12-night Southern Australia Explorer Cruise

Renown for its seafood, mild temperatures and the large, peaceful Boston Bay it rests within, Port Lincoln is ideally located with a wide variety of shopping, dining and outdoor activities. Venture to taste the regional wines at the Boston Bay Winery or the Delacolline Estate Wines, or visit the Nautilus Theatre, where the old Civil Hall complex has been renovated to house two art galleries and a theatre. Get out on the water along Eyre Peninsula with stand up paddle-boarding or kite-boarding lessons, or take the kids to the Glen Forest Park, featuring mini-golf, petting zoos, snack shops and picnic areas. Retreat from town along the Investigator Walking Trail, which snakes along the coastline of the Eyre Peninsula to inhale the fresh sea breeze, unwind at the Roseview Gardens - two acres of flora and fauna to explore and tea rooms to relax in -, or drive up to the Winters Hill Lookout up the Flinders Highway to catch amazing views of the bay, Boston Island and Port Lincoln.

Port Arthur is a popular tourist resort on the Tasman Peninsula south-east of Hobart, Australia and is based around a huge restored penal settlement that was established in 1830 and in service until 1877. It was named after Sir George Arthur, the lieutenant-governor of the colony, who selected the virtually escape-proof site for the main Tasmanian prison, surrounded by shark-infested seas with well-guarded entrances to the peninsula.
