Sapphire Coast Dash – Eden & Newcastle
About this cruise
Book 4 days off from December 2, 2027 and this cruise from Sydney will do the rest, taking you to Eden, Newcastle and Brisbane and back. Disembarkation is in Brisbane. You're in port almost every day, so pack shoes you can actually walk in. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Brisbane, Sunshine State's laid-back river city. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Grand Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
