A guide to Luxury Cruising Australia

January 31, 2009 by Midje Ette · Leave a Comment 

Australia is a fascinating place and a great one to choose for your next cruise. Full of unique and amazing plants and animals, it’s a compelling spot for travelers of every kind.

First, you’ll be welcomed aboard the stylish cruise ship in the evening, and have the chance to join the cruise for cocktails and apertifs while they introduce everything the ship has to offer. Enjoy the renowned cuisine of Australian cruise ships over the course of your trip.

On day one, you might visit Cape Jervis, a picturesque village by the sea that’s called the gateway to Kangaroo Island. Providing easy access to McLaren Vale, one of the best grape producing locations in the world, this village is the first thing you’ll see before you visit one of Australia’s best wine producing regions.

Of course, you wouldn’t want to miss the great meals cruises are famous for, and a cruise to Australia is no different. Enjoy fine dining in a luxurious dining room that offers both comfort and great views. Panoramic windows make sure that you won’t miss anything, even though you’re enjoying a great meal.

On some ships, like the famed True North, the crew are all native Australians. That means they’re familiar with all the locations you’ll be visiting and are equipped to tell you everything you’d like to know about the history, plants, animals and landscapes of the ports and attractions.

While they’re able to tell you a lot about the ports, and can even advise you on daytime activities, expect the staff to be professional throughout the cruise. They’ll manage your entire stay, providing for any detail of entertainment or comfort you could desire – if you need help, just call on the crew.

Some Australian cruises offer cage diving with the fierce predators of the sea – great white sharks! If you want to live a little, join the experienced operators for what might be your only opportunity to see these sharks up close in their natural environment, from the safety of the shark cage.

Consider having fresh sashimi caught that morning, local wine, or even a tutorial from the chef on how to prepare local crab!

Enjoy fishing expeditions to catch the finest in Australian edible fish. From mangrove jack and coral trout to barramundi and monster golden snapper, you’ll enjoy this great sporting opportunity. In cooler waters, enjoy catching pink snapper, emperors and whiting.

Anglers will enjoy the many fishing options available on board Australian cruises. Many delicious species of fish can be caught in these waters, and guides are available with the expertise to help anyone on a fishing excursion. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a beginner or an old hand – there’s someone to help you catch your fish.

You may not be permitted to wear shoes on board – this is for the protection of the ship and to keep it in top condition. However, be sure to bring appropriate shoes for off-board activities – you’ll need them with all there is to do.

After a long, fantastic cruise, you’ll head to the final port, where a morning disembarkation takes you to light aircraft transfer back to your port of origin. You’ll be amazed at everything available as part of an Australian cruise.
