Cruising Australasia and the South Pacific Islands
An Australasia cruise is the perfect way to see Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands of Fiji, Tonga and French Polynesia. As well as a great number of cruise and stay options taking you to wonders like the Great Barrier Reef and Ayers Rock, just sailing into Sydney harbour is impressive in itself, as you sail past the world-famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
New Zealand has beautifully inspiring views, with mountains and lush green hills made famous by the Lord of the Rings films. If you are looking for a desert island getaway, meanwhile, the Pacific Islands offer a serene paradise of white sand beaches and crystal clear waters which support an abundant variety of sea life, coupled with the vibrant cultures of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia.
European passport holders will need to have a visa for Australia and/or New Zealand if they are to join or leave their ship in either of these countries.
When planning your Cruise don't forget the following:
- Check your itinerary to see all of the countries that you will visit
- Make sure your travel and health insurance are up to date
- Check if you need vaccinations and how long they will take
- Check with your doctor about sea sickness
- Research do's and don'ts in local cultures
- Make use of our Travel Emergency Registration and keep up to date with the security situation at your destination(s)
