Question

I am thinking of going to Sydney but the long flight puts me off. I love cruising and would very much like to know if I could cruise to Sydney and back with a stop over of about 3 or 4 weeks. Is this possible thank you

Answer 1

I did a search on vacationstogo.com and found that there were only 3 cruises that leave from London (Southampton), England and visit Sydney, Australia.  The cruises are long and also visit many other ports as well.  

The first one that I found was on January 6, 2009 for 77 days on Fred. Olsen Cruise Line's Black Watch.  the cheapest inside is $14,618, the cheapest oceanview is $16,959, the cheapest balcony is $23,005, and the cheapest suite is $27,293, all based on double occupancy.  

The cruise leaves from London (Southampton), England, has 4 days at sea and then goes to Las Palmas, Grand Canary Island, Canary Islands , then has 6 days at seas then stops at Antigua, then has one day at sea and stops at Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, Santa Marta, Colombia, Colon, Panama, and Panama Canal (Full Transit), and then has 8 days at sea then stops at Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, then has 2 days at sea then goes to Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia and Moorea, French Polynesia then has one day at sea and goes to Rarotonga, Cook Islands, then you have 3 days at sea and then stop at Nuku'alofa, Tonga, then you have one day at sea and then go to Suva, Fiji then have another day at sea and go to Noumea, New Caledonia then have one day at sea and go to Brisbane, Australia and then have one day at sea and then go to Sydney, Australia for 3 days and then have one day at sea and then go to Burnie, Tasmania, Australia and Melbourne, Australia then have one day at sea and then go to Adelaide, Australia then have 2 days at sea and go to Albany, Australia then go to Perth (Fremantle), Australia  and have 7 days at sea then go to Port Louis, Mauritius and St. Denis then have 3 days at sea and then go to Maputo, Mozambique and Durban, South Africa then have 2 days at sea and then arrive at Cape Town, South Africa and disembark.

The second one that I found leaves from London (Southampton), England although you desembark in Sydney, Australia.  I won't give you all of the details to this cruise, but here is the link if you'd like to take a look at it:

The third one that i found was a cruise that leaves from London (Southampton), England and you disembark at that same port.  It is long, 97 days and leaves on January 6, 2009 on Fred. Olsen Cruise Line's Black Watch.  There are no inside cabins left available, but the cheapest oceanview is $19,475, the cheapest balcony is $26,485, and the cheapest suite is $31,464, all based on double occupancy.  Currently on the site, it says if you book you get a FREE $1,900 per cabin shipboard credit. the cruise stops at many other places, but stops at Sydney, Australia for 3 days and stops at several other places in Australia as well.  Here is a link to this cruise:

To book your cruise I obviously reccomend booking through vacationstogo.com for they have excellent deals/savings and most of their cruises involve gaining onboard credit just for booking through them.

I understand that not all these cruises weren't exactly what you were looking for, but this is the closest that they currently have available.

If you open up the vacationstogo.com page and the cruise itenerary does not come up, all you have to do is fill in your last name and email in order to view the page.  It's not a big deal at all, and if need be after viewing the itenerary you could always disable your email address.

I hope that this helped and if you have any further questions at all feel free to send me a message!!! Good luck!!!! =)

Go to cruisecritics.com and see what they say or iBtraveling.com to compare some cruise deals.  I'm sure you'll enjoy the cruise no matter which one you get to go on.  Have fun!

Answer 3

You can go from :Southampton to Sydney January 2, 2009 - February 19, 2009 on the Queen Victoria for 48 days.

see(http://www.cunardline.com.au)

Returning 3-4 weeks later is not possible with the same company (Cunard). You may be able to find one with a another company.

or

Consider finding a cruise from sydney 1/2way to southhampton, eg Sydney - LA, so the air flight is not as long
