Sips & Sails: Australia’s Ultimate Wine Voyage

Set sail from the iconic harbour city of Sydney, where the adventure begins against the glittering backdrop of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. After boarding and sailing late afternoon, you’ll quickly settle into life on board a ship that’s as stylish and modern as the destinations you’ll visit.

At sea days intersperse the journey, offering luxurious relaxation and indulgence. Enjoy world-class dining across multiple restaurants, sip fine wines or cocktails on deck as the ocean horizon stretches endlessly, catch live entertainment, or unwind at the spa and pool areas — there’s a sense of calm and sophistication in every corner of the ship.

First port, Hobart (Tasmania), invites you to explore rugged coastal beauty, historic waterfront streets, and vibrant markets. Sample local produce or join optional excursions like scenic flights or heritage tours that showcase Tasmania’s unique culture and landscapes.

Back to sea, take time to relax, discover new areas of the ship like the panoramic Edge Staterooms with their innovative verandas, or simply take in uninterrupted views from the Magic Carpet — a dramatic floating platform extending from the ship’s side.

Kangaroo Island is your next natural playground — wildlife, pristine beaches, and dramatic coastlines define this serene stop. Encounter native kangaroos and sea lions, explore Flinders Chase National Park’s iconic rock formations, or sample local honey and artisan produce.

Adelaide adds a delightful wine-centric chapter to your voyage. Known as one of Australia’s most elegant cities, it also sits near world-renowned vineyards. Here you can sip Rieslings and Shiraz in the cool Adelaide Hills, join tastings at boutique wineries, or wander in city parks and cultural precincts.

Another refreshing sea day keeps the pace relaxed before arriving in Melbourne — Australia’s cultural capital. Enjoy its eclectic neighborhoods, world-class dining, vibrant street art, and theatres. Optional tours might take you to nearby wildlife sanctuaries or along the breathtaking Great Ocean Road.

Your final day at sea gives one last chance to savour shipboard life — whether lounging with a book, attending a show, or toasting the sunset with new friends — before returning to Sydney in the early morning.

Overall, this cruise blends luxury and relaxation with curated exploration of Australia’s southern coastal highlights, peppered with opportunities to enjoy local wines, rich natural beauty, and world-class hospitality — all from the comfort and style of Celebrity Edge.
