Princess Cruises to Australia - On Top of the Game Down Under
October 18, 2005
So you've cruised the Caribbean, Bermuda, the Mexican Riviera, even Western Europe and the Mediterranean—all amazing destinations in their own right. But now you're searching for another area on the map to add to your list of globe trotting adventures. So for your next cruise, why not travel to a destination that pretty much offers it all—from tuxedo and evening dress nights to sandy walkabouts along the beach. I'm talking about Australia and the greater South Pacific, and Princess cruises Australia like no other cruise line in the world.
Pacific Princess will offer more destinations during the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons than any other cruise ship. The Pacific cruises to Australia range from eight to 28 nights and embark upon 40 different ports of call, giving passengers countless chances to experience life Australian style.
Pacific Princess cruises Australia with distinction. She's a small ship as far as cruise ships go; only 670 passengers sail on her at a time. But what she lacks in size, she more than makes up for in the intensity of her voyages. This Princess Cruises perfectly combines onboard luxury with adventurous cruising. "Pacific Princess is a beautiful, elegant and spacious ship where passengers can be assured they will be pampered and spoiled in the manner they deserve," states Gavin Smith, the managing director of Princess Cruises in Australia.
Pacific Princess cruises Australia with four intimate restaurants, eight bars and lounges, a "care-less" spa, a ship-top pool and jacuzzis, and private balconies gracing more than two thirds of cabins. Plus, with one crew member for every two passengers, the utmost in personal service is guaranteed.
Guests can be pampered on any of the 22 departures Princess cruises from Australia's famous city of Sydney between December 18, 2005 and April 11, 2007. Many of the cruises are combined with land packages that really give you a chance to see some of what Sydney and Australia's outback have to offer.
Guests can take in a show at the Sydney Opera House or visit the famous Ayers Rock and mysterious domes at Uluru National Park. Besides seeing some of the natural and man-made attractions, a guest can learn about the Aborigines' storied past. (Where else can you squeeze in 40,000 years of history before you even leave on your cruise?)
Once one of your Pacific Cruises to Australia does set sail, you could be on one of 12 South Pacific trips, 5 voyages to New Zealand, 2 to Queensland, 1 to Tasmania, or 2 special circumnavigations of Australia.
Princess cruises from Australia on four 13-night trips to the beautiful and tranquil island of Fiji, as well as cruises to exotic far-flung ports such as Pentecost Island, one of a string of islands that make up the majestic Vanuatu archipelago. Pacific Princess guests will also stop in the South Pacific's newest cruise port, Ouvea, in New Caledonia's Loyalty Islands, which lie between Vanuatu and Queensland, Australia.
In fact, guests can make their Pacific Cruises experience to New Caledonia and Vanuatu even more unique with a 10-night Christmas cruise sailing on December 18, 2005 or a 12-night New Year's cruise departing December 28, 2005.
