The wind in your hair, and endless ocean on the horizon. There is no mistaking it – you must be on a cruise! And you certainly aren’t alone. Cruising is now one of the most popular holiday choices for travellers who want value for money, comfort and the convenience of visiting multiple destinations in just one trip. Explore our site to discover the best cruise deals from leading cruise operators to explore Australia or head overseas. Select from European River Cruises, the Pacific Islands, Alaska and Asia – the only limit is your imagination.

To help get you started, we’ve listed the best destinations you can choose from if you’re cruising for the first time, are a regular cruiser – or if you’re getting back into the cruising lifestyle.

Alaska

Explore the great and seemingly boundless coastline of Alaska, backdropped with towering snowy peaked mountains. Gaze in awe at Glacier Bay National Parks’ mammoth icy glaciers, explore Alaska’s stunning Inside Passage or go face-to-face with wildlife as you witness soaring eagles and bears in their natural habitat. Get onboard Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Holland America, Norwegian Cruises and Princess Cruises to delight in Alaska’s rich, gold-rush culture and fishing history visiting Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. Take the chance to watch real lumberjacks in action, meet First Nations People, watch whales at play, or dine on the fresh catch of the day and more.

The South Pacific

You can never go wrong with warm blue waters, white sand beaches, and a laid-back tropical vibe with this cruise destination. Check out the second largest coral reef in the world in New Caledonia’s Noumea or go on a day trip to Amadee, a lovely coral cay, for a taste of true tropical beauty. Shopping for souvenirs? Port Vila in Vanuatu has got you covered, to take a piece of the islands home with you from its colourful, busy, and bustling market. P&O Cruises, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises and more cruise from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland (to name a few).

European River Cruises

The demand for European River Cruises has seen a sharp increase in past years, and you can get in on the action with one of our most popular itineraries, cruising Amsterdam to Budapest (or vice versa) via the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers. It’s perfect for those looking to sail through the very heart of Europe to discover fascinating bucketlist cities, charming villages and new landscapes around every river bend. Seek out the art and culture, picturesque castles, medieval architecture, and UNESCO World Heritage sites in Vienna, Melk, and Nuremburg. Make sure you try the gluhwein (mulled wine), schnitzel and delicious black forest cake (yum), or shop till you drop at the delightful Christmas markets leading into the festive season.
