Coastal Drift – Newcastle & Melbourne
About this cruise
Some of the best trips are the ones you barely had to plan. 4 nights from Sydney on April 2, 2027, visiting Newcastle and Melbourne, and you're home before the laundry piles up. You get off in Melbourne, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Sydney, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. Don't rush through Newcastle, which is known as Australia's harbour of surf, coal, and culture. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Grand Princess has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 2 ports across 4 nights covers a lot.

Getting there: out to Sydney, home from Melbourne
This cruise does not return to Sydney. It ends in Melbourne, so your flight home leaves from there.
