Luxury Expeditions to Australasia & South Pacific

From Australia’s terracotta terrain to the paradisiacal South Pacific, these intoxicating expedition cruises take you closer to iconic landscapes, cultures and wildlife than ever before. Towering waterfalls, vibrant coral reefs, fascinating local tribes: Australian expeditions and South Pacific sailings are voyages of untold discovery.

As unforgettable as it is unforgiving, this country offers cruise passengers immersive insights into its history and natural heritage. Explore 40,000 years of aboriginal history through The Kimberley’s ancient rock art, discover fascinating local cultures and learn about their unique crafts and customs. Then, sail to Australia’s green and pleasant heartland: varied habitats made up of rich forests and thundering waterfalls. Journey through the Hunter River’s mangrove forest in search of saltwater crocodiles as ospreys soar overhead.

In the South Pacific, you will find exquisite vistas to rival those of Australia’s expansive coral reefs and lagoons. These islands of colour and character are paradise on Earth: nurturing tribes and cultures untouched by modern life.

What to Expect on an Expedition Cruise to Australasia & South Pacific

Australia cruises and South Pacific cruises take place on-board two cruise lines: Silversea and Scenic Ocean. Silversea brings Silver Cloud, Silver Explorer and Silver Wind, each of which explore remote archipelagos and untamed landscapes while offering the comfort and indulgence of a boutique hotel. Meanwhile, Scenic Ocean brings the discovery yacht Scenic Eclipse for expedition-style cruising in ultra-luxurious settings.

Everything on-board these luxury cruise ships is designed to completely immerse you in Australia and the South Pacific. All ocean-view suites and ocean-view restaurants mean there are panoramic views at every turn, while the ships’ expansive decks are the perfect place to relax with a book or keep your eyes peeled for whales and dolphins. During the evening, the relaxation continues with continental and regional fine dining, plus fascinating talks with respected naturalists, scientists and photographers who boast a wealth of experience in the South Pacific region.
