Melbourne to Hobart (and back)

5-night round-trip sailing from Melbourne

Where historic elegance meets curious creatures

Setting sail from the gentle beachy vibes of Port Phillip gives way to a stunning emerald bay that quickly transforms into sapphire waves sweeping the Bass Strait en route to Tasmania. With an overnight stay in Hobart, you'll have time to dive into the whimsical wonders that make the island's southern capital glow from every angle — and at every hour.
