A whopping 41 cruise ships from CLIA member cruise lines will grace Australian waters this summer, including eight vessels making their maiden visit.
Between them, the ships will make almost 900 calls to ports around Australia over that period – up 10% on last year’s port calls numbers and more than half of the vessels will operate return cruises from our shores.
The first international ship call will be on 08 Oct when Celebrity Solstice returns to Sydney.
Highlights include Maasdam’s arrival on 20 Oct, Ovation of the Seas into Fremantle on 06 Dec and the Aussie debut of Seabourn Encore in Darwin on 22 Jan.
