Dawn Princess 28 Day Circumnavigation of Australia Itinarary

[JimandLouise]

Hi,

 

I've managed to find an itnarary of the Dawn Princess' 28 day tour around Australia in November / December 2006.

 

Ports are : Sydney - Brisbane - Whitsunday Islands - Cairns - Darwin - Broome - Exmouth - Perth - Bunbury - Albany - Adelaide - Hobart - Burnie - Melbourne - Sydney.

 

Sounds like a good trip.

Hi Jim,

 

The itinerary looks really great,2 days in both Darwin and Perth and an overnight in Hobart.

 

I heard from one on line agent that 1500 people pre registered their interest and when boookings opened only grades J&K where available.

 

And a warning when booking........

Make sure you check out the special Conditions of Passage they have for this cruise...............

 

namely a NON REFUNDABLE deposit of $AU 1,000.00 per passenger.

 

I think that is a lot to pay for something so far out.

Hi Kiwi Kruser,

 

AU$1000 is a lot - I heard the same about 1500 pre booking enquiries......might hold off and see when the non refundable deposit comes down a few $'s.

 

Thanks,

Where did you find the information about that cruise? We have a 14 day cruise on the Statendam for Nov, 2006, but my wife is more interested in Australia. Can you direct us to where we find the information. Thank you.

Hi boards,

 

I dont think the information has been published yet.But you can check out Australian Cruises here.....

When the Circle Australia cruise was first announced it was to have been on Dawn and P&O took pre registration interest and it sold out when bookings opened.

Dawn holds 1980 passengers whereas Pacific Princess has 680.

They announced the new cruises to booked passengers and rebooked them on 2 sailings around Australia,11 Nov 06 and then again on 28 Feb 07, but even with 2 sailings that is only 1360 passengers, 600 short of what Dawn could have taken.

 

Yogles,

Glad to hear you are going.Which cruise have they reboooked you on?

We have been rebooked on the 11 Nov sailing

The Pacific Princess is a lovely ship . I am sure you will both enjoy her.I have sailled on her before and will more than happy to Circle Australia on her.

They are 28 night cruises and include the 2 new ports of Cooktown and Thursday Island,while the departure times from Fremantle and Hobart have been brought forward to midnight rather than early the following morning........as per yogles posting of the itinerary above.
