Discover Australia Holidays 

Australian Holidays - The Sydney Opera House

Enjoy this great southern land as Cook did - by sea.

Sometimes the best adventures are right in your own backyard. It helps if your backyard is the largest island and its own continent as well. Add a rich cultural history and the friendliest locals in the Southern Hemisphere and you've got the recipe for the perfect Australian holiday.

Head north to the tropics to experience the magic of Brisbane, Cairns and the Great Barrier, or south to the rugged isle of Tassie and Hobart. Go west to exquisite destinations perched between wilderness and the sea. Soak up the beauty of The Kimberley and Broome or Barossa's world-renowned wines in Adelaide. You'll find indigenous culture, unique wildlife, scenic golf courses, fantastic sightseeing and so much more. Australia has the perfect mix of excitement and awe-inspiring natural beauty.

P&O Cruises offers a number of short break and longer cruises departing near you.  Match the itinerary of your dreams to the shore tours offered to create your own ideal Australian holiday.
