I'm going to Australia next Aug for a wedding, but also want to see a few other places that i haven't visited before on my previous 2 trips. I was thinking of maybe doing a cruise out of Sydney for about a week, and was wondering if anyone knew of any websites that i can look at to get an idea of places and prices. I did have one i found about a month ago, but like an idiot, i didn't save the link and i've tried to google it but can't find it!

Mum and Dad did a Princess cruise - Australia and New Zealand, started in Sydney, they loved it although said it was pretty cold - they went in January!, have a look at their website, also P&O Australia, I would have thought if you googled cruise Australia you would get information.

It was cold in Jan? That's their summer, i was there this Jan, and i was roasting, high 90s the majority of the time. I am expecting it to be cold when i go though, as i'm going in their winter. I will have a look at Princess cruises, i looked on P&O last night but couldn't find anything for the dates i am going.

Cunard go out of Australia too... one of our friends does Security for them! If you look at Cruise.co.uk I think you will find some on there as I get their 'deals' brochure sent to me and they are always featured on it. If you go with them ask for Mike ~ he got us a great deal on our Cruise! x
Royal Caribbean do some pretty cheap cruises around Australia. Onboard the Legend I think? ( as do Celebrity cruises)

I know, but they went south to Tasmania and did the south Island of NZ which was cold then went up to the North Island which was lovely.
Even when they visited my cousin north of sydney they said it was a nice day but not HOT
Holland America also cruise Australia and New Zealand. www.hollandamerica.com
Also try vacationstogo.com and mycruisevalue.com/v3/index.asp for quotes. These are US brokers so you would be booking independently and would be responsible for making all other arrangements. It isn't possible to book with Princess using these companies as Princess will only allow UK passengers to book with UK companies, so that they can keep their prices higher.
