Benoa (Bali) to Melbourne, 26 November 2028

Cruise overview

Bid farewell to the beaches of Bali as we make our way towards Rinca Island, famous for its large population of wild Komodo dragons. In Kupang, take a refreshing dip in the natural subterranean pool of Crystal Cave, before a day at sea brings us to Australia and to Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory, where you can gallery hop, explore outdoor markets, or – if you’re feeling brave – encounter enormous saltwater crocodiles. With two days at sea, enjoy Crystal Symphony’s outstanding onboard offerings – Michelin-caliber dining, world-class entertainment, and sumptuous spa treatments, to name a few – before we reach Queensland. In Cooktown, learn about the Aboriginal Dreamtime and see ancient rock art; in Cairns, discover the underwater marvels of the Great Barrier Reef; and in Airlie Beach, bask on impossibly soft sands and swim in topaz waters. More time at sea brings us down to Sydney, to admire landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge, before we reach our final destination, the coffee capital Melbourne.
