Where do Tasmania cruises from Australia go?

The large majority of these sailings are concentrated in Australia and the Australia and New Zealand region, with a further group focused on New Zealand alone. A handful of itineraries extend further into South East Asia, and there is a small selection of transpacific crossings for those looking to make the voyage a major journey. That spread means there is a Tasmanian itinerary to suit almost every appetite — a short hop around the southern coast or a longer voyage taking in multiple countries in a single trip.

Which ports do Tasmania cruises depart from?

The overwhelming majority of sailings on these pages depart from Sydney, making it the natural starting point for most Australian cruisers. If you live in Sydney you can board with no flight at all; if you are travelling from another state, it is a short domestic hop — far less effort than a long-haul flight. Brisbane and Melbourne also appear as embarkation ports, as does Cairns and Perth (Fremantle). Whatever your home city, there is likely a departure point within reach.

A significant number of these sailings are one-way voyages — more than half of all itineraries — so you may board in one Australian city and disembark in another, or finish in Auckland. On a one-way itinerary, the voyage ends at the far port and a short domestic flight connects you home; our team can arrange that return leg as part of a Cruise1st Package.

Which cruise lines sail to Tasmania?

Princess Cruises leads the field here, with the largest number of sailings available. Celebrity Cruises follows closely, offering a strong mix of itineraries that appeal to those after a premium-contemporary experience. Luxury and ultra-luxury lines make up much of the rest of the range: Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea Cruises, and Seabourn all sail to Tasmania on these itineraries. Holland America Line rounds out the main options with a classic, destination-focused style of cruising that suits longer voyages well.

What are the ships like on these itineraries?

The ships sailing to Tasmania span a wide range of sizes and styles, from large premium vessels to intimate ultra-luxury yachts. Here is a closer look at some of the ships you will find on these sailings.

Seabourn Quest

With just 450 guests aboard, Seabourn Quest delivers a near 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio and an all-suite, all-balcony layout where every suite comes with its own private balcony, butler service and all fine wines and spirits included. The Seabourn Square social hub replaces the traditional cruise desk with an open, café-style lounge at the heart of the ship — the kind of detail that tells you this is a different kind of cruising. The largest accommodation aboard is the Grand Wintergarden Suite at approximately 115 m², sleeping up to 4 guests.

Silver Moon

Silversea’s Silver Moon includes a personal butler with every cabin, and its all-inclusive fare covers butler-serviced suites, exceptional dining, unlimited wines and spirits, gratuities and Wi-Fi as standard. For those looking for the most generous space aboard, the Grand Suite (G2 two-bedroom) spans 174 m² with separate sleeping, living and working areas, sleeping up to 6 guests.

Celebrity Edge

Celebrity Edge is a ship built around the idea that the boundary between inside and outside should not exist. The Magic Carpet — the world’s first cantilevered floating platform — glides 16 storeys up the ship’s hull to serve as a bar, restaurant or dive deck depending on the moment. Infinite Veranda staterooms open the entire balcony wall to merge indoor comfort with fresh ocean air. The cabin range aboard Celebrity Edge runs from compact to truly palatial:

• Deluxe Inside (DI) — 18.8 m², sleeping up to 4, around 2 m² more spacious than a standard inside cabin
• Deluxe Ocean View (DO) — 22.1 m², sleeping up to 4, the most spacious ocean-view grade on the ship
• Sunset Veranda Stateroom (SV) — 21.2 m², sleeping up to 4, with the largest balcony of all standard balcony cabins at approximately 8.3 m²
• Iconic Suite (IC) — 239.8 m², sleeping up to 6, with a private hot tub and 270° panoramic views from the highest position above the bridge — the largest suite in the entire Celebrity fleet

Royal Princess

The Royal Princess features the SeaWalk, an 18-metre glass-bottomed walkway that hovers 40 metres above the ocean — one of the most striking structural features afloat. MedallionClass® OceanNow® on-demand delivery lets you order food and drinks to wherever you happen to be on the ship via the Princess app. Crown Grill and Sabatini’s handle specialty dining, and the 24-hour International Café keeps food available around the clock.

The Spice H2O adults-only open-air beach club gives the ship a distinctly different atmosphere on deck, while specialty dining includes Onda by Scarpetta modern Italian and Cagney’s Steakhouse. The Stardust Theatre stages nightly productions for those who like their evenings at sea to involve a proper show. Check the Norwegian Spirit cabins and deck plans for the full layout.

Westerdam

Westerdam sails for Holland America Line and suits travellers who prefer a more traditional, destination-led style of cruising. View the Westerdam cabins and deck plans for the cabin range.

Seven Seas Mariner

Seven Seas Mariner sails for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, whose all-inclusive fares are among the most comprehensive available — covering meals, drinks, excursions and flights in many fare types. See the Seven Seas Mariner cabins and deck plans for details.

Azamara Pursuit

Azamara Pursuit is a smaller, destination-intensive ship operated by Azamara, known for longer stays in port and late-night departures that let you experience a destination after dark. View the Azamara Pursuit cabins and deck plans for the full cabin breakdown.

What do the fares include?

The level of inclusions varies considerably by cruise line, and it is one of the most important things to compare before you book.

Princess Cruises offers several fare tiers. The base Princess Standard fare covers the cruise itself, with drinks, Wi-Fi and dining extras available to add. The Princess Plus tier bundles 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to A$15 each (with a daily limit of 15 drinks), MedallionNet® Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating.

Celebrity Cruises gives you a choice between a best-rate fare — where you select your own extras — and an All Inclusive fare that bundles a classic drinks package with basic Wi-Fi in one price. The Retreat tier, for suite guests, adds premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, exclusive lounge and sundeck access, and private dining at Luminae.

Silversea takes a fully all-inclusive approach: butler-serviced suites, exceptional dining, unlimited wines and spirits, gratuities and Wi-Fi are all included in the standard fare. An enhanced tier adds shore excursion credits and a fully refundable deposit.

Are there deals and discounts on Tasmania cruises?

A good share of these sailings carry a reduced fare — with discounts measured against the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing. The maximum reduction on a single departure reaches up to 36%, though that applies to one sailing; most reduced fares sit around 8% off. Fare types such as early-saver offers and last-minute reductions come and go, so it is worth checking regularly or asking our team what is current. Cruise1st’s Best Price Guarantee means that if you find the same sailing cheaper elsewhere after booking, we will match it.

How long are Tasmania cruises from Australia?

Durations range from 4 nights for the shortest sailings up to 80 nights for the longest extended voyages, with a median voyage length of 14 nights. A 14-night sailing is long enough to take in Tasmania alongside other Australian or New Zealand ports at a comfortable pace. If you are thinking about a longer journey — perhaps cruising around Australia or even a round-the-world voyage from Australia — there are itineraries here that make a Tasmanian call part of a much bigger adventure.

Planning your trip: ports, connections and packages

Sydney is the hub for these sailings, but wherever you are based in Australia, getting to your embarkation port is a domestic journey rather than a long-haul flight. If you are departing from Brisbane or Melbourne, the port is likely your home city or a short drive away. For those flying into Sydney from interstate, we can add a pre-cruise hotel night, airport transfers and travel insurance to your booking so everything is arranged in advance.

On one-way itineraries finishing in Auckland or another Australian city, the return leg is a domestic or short-haul flight — and we can book that as part of a Cruise1st Package rather than leaving it as something to sort out separately.

If you are thinking about an Easter sailing from Sydney, or planning around a specific time of year, our team can match your dates to what is available and find the cabin grade and fare tier that suits your budget.

Other Australian cruise options worth exploring

If you are weighing up Tasmania alongside other Australian destinations, there are several related pages that might help. Tasmania cruises from Sydney narrows the options to that single departure port.

For something further afield, cruises from Australia to Hawaii and transpacific sailings extend the journey considerably.

South Pacific cruises from Sydney and Brisbane

Some Tasmania itineraries connect into broader South Pacific routing. If you are interested in sailings that combine Tasmania with wider Pacific destinations, our South Pacific cruises from Sydney in 2027 page is a useful next step, as is the Papua New Guinea cruises from Australia page for itineraries heading further north.

Where a discount is shown, it is a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing, not a comparison between cabin grades or against a brochure rate. Discounts and prices shown are not kept up to date: the reduction available now may be smaller, or may have ended, and prices may have changed.
