjoys a more laidback vibe. During your stay, get up close to the crocodiles at Crocosaurus Cove, chill out in the Wave Lagoon and learn about Darwin’s World War 2 history at the Defence of Darwin Experience.
...Enjoy a relaxing day at sea.
...Welcome to Cairns, the jewel of the north. As the door to tropical Queensland, Cairns is a must-visit for nature lovers. Catch the scenic railway to Kuranda, a colourful village filled with markets, wildlife, and Aboriginal cultural experiences. Back in the city, take a dip in the Cairns Lagoon or bring out your adventurous side at Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome.
...Welcome to Willis Island! This tiny island is almost completely uninhabited, bar the Meteorological Bureau’s cyclone monitoring station. As you cruise past this remote island, be on the lookout for unique wildlife, such as tropical birds and green sea turtles.
...Enjoy a relaxing day at sea.
...You have now arrived in Brisbane, walk down Southbank, take a ferry up the river or book a shore excursion to Australia Zoo! Founded by Australian Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s family you can get up close with kangaroo’s, koalas and many other interesting animals.
...Enjoy a relaxing day at sea.
...Farewell Sydney today as you disembark from your cruise ship, or ask us about our flexible flights and extend your stay.
