Great Barrier Escape – Airlie Beach & Port Douglas
About this cruise
If you've got 11 nights to work with, this sailing from Sydney on December 1, 2026 through Airlie Beach, Yorkeys Knob, Port Douglas and Willis Island is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 4 port calls start. Sydney Opera House one day, Milford Sound's fjords another. The Antipodes reward the long flight. Keep an eye out for Yorkeys Knob: A quiet Cairns beach suburb by the reef. Around 14 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Edge has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. That's 11 nights well spent.
