Tasman Tides – Hobart, Adelaide & Melbourne

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 14 nights from Sydney on December 20, 2026, visiting Phillip Island, Melbourne and Burnie, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The distances are huge, which makes the sea days feel earned, and the ports feel worth it. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Noordam has 7 dining spots on board, most of them included. 14 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. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
