Red Dust Horizon – Broome & Darwin

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 22-night sailing from Adelaide on March 8, 2028 visits Albany, Busselton and Fremantle, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand. The sailing ends in Sydney. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The distances are huge, which makes the sea days feel earned, and the ports feel worth it. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Grand Princess has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. 22 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 spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 22-night sailing is a strong place to start.
