From Alaska to New Zealand |
Stunning Milford Sound in the far south of New Zealand is a part of the world that appears at first glance to be too beautiful to be true.
The Kimberley, a remote and harsh environment tucked away in the northwest of the country, offers guests not only a wide-eyed venture into an untouched wilderness, but also a key slice of the nation's history.
While traditional marquee ports of call hold strong, such as Venice, Athens, Istanbul and Monte Carlo, new destinations are emerging to fill the growing need for something a little different; the Balearic Islands in Spain, Tunis in Tunisia, Limassol in Cyprus and Sarande in Albania.
As Silver Shadow enters Sydney Heads from the Tasman, one of the most famous harbours in the world stretches before us. Sailing boats and ferries create a lively aquatic landscape in the early morning light, leaving no one in any doubt why Sydney is regularly voted one of the top ports of call in the world by cruise passengers.
Glamorous and diverse, much of the Mediterranean is best explored as our ancestors did, by ship, and the region remains a perennial favourite among cruise fans.
Cruising Asia also offers diverse experiences, from cultural to leisure. Want to improve your golf swing? It can be arranged on one of Singapore's beautiful golf courses. Love wide open spaces? Visit Kuala Lumpur's famous Lake Gardens adorned with butterflies, exotic orchids, and rare hibiscus. Want to try something really different? Hop in a long-tail boat for a breathtaking ride over Phuket's shimmering waters. Pictured.
Giants of the Caribbean ... the two biggest cruise ships in the world, Allure of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas (pictured), cruise the Caribbean.
Travelling north from Vancouver, Seattle and San Francisco, hundreds of cruise ships ply the waters of Alaska's famed Inside Passage between May and early September each year. Pictured: the Coral Princess.
