Convict Coast – Hobart & Port Arthur

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 6-night round-trip sailing from Sydney on March 19, 2027 visits Eden, Hobart and Port Arthur. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. People come back from this cruise talking about Eden: Where whales come to play on the Sapphire Coast. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Royal Princess keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Sydney before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 3 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
