WONDERS DOWN UNDER
Australian cruises.
From urban verve to outback wilderness, Australia is a year-round sunny paradise.
A large island nation, Australia delivers the best of both the city and the country, the beach and the bush. The locals here are a laidback and friendly bunch, with a dry sense of humor and their own slang language. Explore cosmopolitan Sydney, home to Bondi Beach's turquoise waters and the architecturally unique Sydney Opera House. Cruise to Australia and visit Queensland to experience the Whitsunday Islands, where you can snorkel to see the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest living organism. For an authentic Australian adventure, head to the outback: Check out Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, with its red dome known as Ayers Rock.

Join the throngs of sun-kissed Australian surfers and catch some of the world's best waves on Australia's beaches.
SWOON OVER SYDNEY
Visit Australia and tour Sydney's urban attractions like the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Taronga Zoo. For outdoor fun, nap on the white sands of Bondi Beach or scale the magnificent rock formations of the Blue Mountains.
MEET MELBOURNE
Melbourne is a hipster haven and Australia's culture, coffee and sports capital. Grab a flat black (the Australian version of an Americano, with espresso and hot water) at Patricia on Little Bourke Street, then rent a car and start off on the Great Ocean Road, which will take you along sweeping views of Australia's southern coast.
HEAD TO THE OUTBACK
In the remote Northern Territory, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park: See the famous dome-shaped red rock rising out of the Central Australian Desert. Or check out Kakadu National Park, where you can see ancient rock art at Nourlangie or hike to the hidden waterfalls at Motor Car, Twin or Jim Jim Falls.
TOWN AND COUNTRY
Get to know the different sides of Australia, from vibrant, modern cities to wild, untamed wilderness.
KING AMONG REEFS
Snorkel, dive and swim along the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef — you can even charter a glass-bottomed boat to stay dry while seeing the only living organism visible from outer space. The reef is accessible from places like Cairns, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Port Douglas in Queensland.
In Queensland, take a day trip to the surrounding tropical islands: Check out Fitzroy Island and its National Park, where you can laze on the white sands of the coral beach or go bird-watching for for emerald doves and white-bellied sea eagles. See the colored sands at postcard-perfect Fraser Island, or explore the wild island state of Tasmania during your vacation.
PICK A BEACH
Explore Western Australia's Cape Le Grand National Park, which offers stunning coastline set against rolling heathlands filled with kangaroos. Check out Queensland's Gold Coast, where you'll find local favorite Nobby Beach (known colloquially as "Nobby's"). Or get lost in Tasmania's Freycinet National Park, where pink granite cliffs overlook white-sand beaches and clear blue waves.
EXPEDITIONS DOWN UNDER SAY "G'DAY" TO AN OUTBACK ADVENTURE
Choose your Australian vacation adventure: Relax on a tropical island or one of thousands of beaches, hike in a remote national park or venture into the vibrant city.
SAMPLE SYDNEY
A sampler cruise from Sydney is a great way to experience both Australia's biggest city and an exciting cruise.
BE TANTALIZED BY TASMANIA
Tasmania is an underrated Australian state that's home to Cradle Mountain, the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site and the eccentric Museum of Old and New Art among other things to do.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Arriving in Australia
The best time to visit Australia depends on where you want to go. The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland and the Northern Territory are best explored during dry season (May to September), while summer is the optimal time to visit southern states like Victoria and Tasmania.
Weather-wise, northern Australia enjoys an endless summer, but it does get cold in Victoria and Tasmania during winter. Meanwhile, Melbourne is known for displaying four seasons in one day, so always have a jacket and umbrella on hand, just in case.

10 Best Things To Do in Australia
From Melbourne to Sydney to iconic animal experiences and world-class wine regions, here are the 10 best things to do in Australia.
A Guide to Australian Beaches
Discover the best Australian beaches for families, wildlife spotting, lounging, learning how to surf and diving into authentic beach culture.
In northern Australia, be aware that stingers (dangerous jellyfish) swarm the seas in the summer, from approximately October to March.
Tipping is not customary in Australia.
The universal phone number for taxi services across the country is 131008.
HOW TO DINE DOWN UNDER
"Fair dinkum" — Aussie slang for "authentic" or "genuine" — Australian cuisine has been influenced by England, New Zealand and even Italy. However, there's nothing more Australian than throwing some steak and snags (sausages) on a barbie (barbecue) — no shrimps allowed.
POPULAR PUB GRUB
There are two dishes to order at an Aussie pub: a chicken parmigiana (called a parmi Down Under) or a burger, which will usually come topped with Australian specialties like beetroot or pineapple. Of course, you can always go for a classic steaks: Porterhouses are popular in Victoria, while rump steaks are particularly beloved in New South Wales.
THE REAL BISCUIT
Australia has some delicious sweet treats, but it's perhaps best-known for perfecting the biscuit. Try Anzac biscuits with oats and golden syrup, lamingtons — a sponge square covered in chocolate and coconut — and Tim Tams, the local favorite brand of chocolate-covered biscuits.
IT'S PIE TIME
Meat pies — with a flaky pastry crust baked around a savory filling of ground meat (typically beef or lamb) and spices — are a traditional Australian lunch or snack found in bakeries across the country. Another favorite is the Chiko Roll, similar to a large spring roll but filled with the signature Aussie ingredients of mutton, celery, barley, rice, carrots and spices.
Related Ports
The Australian coast is dotted with beautiful ports, like Esperance, to explore. In Queensland, Cairns and Airlie Beach are both gateways to the Great Barrier Reef. Meanwhile, Darwin is a gateway to the Northern Territory's rugged natural sights, including Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, and Uluru.

March Cruises
Your perfect spring getaway awaits
From the enchanting islands of the Caribbean to the sun-drenched Mexican Riviera, you’ll find irresistible cruises in March with itineraries for every taste. Celebrity’s thoughtfully crafted voyages can take you to the ends of the earth, exploring the stark beauty and vast landscapes of Patagonia, at the very tip of South America, or around New Zealand’s verdant coastline, visiting historic towns and rolling wine country.
Or perhaps your dream is to explore the isolated Galapagos Islands, home to spectacular wildlife. No matter where you cruise, you’ll find intuitive service, fine dining, and innovative design onboard each one of our luxury ships.
Itineraries
Top march cruise destinations, the caribbean.
There’s nothing that says spring break quite like the Caribbean. If it’s a shorter vacation you’re looking for, sail to Key West and Cozumel on a five-night Western Caribbean cruise. To explore further afield, head to the Southern Caribbean on a 12-night cruise and immerse yourself in the culture of seven different islands. Snorkel through crystal-clear water, bask on white sand beaches, savor fresh seafood, and sink into the rhythm of the islands.
Discover the raw beauty of wild Patagonia, a landscape of jagged, snow-capped mountains and lichen-draped forests. From Ushuaia, spot sea lions basking on the rocks of the Beagle Channel, or hike the vast landscapes of Tierra del Fuego National Park. Observe thousands of Magellanic penguins on Magdalena Island, near Punta Arenas, or spend a day on an estancia to learn about the life of a Patagonian farmhand, followed by a feast of slow-grilled lamb and Chilean wine.
The Galapagos
Explore the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Galapagos Islands on a seven-night March cruise, enjoying the style and comfort that only Celebrity can provide. Start your adventure in Quito before flying to the islands. Explore the red sand beaches of Rabida, swim among wild sea lions, hike volcanic trails and admire jagged landscapes and creatures found only in this remote archipelago. March is the perfect time to book a Galapagos cruise, and Celebrity’s ships are specifically designed for expeditions to this group of pristine islands.
Mexican Riviera
Set sail on one of Celebrity’s luxurious ships for the spring sunshine of Cabo San Lucas, where desert and mountains meet the Pacific. This is the perfect place for thrilling off-road adventures, gorgeous beaches, and fiery sunsets. Further south, wander through Mazatlan’s colorful old center. Hike to El Faro lighthouse for dramatic views, or join a salsa-making class. Explore the countryside around Puerto Vallarta on horseback before enjoying a traditional Mexican lunch and tequila tasting.
Discover New Zealand’s lush scenery, from the snow-draped peaks of the Southern Alps to Fiordland National Park, where mountains plunge straight into the aquamarine sea. Explore the art deco charm of Napier and Dunedin’s grand Victorian architecture and Scottish heritage. Immerse yourself in Wellington’s coffee culture. Cycle through the serene Marlborough region and taste legendary wines, or join a guided hike, listening to birdsong.
