Southern Gale Drift – Hobart, Sydney & Eden

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from October 14, 2027. This one's 12 nights from Adelaide, and the route visits Hobart, Port Arthur, Sydney, Eden and Melbourne. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Big cities, reef snorkelling, and New Zealand's green mountains. Genuinely varied. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Grand Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
