Gilded Meridian – Bali, Darwin & Sydney

About this cruise

Block out 28 nights from September 28, 2027 and let this sailing from Singapore do its thing. The route covers Klang, Pulau Penang Island and Phuket, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Last stop: Sydney. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Singapore, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The route threads through 4 countries along the Australia & New Zealand coast: Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia. Of the stops, Broome WA tends to be the one people talk about: Kimberley's red-pindan gateway to Cable Beach sunsets. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sapphire Princess has 14 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Singapore itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
