Cruises to Tasmania

Tabs view cruises.

• View Cruises

Australia has long been a land of wondrous natural adventures on a vast scale, and cruises to Tasmania will showcase the best of what this amazing country has to offer. From the sweeping landscapes and intriguing wildlife to the vibrant culture and cuisine, an Australia cruise that stops in Tasmania is truly a rewarding experience. This island is home to many of Australia's most treasured flora and fauna, old British settlements, and revered Aboriginal cultural sites.

See historic Hobart during an overnight stay in this charming city. Stroll the quaint streets, explore Salamanca Place with its markets and galleries, or take a cable car ride to the top of Mount Wellington for panoramic views. Journey to Port Arthur, an evocative site steeped in local lore from its early days as a penal colony. Explore the Freycinet Peninsula where you can take in the dramatic views of Hazards Beach, hike through national parks, or look out for native wildlife like wallabies and Tasmanian devils.

Tasmania Cruise Highlights

Vineyards & wine tasting.

Tasmania is home to some of Australia’s finest wineries, and in recent years has made a name for itself as a premier wine-producing region. Visit one of Tasmania's many vineyards for a tour and wine tasting, or enjoy a delicious meal paired with local Riesling, Pinot Noir, and other famous local varietals. You'll find that the wines of Tasmania are a perfect complement to the island's cuisine, from organic meat and fresh seafood to locally produced cheeses and honey.

Nature & Wildlife

Tasmania is well known for its abundant wildlife, including the elusive Tasmanian devil. Take a nature walk or safari through one of Tasmania's many national parks and spot kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, and other local fauna. Trek to the beautiful Myrtle Gully Falls near Hobart, or explore St. Clair National Park for sweeping views of this pristine wilderness area. Venture to one of Tasmania's smaller offshore islands to look for penguins, seals, and dolphins in their natural habitat.

Aboriginal Heritage Sites

Tasmania is home to some of Australia's most important Aboriginal heritage sites with a deep connection to the past that blends with the island's modern culture today. See rock art dating back 20,000 years at the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre, or explore the shell middens and stone huts at the Port Arthur Historic Site. For a truly educational experience, take part in an Aboriginal cultural tour and learn about the unique language and traditions of the island's original inhabitants.

Tasmania Cruise Ports

Tasmania cruise itineraries.

Cruises to Tasmania sail round-trip from Sydney and last for five, six and nine nights. These cruises will bring you to ports on the Australian mainland such as Melbourne, Adelaide, and Kangaroo Island, as well as the Tasmanian port of Hobart (for an overnight stay), depending on your cruise. Tasmanian cruises run from February through April.

Itineraries

Why cruise to tasmania with celebrity cruises.

There’s no better way to discover the magic of Tasmania than on a cruise with Celebrity. On board, you’ll enjoy world-class bars and restaurants including the popular Sunset Bar or the elegantly tasteful Moonlight Sonata Restaurant, depending on your itinerary. Kids will be thrilled with all of the activities offered at Camp at Sea, and you’ll find many places to unwind with a cocktail with friends, like the Martini Bar, as you sail to your next destination. Get ready for an active day in port with a morning workout at the state-of-the-art Fitness Center, or a refreshing dip in any of the pools onboard. 

You’ll travel to Tasmanian ports known for their turbulent history as part of the diverse fabric of Australian cultural heritage, as well as natural beauty. Visit places that focus on the island's wine industry, culinary traditions, or protected Aboriginal historic sites. Get up close to animals and plants exclusive to the island, or the country as a whole. Enjoy award-winning Celebrity service and amenities on a wonderful Tasmania cruise.

Tasman Island Cruises provides unforgettable wilderness cruises along the spectacular coastline between Port Arthur and Eaglehawk Neck in southern Tasmania.

The cruise travels beneath the highest vertical sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere at Cape Pillar. Guests explore waterfalls, rock formations, archways and deep-sea caves.

The coastline is part of the Tasman National Park. It is home to a variety of wildlife including hundreds of seals, migrating whales and abundant sea birds in their thousands.

At any time of year you're likely to see the feeding frenzy of diving gannets, albatross and sea eagles wheeling on the wind, cliff-nesting cormorants and peregrine falcons, or a pod of playful dolphins surfing the bow wave of the boat.

The custom built yellow boats are ideal for viewing the spectacular coastline and wildlife of the Tasman Peninsula. Each vessel holds a maximum of 43 guests. Covered open-air tiered seating means an excellent all-round view and connection with the environment. The boats have been created for these journeys and they are gentle on the environment due to their fuel efficiency and low emission operation.

More information.

Let us help you to make the most of your visit to the Tasman Peninsula.

Do I Need to Book?

We recommended booking a few days ahead as our boats are often full and you may be disappointed if you chance to just turn up on the day. We are flexible with bookings so it is not a problem if you decide to change to another day or cancel, whatever the reason. No fee is charged for cancellations before the cruise date (so long as you contact us).

What about the weather?

Our boats are designed to suit the coastline along which we travel and we will certainly make the most of any weather conditions. Our bookings are fully flexible so if you decide the weather on the day is not for you, you can give us a call and we can change your reservation to a different day. Our staff are upfront and honest about the weather and you are welcome to contact us a day or two ahead to get an honest indication of the forecasted weather. Of course, in Tasmania the weather can at times be a little surprising and so a forecast is exactly that, a forecast!

What about sea sickness?

Being in open ocean, sea sickness can be an issue for a small number of people. We have had 13 years experience in dealing with this and have developed some very effective techniques to minimise the chance of sea sickness occurring.

We offer all-natural Travel Calm Ginger tablets to everyone when they step onboard. This product has proven extremely effective in preventing sea sickness in most people. Our staff can also suggest a number of things to further assist in minimising the chances of any sea sickness symptoms:

• Selecting a seat in the back third of the boat (there is a lot less movement up the back of the boat)
• Keeping your body temperature on the cooler side
• If you wear glasses or sunglasses keep the lenses clean at all times
• Avoid looking through cameras, binoculars etc
• Stay away from acidic foods before the cruise such as Orange Juice and coffee

We do emphasise that communication is the key - if you have any concerns please let our staff know.

What do I need to wear?

It is important that you are adequately dressed because it is cold on the boats, even in summer. Warm jackets gloves, scarves & beanies are a good idea. We provide wet weather jackets which go over the top of your clothing, but we encourage you to bring a few warm layers of your own.

Can you cater for special dietary needs?

We use local cafes and restaurants for meals on our Full Day Tours. These venues are able to cater for most dietary requirements. Please mention any special requests to our staff when booking.

Can I do the cruise and Port Arthur Historic Site on the same day?

Yes, our Booking Centre is right next door to the Port Arthur Historic Site. Both can be done in the same day.

Are young children OK?

Children of all ages are welcome aboard our boats and we take many children along on our cruises. As parents you are probably the best judge as to how your children will cope with being out on the water for 3 hours, but we have found that the majority of children enjoy the experience and love seeing the amazing wildlife, huge cliffs and caves along the Bruny coastline.

Is the cruise OK while pregnant?

For the majority of days the cruise is quite suitable for pregnant women and we have had lots do our trip. Our boats are custom built for the coastline that we cruise along. They are able to cut through chop and therefore we can avoid the bumping of waves that some boats experience. It is a good idea to take into account the weather conditions on the day of the cruise as this will effect comfort levels for someone who is heavily pregnant. You can contact us a day or two ahead to get a weather report for the day of your cruise and we are happy to move or cancel bookings if it is not looking suitable for you.

Pennicott Wilderness Journeys acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
