Cruise Itinerary Highlights
Itinerary Overview
Melbourne โ Adelaide โ Albany โ Margaret River (Busselton) โ Perth (Fremantle) โ Broome โ Yampi Sound โ Kimberley Coast โ Darwin โ Cairns โ Willis Island โ Brisbane โ Sydney
- Scenic Cruising: Yampi Sound, Kimberley Coast
- No. of Ports: 9
- Sea Days: 13
Broome
| Cable Beach is the obvious drawcard, but Broome has more going on than that. The pearling heritage is woven into everything here, from the lugger-lined harbour to Chinatown’s corrugated iron shopfronts. A camel ride along the beach at low tide is the kind of thing that sounds touristy until you’re actually doing it. |
Yampi Sound
| Yampi Sound sits at the northern end of the Buccaneer Archipelago and is not somewhere you can simply drive to. The tidal range here is among the largest in the world, which makes the landscape constantly shifting. Tendering ashore feels genuinely remote in a way that’s rare on a mainstream sailing. |
Kimberley Coast
| The Kimberley from the water is a different experience entirely to flying over it. Ancient sandstone gorges drop straight into the sea, and the coastline changes colour through the day as the light shifts. This is the stretch of the itinerary most people will talk about when they get home. |
Darwin
| Darwin has its own pace and it’s nothing like the southern capitals. The WWII history here is substantial, and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory is worth a few hours for its Indigenous art collection alone. If the Mindil Beach Sunset Market is running, it’s an easy walk from the city. |
Cairns
| Cairns is the practical gateway to the outer Great Barrier Reef, and a port day here is long enough to get out to the reef and back comfortably. The city itself is a lovely relaxing stroll. The Daintree is also within reach if you’d rather spend the day in the rainforest than on the water. |

Grand Princess – Ship Overview
Grand Princess is a well-established ship in the Princess fleet, carrying around 2,600 passengers with enough space that it rarely feels crowded. She’s a comfortable, familiar kind of ship that suits a long itinerary well.
Dining
| The main dining rooms cover the classics done properly, with sit-down service and a menu that rotates through the voyage. For something more specific, Crown Grill handles steaks and seafood, and Sabatini’s covers Italian. On a sailing this long, having a few different options to rotate through makes a real difference. |
Entertainment
| The Princess Theatre runs production shows most evenings, and Movies Under the Stars screens films on the pool deck after dark. There’s also a casino, live music across several bars, and enough going on that you won’t find yourself staring at the ocean wondering what to do. Which, on a 24-night sailing, matters. |
Wellness
| The Lotus Spa covers massages, facials and hair, with a thermal suite available separately. The fitness centre is well equipped for a ship this size and open early, which suits people who like to get a session in before the day’s port call. There are also multiple pools and a hot tub or two for something less structured |
Grand Princess Cabins
On a 24-night sailing, your cabin matters more than it would on a short getaway. Grand Princess offers the full range from interior rooms through to suites, and the step up to a balcony is worth considering seriously on an itinerary where you’ll be passing the Kimberley coast. Waking up to that scenery from your own private space is hard to put a price on.
