  1. Day 1

    Fremantle, Australia

    Fremantle is Perth’s historic port, where Victorian streets meet the Indian Ocean. Visit 19th-century Fremantle Prison, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, then explore the West End’s limestone buildings. Fishing Boat Harbour serves fresh seafood beside working vessels. The Western Australian Maritime Museum tells the story of the state’s seafaring past. Perth is just 30 minutes away by train, making Fremantle an easy gateway to the city and coast.

  2. Day 2

    Busselton WA, Australia

    Busselton gives you two good reasons to linger: Geographe Bay’s calm, clear water and its historic jetty. The 1.8-kilometre Busselton Jetty is among the world’s longest timber-piled jetties; a small train runs to its underwater observatory. Inland, the Margaret River wine region offers cellar doors, fine food and forested roads. Busselton makes an inviting base for exploring southwest Western Australia.

  3. Day 4

    Albany WA, Australia

    Albany sits on King George Sound, where the Southern Ocean meets a coast of granite headlands and sheltered bays. Western Australia’s first European settlement, founded in 1826, retains a handsome historic centre and a working harbour. At the National Anzac Centre, exhibits trace the departure of Australian and New Zealand troops in 1914. Beyond town, Torndirrup National Park brings you close to The Gap and Natural Bridge, where waves hammer the cliffs.

  4. Day 7

    Kangaroo Island, Australia

    Step ashore at Penneshaw and discover an island where wildlife remains part of daily life. Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third-largest island, with rugged coast, eucalyptus forests and open farmland. At Seal Bay, guided walks bring you close to a breeding colony of Australian sea lions. Flinders Chase National Park rewards the drive west with Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. Leave time for local honey, seafood and wines, and watch for koalas and kangaroos along the road.

  5. Day 8

    Adelaide, Australia

    Adelaide pairs a polished city centre with easy access to South Australia’s celebrated wine country. Outer Harbor, the cruise terminal, lies about 20 kilometres from central Adelaide. A train connects the area with the city. Explore the Central Market, North Terrace’s museums and galleries, or the broad encircling parklands. Glenelg’s beachside cafés and the vineyards of the Barossa Valley make rewarding excursions beyond town.

  6. Day 10

    Melbourne, Australia

    Melbourne is a city best explored with curiosity, a good appetite and comfortable walking shoes. From Station Pier, the centre is roughly six kilometres away, with tram and taxi connections into town. Explore its arcades and laneways, lined with shops, espresso bars and street art, then visit the National Gallery of Victoria. At Queen Victoria Market, browse local produce and Australian specialties; along the Yarra, find restaurants and skyline views.

  7. Day 13

    Sydney, Australia

    From the water, Sydney’s harbour frames the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and ferries crossing between historic quays. Beyond the waterfront, central Sydney pairs nineteenth-century buildings with contemporary architecture and leafy streets. Walk the Royal Botanic Garden for harbour views, or take a ferry to Manly for a coastal perspective. Allow time to explore The Rocks, where the city’s colonial beginnings meet galleries, cafés and a lively weekend market.

  8. Day 18

    Waiheke Island NZ

    Waiheke Island is a 40-minute ferry ride from Auckland, but its vineyards and quiet bays feel far from the city. The island pairs acclaimed wineries with olive groves, beaches and coastal walking tracks overlooking the Hauraki Gulf. Taste Syrah and Bordeaux-style blends at a cellar door, then explore Oneroa’s galleries, cafés and village shops. Allow time for the winding roads; distances can take longer than the map suggests.

  9. Day 18

    Auckland

    Few cities bring water so close to daily life as Auckland. Set between the Waitematā and Manukau harbours, New Zealand’s largest city is shaped by the sea. From the waterfront, ferries reach Waiheke Island, with vineyards, beaches and coastal walks. Climb volcanic Maungawhau, or Mount Eden, for sweeping views across the city and its harbours. Back downtown, Viaduct Harbour offers galleries, restaurants and a vivid sense of Auckland’s maritime life.
