Tasmanian Discovery – Burnie & Kangaroo Island

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 11-night sailing leaves Sydney on April 12, 2028 and visits Burnie, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide and Melbourne. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Sydney, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. People come back from this cruise talking about Adelaide: South Australia's festival city of wine and art. Roughly 14 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Spirit, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 11 nights. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Sydney itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 4 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
