Southern Star Chart – Sydney, Hobart & Melbourne

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 12 nights from Brisbane on January 19, 2028, visiting Sydney, Eden, Melbourne, Hobart, Port Arthur and Newcastle. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 6 stops with a breather between each one. The distances are huge, which makes the sea days feel earned, and the ports feel worth it. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Grand Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. 12 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. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
