Perth, the vibrant showpiece of Western Australia, sets the scene for a four-night stay that includes a day tour to the pristine shores of Rottnest Island. From here, board the Grand Princess in Fremantle — the ideal departure point for 17 nights cruising the dramatic Western Australian and Kimberley coastlines.
Along the way, you’ll spend a day exploring Broome, the historic pearling capital, before arriving in tropical Darwin. Cairns and Brisbane offer further fascinating ports of call before your voyage draws to a close in Sydney. Throughout your journey, the Grand Princess — a well-appointed 4-star ship — offers plenty to keep you entertained on days at sea.
