Australia is a continent of superlatives: from breathtaking cities, kangaroos and koalas to snorkelling at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef – look forward to the fifth continent in all its many facets.
From Benoa on Bali, the EUROPA 2 will take you to the highlights of Australia, with fantastic days at sea in between. In Darwin, for instance, a flight to Kakadu National Park* will be an eye-opening experience. The bright-red coral reefs are also very impressive, which you can best discover from idyllic Lizard Island or from Cairns while snorkelling* on the famous Great Barrier Reef. Enjoy a tranquil day at Airlie Beach with its palm-fringed beaches and on Middle Percy. Afterwards, you will reach the sunny city of Brisbane with its many cultural offers as well as lively Sydney. The city is not only famous for its Opera House with its sail-shaped roof construction, but legendary Bondi Beach* and the Blue Mountains* are also worth a visit. In addition, Australia offers wine lovers an exquisite selection. Sample the fine wines in the famous Barossa Valley* when the EUROPA 2 moors in Adelaide. At the end of your cruise, get to know Australia’s native wildlife and visit Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park* in Penneshaw, where kangaroos, koalas and many other species live. Then, in Melbourne, it will be time to say goodbye to the EUROPA 2.

Darwin has a fascinating history, ranging from settlement by Indigenous peoples to destruction during the Second World War. The city was originally inhabited by the Larrakia Aboriginal people and was an important trading centre for pearl divers. During the Second World War, Darwin was heavily bombed and severely damaged. Nowadays, Darwin has developed into a modern and vibrant city. It is the capital of the Northern Territory and an important port for trade with Asia. Darwin is also known for its unique wildlife and natural beauty. The surrounding area offers spectacular national parks, waterfalls and breathtaking sunsets. Darwin is a popular destination for adventurous travellers who want to experience the unique culture and nature of Australia’s top end.
The origins of Sydney go back to the year 1788, when the First Fleet under the leadership of Captain Arthur Phillip arrived in the Bay of Sydney and founded a penal colony there. Over time, Sydney has developed into a flourishing port city and an important centre of trade. Today, Sydney is not only Australia’s largest city, it is also a major global financial and economic hub. It is a melting pot of cultures, in which people from all over the world come together to enjoy the vibrant urban lifestyle, multicultural cuisine and breathtaking natural scenery. Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge have become iconic landmarks that shape the city’s skyline. Sydney is a place that encourages creativity, innovation and diversity and draws visitors under its spell with its lively atmosphere and impressive mix of history and modernity.
