Coral Spire – Sydney & Port Douglas from Brisbane

About this cruise

10 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Brisbane on November 23, 2026 visits Sydney, Airlie Beach, Yorkeys Knob, Port Douglas and Willis Island and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Sydney Opera House one day, Milford Sound's fjords another. The Antipodes reward the long flight. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Yorkeys Knob, A quiet Cairns beach suburb by the reef. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Royal Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
