South Pacific: Tasmania and Adelaide Cruise
Royal Caribbean®
Gaze upon the Sydney Opera House as you embark on your journey of Australia and get to know its different sides, from vibrant, modern cities to wild, untamed wilderness. In Adelaide, you'll find an up-and-coming metropolis surrounded by opportunities for outdoor adventure. Hobart, on the other hand, is rich in colonial history, as evidenced by the harbor town's architecture, and is the perfect place to enjoy a traditional meat pie.

Overview
Sydney is Australia's largest and most cosmopolitan city and is the capital of New South Wales, the most heavily populated state of Australia. Sydney is situated on one of the world's most beautiful and famous harbours. Sydney also boasts beautiful beaches, fantastic shops, restaurants, history and culture. Sydney's many highlights include the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Centrepoint Tower, The Rocks, the stunning harbour and the white sands of Bondi, Manly and beyond. Sydney is also home to beautiful National Parks, the Royal Botanic Gardens, many harbour front picnic locations and heritage areas.
Overview
Adelaide is the Capital of South Australia. It is famous being one of Australia's primary wine centers, with more than 60% of Australian wine being produced within 3 hours of the city. Adelaide is situated on a flat corridor of land between Gulf St Vincent and the Mount Lofty Ranges. In Adelaide nature thrives; from safe beaches to vibrant hills and vineyards. Walk back into the past along Adelaide's North Terrace where great colonial buildings hold the city's cultural foundations. Adelaide is a captivating blend of Mediterranean and Australian lifestyles with abundant shopping, restaurants and culture. The Adelaide Hills along the eastern border are also known as the Mount Lofty Ranges. Just a 20 minute drive east of Adelaide city, the Mt Lofty and Light's Vision Lookouts offer great views. The hills and Fleurieu Peninsula are the great garden and orchard areas of South Australia. The southern coastline bustles and the bays of Gulf St Vincent are safe for swimming. Much of the charm of the hills and coastal regions comes from its preserved heritage. One of the most visited towns in the hills, historic Hahndorf, retains the atmosphere of its German settlers. The Hahndorf Academy is a museum, art gallery and heritage centre.
Overview
Hobart is Australia's southernmost capital city and the country's second oldest. The fact that it is also the smallest is a key to its particular charm. A riverside city with a busy harbour, its mountain backdrop offers fine views over the compact suburbs below. Its beautiful Georgian buildings (even the harbourside warehouses are picturesque), relaxed atmosphere, numerous parks and attractive homes make Hobart one of the most enjoyable and engaging of Australia's cities.Hobart is in the south-east of the state, in the middle of a series of islands and peninsulas that surround Storm Bay. It lies at the foot of Mt Wellington, and is approached from the north by the Tasman bridge and highway. Queen's Domain and the botanical gardens feed into the grid of the central business area, which is just minutes away from the wharves that line Sullivans Cove. The waterfront area is the focus for the city's events and the location of most tourist attractions. South from here is Sandy Bay, the site of Hobart's university and the Wrest Point Hotel Casino.The airport is in Hobart's eastern suburbs, 16km (10mi) from the city centre. Buses leave from the Transit Centre, to the west of the city centre, and from Hobart Coaches, right in the city. Accommodation in Hobart ranges from backpackers' hostels and quaint but sometimes expensive B&Bs and guesthouses, to harbourside pubs and four-star hotels. Because of the city's tiny proportions, it's possible to stay conveniently close to the city's attractions and food outlets. The main areas for budget accommodation are the city centre and the older suburbs to the north and west. Middle and upper-end accommodation is spread all over town.
