Marvelous Melbourne to Sunny Sydney

8-NIGHT ROUND-TRIP SAILING FROM MELBOURNE

A whale-watcher’s paradise in Eden

This eight-night sailing from Melbourne to Burnie, Eden, and Sydney introduces travelers to Australia's laid-back coastal culture as well as the colonial-era architecture of Tasmania. Overnighting in Sydney is a rare opportunity to see the city for more than just its famous opera house. Make sure to check out its museums, a craft brewery, and climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge for an epic view.
