Ocean Discovery – Willis Island, Yorkeys Knob & Airlie Beach
About this cruise
6 nights, 3 ports, all from Brisbane on December 4, 2027. The route visits Willis Island, Yorkeys Knob and Airlie Beach and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Big cities, reef snorkelling, and New Zealand's green mountains. Genuinely varied. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. When you're not ashore, Ovation Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 16 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Brisbane has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
