Southern Cross – Bali & Sydney

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Singapore on March 26, 2026 and visits Benoa, Darwin, Port Douglas, Yorkeys Knob, Airlie Beach and Sydney. You wind up in Sydney, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. Airlie Beach stands out. It's Gateway to the Whitsunday Islands. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Solstice has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
