Tasman Sea Explorer – Hobart & Kangaroo Island

About this cruise

A 11-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Sydney on December 12, 2026 and visits Hobart, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island and Melbourne. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Sydney Opera House one day, Milford Sound's fjords another. The Antipodes reward the long flight. Of the stops, Melbourne tends to be the one people talk about: Culture, coffee, and laneway art. Around 13 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Spirit keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Sydney before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
