About the itinerary 

Day 1-2 – Get your holiday started with a flight from Sydney to the cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong on the southern coast of China. You'll spend the first two nights of your trip here, giving you the opportunity to explore its many well-known attractions. Highlights include the impressive traditional temples and museums, over 60 Michelin-starred restaurants, and a tram ride up to Victoria Peak for unmatched city views.

Day 3 – It's time to board your cruise on Queen Anne as you prepare for an epic 18-night journey from Hong Kong to Sydney.

Day 4-5 – Cruising

Day 6 – Today you'll arrive in the port of Manila, the beautiful capital of the Philippines. Marvel at soaring skyscrapers, then head to Manila's oldest neighbourhood, Intramuros, which dates back to the 16th century to see some incredible landmarks, including Fort Santiago, Casa Manila and San Agustin Church. The Cultural Center of the Philippines is a hub for dance, theatre, music and the visual arts, while there are also many great museums in and around Rizal Park. 

Day 7-8 – Cruising  

Day 9 – Next up, you'll explore Bitung, located on the north coast of the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. While you're here, check out its provincial capital, Manado, which is known for its world-class gastronomy, and unique fusion of cultures (the architectural influence is a mix of colonial Dutch buildings and ancient Buddhist temples).

Day 10-11 – Cruising 

Day 12 – Your first Australian stop is Darwin, the laid-back capital of the Northern Territory. Not always at the top of everyone's must-see list, this increasingly trendy destination has a lot to offer—from the thriving art galleries, and interesting markets, to the Charles Darwin National Park, which has fantastic lookouts towards the city of Darwin below.

Day 13-15 – Cruising

Day 16 – A popular haven for yachtsmen, backpackers, and lovers of exotic marine life, Airlie Beach is also where several tours depart for the Great Barrier Reef and the famous Whitsunday islands. You'll spend the day here, soaking up the scenic views.

Day 17 – Cruising

Day 18 – Brisbane, also known as the capital of the sunshine state, Queensland, is up next! Take a walk up to Kangaroo Point cliffs for a bird's-eye view of the city skyline, take a relaxing cruise down the Brisbane River, or explore the many museums, including the Queensland Museum, the Sparklab Sciencentre, and the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art.

Day 19 – Cruising

Day 20-21 – Today you'll reach your final stop on the cruise, Sydney, where you'll spend the night in port. With views of the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge as your backdrop, you'll get to make the most of your last night on board before you disembark the following morning.
