Overview

Australia is one of those places people talk about visiting for years before they actually go. This is your chance to finally do it — and to do it well.

On March 2–13, 2027, we're sailing an 11-night Great Barrier Reef cruise on Celebrity Cruises, departing and returning to Sydney. Along the way, we'll call on Newcastle, Airlie Beach, Cairns (Yorkeys Knob), and Port Douglas — a front-row seat to some of Australia's most extraordinary coastline, including the Great Barrier Reef itself.

This is a group trip organized through Escape The Nest Travel, which means you get the benefit of traveling with people you know alongside all the service and planning that comes with having a dedicated travel advisor in your corner. Accommodations, dining, entertainment, and most amenities are all included on board Celebrity.

Whether you're looking to snorkel the reef, explore the Daintree rainforest from Port Douglas, or simply enjoy the fact that someone else is handling the logistics, this trip delivers.

Spots are limited. If you're interested in joining us, fill out the form below and we'll be in touch with everything you need to know.
