Australia 

The Sydney Opera House

Enjoy this great southern land as Cook did - by sea.

Sometimes the best adventures are right in your own backyard. It helps if your backyard is the largest island and its own continent as well. Add a rich cultural history and the friendliest locals in the Southern Hemisphere and you've got the recipe for the perfect holiday.

Head north to the tropics to experience the magic of the Great Barrier Reef, or south to the rugged isle of Tassie. Go west to exquisite destinations perched between wilderness and the sea. Soak up Darwin's World War II history or the Barossa's world-renowned wines. You'll find indigenous culture, unique wildlife, scenic golf courses, fantastic sightseeing and so much more. Australia has the perfect mix of excitement and awe-inspiring natural beauty.

P&O Cruises offers a number of short break and longer cruises departing near you.  Match the itinerary of your dreams to the shore tours offered to create your own ideal holiday.

Ports of Call in Australia

Adelaide

Since the first governor proclaimed a new settlement from under a gum tree in 1836, Adelaide has come on in leaps and bounds. Perhaps the most significant arrivals, at least in terms of current prosperity, were the central European immigrants who brought wine making skills to the Barossa Valley – a visit is highly recommended! Adelaide itself has much to recommend it including the cathedrals of St Peter and St Francis Xavier and the fine cultural centre.
