Cruises From Sydney, Australia 2024

The world’s best cruises for 2024

N ew Year’s resolutions to embark on a new diet or make use of that expensive gym subscription are so dull it’s little wonder they fall by the wayside within weeks. But a promise to do something really different when it comes to holidaying on the high seas? Now that is a resolution worth keeping. And with so much going on in the world of cruising , this is certainly the year to do it. 

There are sparkling new ocean and river ships to discover, voyages for families, sybarites and wine lovers, and adventures to exotic lands where few have ever set foot. You can go diving with sharks, celebrate Thanksgiving in the home of jazz, learn about the night sky with astronomers, and practise yoga under the Adriatic sun – there’s something for every type of cruise fanatic. And if you’re yet to catch the bug? With so much to choose from, it’s only a matter of time.

Here are the best voyages on offer in 2024.

Africa and the Indian Ocean

• Europe and the Mediterranean 

Cruise the Kimberley

Good news for Seabourn fans who shiver at the thought of a cruise to the South Pole; its ultra-luxury expedition ship Pursuit is going in search of heat, saltwater crocodiles and ancient rock art on its debut in the Kimberley. The Waterfalls and Wandjinas adventure takes you through the remote region, which is more than three times the size of England but home to barely 40,000 people. Sailings between Broome and Darwin depart from June to August and promise to thrill with a visit to Horizontal Falls, taking in reefs that seem to rise from the ocean and optional helicopter rides over the rainforest.

Book it: Seabourn offers the 10-night Waterfalls and Wandjinas adventure from £7,799pp. 

Have a whale of a time

Small ship specialist Coral Expeditions has teamed up with the Australian Geographic Society for a Whales and Trails of Western Australia expedition, which pairs wineries, coastal walks, wildflowers and the white sands of Lucky Bay with (hopefully) sightings of migratory humpback, southern right and blue whales. Expect daily lectures on board and swim and snorkel stops in quiet bays. The cruise, from Fremantle to Esperance and back, sets sail aboard the 120-passenger Coral Adventurer.

Book it: Coral Expeditions offers the 10-night Whales and Trails of Western Australia expedition from £4,805pp; departs October 5.

Expedition to the South Pole

Adventurous souls can follow in the footsteps of Australian explorer and scientist Sir Douglas Mawson on an epic 25-day expedition Scenic voyage to the eastern side of Antarctica next winter. Travel in the lap of luxury aboard Scenic Eclipse – a discovery yacht – with no more than 200 other passengers. The cruise starts in Milford Sound, New Zealand, and ends in Hobart, Tasmania. Spend 10 days exploring the icy wastes of the White Continent that hundreds of thousands of penguins call home.

Book it: Scenic offers the 25-day Mawson’s Antarctica: Along the East Coast from £23,700pp; departs December 15. Learn more about Antarctica with our expert guide.

Affordable Antarctica

Cruising to Antarctica might be thrilling, but the price tag can be enough to give you the chills. Princess Cruises’ new 17-night voyages from Buenos Aires won’t break the bank but includes four days’ scenic cruising in the White Continent. True you can’t step ashore – that’s only allowed if ships have 500 passengers or less – but you’ll see loads of penguins and, with luck, whales. Once Antarctica is ticked off the list, Sapphire Princess heads to Stanley for a day in the Falkland Islands.

Book it: Princess Cruises offers the 17-day Antarctica cruise from £1,699pp; departs December 1 and 18.

Sail the eclectic Indian Ocean

If Dubai’s city of superlatives doesn’t impress, giant tortoises in the Seychelles surely will. Norwegian Cruise Line’s 14-day voyage from Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, to Doha in Qatar is a cornucopia of contrasts, pairing Middle Eastern culture in the United Arab Emirate of Abu Dhabi and Muscat in Oman with rainforests and volcanoes in Reunion, lemur spotting in Nosy Be in Madagascar, and high-energy rock shows on the 2,340-passenger Norwegian Dawn.

Book it: Norwegian Cruise Line offers the 14-day Seychelles, Madagascar, Oman and UAE cruise from £1,289pp; departs ​December 8.

After canceling its 2024-25 season in Australia and New Zealand, Virgin Voyage’s s introducing a new winter program in the Caribbean.
