Marsupial Frontier – Kangaroo Island, Hobart & Sydney

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 13 nights from Melbourne on October 11, 2027, visiting Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, Hobart, Port Arthur, Sydney and Eden. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 6 stops with a breather between each one. The distances are huge, which makes the sea days feel earned, and the ports feel worth it. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Grand Princess keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 13 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 13-night sailing is a strong place to start.
