A fresh holiday perspective

Aboard a P&O Cruise, you'll discover a whole new world right on your doorstep. We'll guide you through some of the most spectacular destinations in Australia and New Zealand, from world-famous sights to some of our best-kept secrets. See Australia's white sand beaches in Far North Queensland, snorkel over shipwrecks at Tangalooma Moreton Island, or cruise amongst the snow-capped mountains and glassy waters of Milford Sound in New Zealand.

Discover tropical paradise in your own backyard

Stay close to home but feel a million miles away in picturesque Far North Queensland. Cruise to the stunning towns of Cairns, Port Douglas or Airlie Beach for an idyllic holiday amongst turquoise waters, white sand beaches and swaying palm trees. Read your book by the pool, explore local markets and sample freshly caught local seafood. Or, take a leisurely snorkel beneath the waves to marvel at the spectacular sea life on the Great Barrier Reef Discovery cruise.

Explore the very best bits of Tasmania

With stunning forests, dramatic cliffs and stunning coastline, Tasmania is a one-of-a-kind destination. On a P&O Taste of Tasmania cruise, you’ll discover the rich history, natural wonders and unique quirks of the region. Breathe in the cleanest air in the world, say hello to a Tasmanian Devil, and sample award winning food and wine on this unforgettable travel experience, just a hop skip and a jump away from mainland Australia.

Experience Maori Culture

With the North and South Islands to explore, New Zealand is a land teeming with natural beauty, as well as several UNESCO World Heritage sites to admire.

Whether you love outdoor adventures, tranquil lakes, local gourmet food, rich culture or cosmopolitan cities, this beautiful country has something for everyone.
