Luxury Cruises to England

Set sail along the famous English coastline to some of Europe's oldest, most fabled ports on cruises to England with Celebrity. You'll visit timeless cultural heritage sites throughout cities and towns steeped in hundreds, and even thousands of years of history. Tour craggy castles, opulent palaces, and majestic cathedrals. Stroll along medieval lanes in quaint English villages. Sip afternoon tea with scones and cream, or stroll along the top of windswept cliffs.

On England cruises, you'll depart from the seaside city of Southampton, gateway to England's South Coast. Visit the picturesque port of Dover, known for the iconic White Cliffs. Explore the northern port of Liverpool, with a fine maritime and music heritage. Before your cruise, spend a day in London, visiting the sights: the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Soho, and Trafalgar Square. No matter which cruise to England you choose, you'll enjoy Celebrity's stylish and luxurious onboard experience. 

England Cruise Highlights

Serene countryside.

England’s countryside ranges from the rolling soft greens of the south to the mountains and rugged shorelines of North Wales. From Dover, you can’t miss the famous, chalky White Cliffs. Stroll along the top, taking in views across the English Channel to France and enjoying the breeze. If you have time in Southampton before or after your cruise, head out to the New Forest, a wooded National Park, known for its wild ponies.

Cosmopolitan Cities

Explore urban life on your cruise to England. See the sights in London, the buzzing capital, packed with galleries, museums, and world-class shopping. Learn about Liverpool’s maritime history and admire its regenerated waterfront. Beatles fans will, of course, want to take a tour and learn about the band’s beginnings. Soccer followers won’t be disappointed, either; Liverpool F.C, and rivals Manchester United and Manchester City are all based in the north, with stadium tours on offer.

Centuries of History

History dates back thousands of years in England. Visit the neolithic stone circle of Stonehenge, established an astonishing 5,000 years ago. Fast forward to London and the often grisly history associated with the famous Tower of London, or admire graceful Canterbury Cathedral, all gothic spires and soaring interiors, on a day trip from Dover. Discover the serene old city of Winchester from Southampton, or wander around Roman-built Chester, all half-timbered houses and cobbled streets.

Bali visa hack you need to know about

Bali visa hack you need to know about

Given the disruptions to air travel, i’m wondering if there are any cruise ships that sail from australia to the uk in a direct route.

I wish I had good news for you but sadly, the days of getting a quick(ish) freighter across the seas are well and truly behind us.

Up until the pandemic, there was an option to cruise with Maris Freighter Cruises but the multi-stop voyage took just under 100 days – a fact that makes a little airline disruption and cost seem the far more preferable option. Of course, if you don’t mind spending some 200 days on a return cruise, they plan to be back up and running once the worst of Covid-19 is behind us.

Cunard's Queen Mary 2 takes 42 nights to sail from Sydney to London.

Some cruise lines offer Australia-to-England voyages, but they’re not what you would call inexpensive or direct. Cunard has a 53-night cruise on the Queen Victoria  departing Sydney for Southampton on March 1, 2023, which takes plenty of scenic stops including Manila, Singapore, Colombo, Dubai, Naples and Lisbon. This one’s priced from $13,499 a person.

A slightly shorter one (42 nights) on Cunard’s  Queen Mary 2  departs Sydney on March 12, 2023, and makes its way to Southampton via Melbourne, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island and Busselton before popping in at Port Louis, Le Port, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Walvis Bay and Tenerife. Prices start from $9999.

Outside that, your only other option would be to get a cruise to a preferred destination in Far East Asia and then hop along the rail networks (including the fabled Trans-Siberian Railway) until you get to England. It’s as far from “direct route” as you can get, but, oh, what a journey.

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 humour 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.

Australia Tasmania Islands and National Parks

BE TANTALISED 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.

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 prawns allowed.

Australian Classic Steak and Frites

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 specialities 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.

Australian Biscuits

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 favourite brand of chocolate-covered biscuits.

Australian Meat Pies

IT'S PIE TIME

Meat pies – with a flaky pastry crust baked around a savoury filling of ground meat (typically beef or lamb) and spices – are a traditional Australian lunch or snack found in bakeries across the country. Another favourite 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.

Cruises from the UK to New Zealand often call at North Island. Picturesque Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty was discovered by the Maori in the 13th-century. Tauranga translates as ‘the place of rest of anchorage’. It has grown over the years, with the Strand Waterfront a popular attraction due to its lively cafes, pubs and restaurants. Another popular port of call on the North Island is Auckland, overlooked by the iconic Sky Tower. It offers outstanding food, wine and shopping, as well as countless opportunities to embrace nature. In the west is dense rainforest, to the east are golden beaches, and the north is where you’ll find the rolling hills of wine country.

One of Australia’s highlights, and indeed a highlight of an Australia cruise from the UK is Sydney, capital of New South Wales. It is best known for Opera House, a masterpiece of 20th-century architecture, but there is so much more to the city. Discover stunning Bondi Beach or enjoy the views from Sydney Harbour Bridge. Melbourne and Adelaide also have a lot to offer. Melbourne’s mix of world-class dining, art galleries and shopping make it an exciting city to explore, while Adelaide is home to renowned museums including the Art Gallery of South Australia and the South Australian Museum.

Train travel UK & Ireland...

Train travel in europe..., train travel in asia..., train travel in africa..., train travel in america..., train travel in australasia, europe to australia without flying....

It's a long way to Oz.  There are two options to get there from the UK without flying:

Option 1, Europe to Australia via the Trans-Siberian Railway .  You can travel by train from London to Moscow, then by Trans-Siberian Railway to China & the Far East, then catch a passenger-carrying freighter (if you can find one!) or cruise ship to Australia.  This is a real adventure, and a popular choice with lots to see on the way.  Not currently feasible because of the war in Ukraine & Russia being off limits .

Option 2, Europe to Australia by sea .  You can go all the way from the UK to Australia or New Zealand by sea, either a leisurely direct voyage by infrequent round-the-world cruise, or by one of the few remaining passenger-carrying freighters, sometimes with the need to switch ships in either the USA or SE Asia.  Expect Europe to Australia by sea to take at least 32-40 days and cost at least £4,000+ one-way by freighter including cabin & meals, much more if you use a cruise.

This page outlines the journey and how to go about putting such a trip together, with links to other pages for more detailed information about each part of the journey.  Please remember this is not a tour or a package, just some guidance in putting your own independent trip together using scheduled train services across Europe and Asia.

Europe to Australia by sea

By freighter or cruise ship.

If you'd been going to Australia in the first half of the 20th century, you could have caught the fortnightly P&O liner from Southampton to Sydney, taking several weeks.  These days there are no regular passenger ships from the UK or Europe to Australia, and your choice is limited to one of these, if currently operating:

There are occasional round-the-world cruises from Europe to Australia, stopping at various places on the way.  Some sail westward around the world via the Panama Canal, others sail eastwards via either the Suez Canal or South Africa and the Cape of Good Hope.  This is the most comfortable but expensive option.

There are freighters which take a limited number of passengers although they are now getting very thin on the ground.  There are a mere handful of direct Europe-Australia freighters which carry a few passengers, or there are freighters from Europe to SE Asia where you can change onto another freighter or a cruise ship from SE Asia to Australia.

You can take the Queen Mary 2 from Europe to New York (or use a passenger-carrying freighter), take a train from coast to coast across the United States , then take a passenger-carrying freighter to Australia from the Pacific seaboard of the USA. 

To find out more, and to book a cruise or freighter passage to Australia, try the following sites:

Europe to Australia by Trans-Siberian Railway

Overland to the far east by train.

It's possible to travel most of the way from London to Australia by train via the Trans-Siberian Railway.  In fact, quite a number people travel this way.  Time-wise, we're talking 4-5 weeks one-way, minimum.  But it's a journey of a lifetime.

Update 2024:  There is a war in Ukraine, travel to Russia is inadvisable, there are currently no international trains to Moscow and no Moscow-Beijing trains.

Route, timetable & costs

Travel tickets alone costs only £750 or so from London as far as Singapore, but you must add food, hotels, and tours along the way.  The links below cover travel in either direction, from London to Australia or Australia to London, follow the links to see details of prices and timetables for each section.

Step 1:  London to Moscow by train .  Daily departures taking 2 nights.  Spend at least 1 night in Moscow.

Step 2:  Moscow to Beijing by Trans-Siberian Railway   Two direct trains every week each taking 6 nights.  Spend at least 1 night in Beijing.

Step 3:  Beijing to Hanoi by train A train runs twice a week taking 2 nights, or you can travel any day with a change of train at Nanning.  Spend at least 1 night in Hanoi.

Step 4:  Hanoi to Saigon by train   Several trains daily, 2 nights.  Why not stop off to see Hue or Hoi An?  Spend at least 1 night in Saigon.

Step 5:  Saigon-Phnom Penh by bus Daily, 1 day.  Spend at least 1 night in PP.

Step 6:  Phnom Penh-Bangkok by bus to the border at Poiphet, then local train from Aranyaprathet to Bangkok .

Step 7:  Bangkok to Singapore by train .  Daily, 2 nights.

Step 8:  The final sea voyage from Asia to Australia is the problem:

You can get from Singapore as far as Bali in Indonesia by scheduled ferry, train, ferry & bus using the ferries from Singapore to Jakarta , see the Indonesia page .  But there are no regular passenger ships to Australia from Singapore or Indonesia or anywhere in the Far East .  And don't bother trying to island hop down to Dili in East Timor, it may look the closest land to Darwin, but there are absolutely no ferries of any kind from there to Australia.

You therefore need an infrequent passenger-carrying freighter for the last leg from Southeast Asia to Australia.  There are one or two Asia-Australia freighters that will carry passengers.  They have very very few passenger places and get booked up, so book early.  Freighter travel is not cheap, with limited places in high demand.  Also bear in mind that schedules can change according to freight requirements, a ship can easily leave a day or two earlier than originally scheduled, so build in plenty of leeway!

Option 1 , shipping company CMA CGM have freight ships which carry a limited number of passengers between Port Klang in Malaysia & Fremantle near Perth in Australia every 46 days or so.  The voyage takes 7-10 days and costs around €1,300 for one person in a private cabin with meals included.  CMA CGM also have ships between Singapore & Brisbane roughly once a month taking 14 days.  Contact them directly via their website, www.voyagesencargo.com .  Various agencies can also book this freighter route for you, presumably with an added fee or mark-up, such as thecruisepeople.wordpress.com & www.traveltips.com .

Option 2 , try German agency www.slowtravel-experience.com who can offer infrequent sailings between Singapore & Fremantle near Perth on the ship MOL Guardian .

Option 3 , try Swiss company www.globoship.ch .  They have twice-monthly freighter sailings from Singapore to Fremantle (Perth) taking 7 days.  Their website is in German, so use Google language tools to translate it.  They also have a monthly Singapore-Melbourne freighter taking 15 days.

Feedback on freighter booking & travel would be appreciated.

How to plan & arrange this trip

There aren't any travel agencies who can arrange the whole trip from Europe to Australia, so you will need to plan and arrange each stage of the journey yourself.  It's an exercise in project management, and I use a simple spreadsheet technique like this to plan an itinerary and budget.  Unless time is absolutely no object, you should book the key sections in advance through various travel agencies, for example, book London-Moscow as shown on the London to Russia page , then book Moscow-Beijing & Beijing-Hanoi through a local Russian agency such as www.realrussia.co.uk or Svezhy Veter.  You also need to pre-book the freighter from Asia to Australia, as places are limited.  Tickets for other parts of the trip, for example, Hanoi-Saigon-Phnom Penh-Bangkok can all be bought locally, as you go along.  The place to start is the sea section from Asia to Australia, as that will determine the dates for the rest of the trip.

You'll need to pre-arrange visas for Belarus, Russia, possibly Mongolia, China & Vietnam.  Cambodian visas can be obtained at the frontier.  In many ways, complying with the various visa requirements (and in some cases, requirements for confirmed onward tickets to be held) is actually the biggest hassle, not buying the tickets for the trains, so check this out carefully using the relevant embassy websites.

So where do you start?

First, read through the seat61 pages linked above, as these explain the options for each stage of the journey.

Then sketch out your itinerary using a simple spreadsheet like this , deciding where and for how long you want to stop off.

Next, check out the visa situation for each country.

Finally, follow the advice on each seat61 page to buy tickets for each train journey that you want to pre-book.

9 of the best small ship cruises to Australia

Published 14th June 2022 in Cruise Advice By Tom O'Hara

True North in the Kimberley, one of the best small ship cruises to Australia

  • Share on Twitter

After two long years, Australia's ban on foreign cruise ships entering its waters finally expired in April, meaning that this fantastically diverse country is now firmly back on the cruising map. For those who already had Australia on their bucket list, the prolonged closure of the country's borders has only added to a sense that this is a trip to be prioritised over all others.

Of course, it's a long old way from the UK, so you will want to make the most of your visit. A small ship cruise is a great way to see Australia, with pretty much all of the main attractions situated on or near the coast, although the vastness of this continent-sized country means you'll need to think carefully about which region you want to explore.

The east coast is the most popular area to focus on, with highlights including the wonderful cities of Sydney and Melbourne, the spectacular Great Barrier Reef and the wineries of the Hunter Valley. Itineraries also often include the fascinating island of Tasmania or exotic Indonesia, and may combine the east coast of Australia with neighbouring New Zealand.

Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Cruises exploring the more sparsely populated west of the country are rarer, with easy-going Perth a highlight. Expedition ships focus mainly on the north coast, and in particular the rugged Kimberley region, with its otherworldly geology, rich marine life and aboriginal rock art. If you have a month or more to spare, look out for the occasional itineraries that make a full circumnavigation of the country, the ultimate Australian adventure!

There are plenty of options to choose from, depending on the style and length of cruise you're looking for, and which parts of the country you want to see. It's also worth carefully considering embarkation and disembarkation ports, as you may wish to spend a few extra days in one of the big east coast cities, or add on a trip to the Red Centre and magnificent Uluru. To help you with your search, here is our pick of the best small ship cruise lines visiting Australia:

1. Silversea

Silversea have an extensive Australia programme, with the 596-guest Silver Muse and the 388-guest Silver Whisper both wintering Down Under. Sailings that catch the eye include Muse's 27-night voyage from Melbourne to Cairns departing 16 January 2023 (a back-to-back voyage combining Melbourne to Auckland with Auckland to Cairns), which includes Tasmania, a week in New Zealand and the highlights of the east coast. For a more intrepid adventure, summer 2023 sees the 144-guest expedition ship Silver Explorer sail her final season in the Kimberley before leaving the Silversea fleet.

Silver Muse in Sydney, Australia

2. Oceania Cruises

Oceania's Regatta is a lovely size at 684 guests, and offers some fantastic Australia itineraries, including much sought-after full circumnavigations. The December 2022 circumnavigation is already sold out, so act now if you want to secure your place on the 2023 edition, a 35-night sailing round-trip from Sydney on 21 December 2023 , with highlights including an overnight call in Perth, the little penguins of Phillip Island and three calls in Tasmania.

Little penguins on Phillip Island, Australia

3. Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent's generous all-inclusive offering make them a great choice for an Australia cruise, with even your shore excursions included, and voyages sell out fast. There is still good availability on the luxurious 732-guest Seven Seas Explorer sailing from Bali to Sydney on 5 December 2023 , visiting the Indonesian islands of Lombok and Komodo before crossing the Timor Sea to Darwin then on to the east coast. The 482-guest Seven Seas Navigator makes a similar journey in reverse in March 2024 , sailing from Auckland to Bali.

Regent Seven Seas Explorer - Regent Suite balcony

Australian company Scenic's second 'discovery yacht', the 228-guest Scenic Eclipse II, launches next year, and in 2024 she will visit Scenic's home waters for the first time with a series of expedition-style voyages. Scenic's programme focuses on the Kimberley region, but do take a look at the unusual 28 April 2024 voyage between Cairns and Darwin, which combines the vibrant marine ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef with the intriguing indigenous culture of the Torres Strait Islands and the wild beauty of the Cobourg Peninsula.

Scenic Eclipse - Hanging chairs

French cruise line Ponant operates a number of more unusual Australian itineraries on its fleet of stylish yachts. Beach lovers should check out the 7 December 2022 voyage from Cairns to Sydney, a 9-night island-hopping escape on board the 184-guest Le Lapérouse that has been designed specifically for travellers in search of unspoilt desert islands and turquoise lagoons. Another eye-catching option is the 23 December 2022 circumnavigation of Tasmania, sailing round-trip from Hobart and timed to coincide with the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Availability for this cruise is already very limited, but there are still a few suites available at the time of writing.

Azamara offer some interesting Australia options, with a number of 'Australia Intensive' voyages sailing along the south coast calling at Adelaide, Kangaroo Island and Busselton, gateway to the Margaret River wine region. The 13-night Sydney to Perth voyage departing on 6 February 2023 offers particularly good value for money, with a Club Balcony Stateroom on the 686-guest Azamara Quest from just £3,009 person cruise only.

Kangaroo Island, Australia

7. Seabourn

Seabourn's fleet of contemporary small ships offer plenty of choice in Australia, including some nice options focused on the south coast and longer sailings combining Australia with South East Asia, New Zealand or the islands of the South Pacific. For something truly extraordinary, take a look at the 52-night voyage from Lyttleton to Cairns in January 2024 on Seabourn's new expedition ship, the 264-guest Seabourn Venture. This incredible adventure takes you down to Antarctica's remote Ross Sea, ticks off some of the highlights of New Zealand, then visits Tasmania before sailing up the east coast of Australia, including five full days exploring the Great Barrier Reef.

Beach on Fraser Island, Australia

8. Windstar Cruises

Windstar's Star Breeze is one of three Star Class yachts to have recently been 'stretched', adding new restaurants, staterooms and public space, though the ship is still petite at 312 guests. This winter she will be based in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, and we particularly like the look of her 25 January 2023 cruise from Melbourne to Bali. This 23-night voyage includes Sydney, the Great Barrier Reef and the protected marine reserve of Triton Bay in West Papua, home to species ranging from pygmy seahorses to mighty whale sharks.

9. True North Adventure Cruises

With just one tiny 36-guest vessel, the eponymous True North, this specialist Australian company focuses on in-depth itineraries in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, providing guests with an unmatched opportunity to get off the beaten track and discover an amazing and remote part of the world. Their programme includes voyages to the Kimberley, the spectacular Rowley Shoals, northern Australia's 'Top End', the islands and reefs of the west coast, and short 4-night cruises to Rottnest Island, home of possibly the world's cutest animal, the quokka!

Cargo passenger ships UK to Australia

Cargo passenger ships UK to Australia

Cargo passenger ships UK to Australia. Except this isn’t exactly tourism as we know it. Going on a freight cruise is probably the most little-known See More , secret and off-beat form of travel there is today to Cargo passenger ships UK to Australia. On any cargo ship voyage, there will rarely be more than ten other paying travellers on board (the maximum they can afford to accommodate); on average there might be about four or five you, but very often for passenger ships UK to Australia, you can be the only one for Cargo passenger ships UK. There are around 30,000 large oceangoing ships in the world but only about 1% of those carry both cargo and passengers for passenger ships UK to Australia See More . That 1% will either be a freighter or a mail/ supply ship, the latter usually doing routes to isolated coastal communities and distant islands in Cargo passenger ships as Cargo passenger.

Cargo passenger ships UK to Australia

Timing and planning however, is something that shouldn’t be of the upmost concern if you’re considering a freight cruise . This unusual style of voyage serves travellers that aren’t on a tight schedule for Cargo passenger ships UK. If you want to get really off-the-grid and travel to the far ends of the earth, which I’m guessing you do since you’re still reading, sailing itineraries can range from two weeks to 100 days in duration about Cargo passenger ships UK to Australia, depending where you board. Ships can also face delays, occasionally arrive in port at night or decide to bypass a port at the last minute See More . But alright, you want to know what the digs are like; what is life like traveling on a cargo ship ? As you might expect, accommodation comes without the frills as Cargo passenger, but passenger cabins on a cargo ship are large and more spacious than cabins on your average cruise ship. Beds and furnishings are functional and pleasant enough, but far from fancy in Cargo passenger ships . Located on the upper decks, you get private bathrooms, air conditioning, possibly a small refrigerator, TV, window views that may or may not be obstructed by the odd shipping container . Some freight ships have swimming pools, but there are no casinos aboard and no glitzy evening shows on offer. In fact, there’s not supposed to be any organised activities at all, except for mealtimes. This is a working ship and you’re along for the ride. Officers and crew are typically friendly and welcome a new face but they’re hired to run the ship, not entertain passengers. On the gastronomic front, no two cargo ships are the same and menus can vary from Gallic grub to spicy Filipino dishes, depending on the chef’s nationality See More . Mealtimes are shared with the captain and crew in the communal dining room, but on occasion, the crew might roast fish, or even a pig out on deck for passenger ships UK to Australia. After dinner, there’s no one pressuring you to participate in the evening’s organised activities. It’s up to you to mix your own scotch and soda, take it out on your cabin deck and watch the sun go down. The trade-off for the lack of amenities on a freight cruise is a high degree of privacy.
