International Cruising from Australia
How Aussies Join the Adventure
While the ship currently sails from ports like Port Canaveral (Orlando) and Fort Lauderdale in Florida, many Australians choose to:
-
Fly to the USA with airlines like Qantas, Emirates or American carriers.
-
Combine a short USA stay with their cruise (e.g. Orlando theme parks or Miami beach time).
-
Use a US entry authorisation such as an ESTA before travelling.
Pairing your cruise with a longer holiday allows you to see more of the Americas on one trip.
