Melbourne to Tasmania (& Back)

5-NIGHT ROUND-TRIP SAILING FROM MELBOURNE

Burnie: Bountiful bush-walks, iridescent waters & a penchant for penguins.

This 5-night Melbourne experience begins in one of our most exciting port cities where you can explore Federation Square, get lost in its sprawling botanical gardens, or grab a pint and a bite to eat from its eclectic food scene before spending a day of reinvigorating comfort on board on your way to the capital city of Tasmania. Then enjoy one more self-care sea day on your way back to Melbourne.

Hassle-free embarkation

Pre-upload your travel docs to the Virgin Voyages app, get Ready to Sail before leaving home, and make boarding a (sea)breeze in just a few minutes.
