Discover Australia with ultimate cruising
Camels trekking on vast stretches of deserted beach at sunset, scorched, sunburnt canyons and plunging, tumultuous waterfalls … tropical rainforests alive with the harmonious songs of resplendent birdlife, impossibly perfect white sand beaches and vivid marine gardens with coral all the shades of an artist’s palette … cities that never sleep, mountains that beg to be discovered and vineyards you’ll never want to leave… this is Australia!
Discover the ancient rock art in the Kimberley, the mind-blowing Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef or explore the beautiful islands of the Queensland coast. Whether you want a relaxing, swim and snorkel type holiday, an activity-filled adventure or a combination of both, Australia has something to suit everyone.
