When a Regent world cruise sails west from San Francisco towards Australia, it is “transPecific” cruise. - that segment can be booked as such. It has nothing to do with an “end of the Alaska season repositions”. Yes, some of the world cruises offer US to Australia sectors. Crystal does too. And sometimes there is a Circle Pacific from Australia that offers US to Aus segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of sea days along the way for sure. This may be the case from East Coast ports, but from West Coast ports they are repositioning cruises transitioning from Alaska cruises to NZ/Aus cruises.

Markanddonna Posted July 8, 2019 #28 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Check out my website and then go to "Travel to Australia and Europe" on the menu. I wrote several very popular articles on Australia, New Zealand, and our 23 day transatlantic cruise from Seattle to Sydney. http://www.DonnaGawell.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare babs135 Posted July 8, 2019 #30 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Slightly tedious, but check on cruisetimetables.com to see which cruise lines do what you want and when and then 'hop over' to the relevant forum here and ask your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare babs135 Posted July 8, 2019 #32 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm from the UK and although I've been very fortunate to have done 2 land tours of Australia and 2 cruises, one of which went to New Zealand, we have always had to fly there and back. Horrendously long flights but we've usually included stopovers both ways. Hope you find what you are looking for. Australia is something special.

Currently we use Viking Ocean, which have a ship in Alaska for the first time this year. The Viking Orion does the N'bd return across the Bering Sea.

Haoie Posted July 9, 2019 #39 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If you want to visit OZ/NZ on a cruise, you really ought to fly down here, maybe to Sydney or Auckland, and get a local cruise. Our ones are generally longer than 1 week - most are 8-10 days maybe more since we get more vacation time. Great way to see the Pacific islands too! I'm talking Vanuatu, Fiji, New Caledonia, Tonga.
