Cruise Description

Seven Seas Explorer® took luxury cruising to the next level, from the palatial Regent Suite to the hand-picked art accentuating her halls.

Eden, Australia
Formerly a whaling hub in the 19th century, Eden is the southernmost town in New South Wales, nestled between two glorious bays and perched on rolling hills bounded by dramatic cliffs and expansive sandy beaches. Eden’s whaling legacy lives on in its exciting whale-watching opportunities and the fascinating Killer Whale Museum. At the Sapphire Coast Marine Discovery Centre, towering lighthouses and the scenic coastline keep the focus firmly on the ever-changing sea.

Melbourne, Australia
Far from the clichéd Australia of popular perception, Melbourne is a graceful city of European style and substance, fine living and cultural riches. Its many green parks and public gardens reflect the foresight of this city's 19th century founders and their intention to create a "pleasing to the eye" metropolis for the enjoyment of all. The city's moderate climate and financial prominence have attracted huge numbers of visitors from all over the world.

Phillip Island, Australia
Phillip Island will captivate you with its iconic wildlife, pristine white beaches and hi-octane motor sports. From tiny penguins to sleepy koalas to Australia’s largest fur seal colony, you can find them here in their natural habitat as part of the UNESCO Western Port Biosphere Reserve. Take in some of the best surfing in the country at Cape Woolamai, set against the backdrop of ancient pink granite. The region was recently declared a National Surfing Reserve in recognition of its rich surfing heritage and pristine natural environment. For a thrilling racing experience visit the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.

Portland, Australia
Portland is located on the far south-west coast of Victoria, mid-way between Port Fairy and the small town of Nelson which is adjacent to the state border with South Australia. This region boasts rich maritime history, and inspiring natural attractions. Take the Portland Cable Tram for a scenic and informative journey through the foreshore, providing views along the coast and passing attractions such as Botanic Gardens, Portland Powerhouse Car Museum, Maritime Discovery Centre, Whalers Bluff Lighthouse, and the World War II Memorial Lookout Tower at Anderson Point. South of Portland is the Cape Nelson state park with the Cape Nelson Lighthouse located on the coast's southern tip.

Hobart (Tasmania), Australia
Hobart is regarded by guests as one of the region's most friendly, exciting and diverse destinations. In the State of Tasmania, Hobart is Australia's second oldest city. It is rich in character and history, nestling next to one of the most beautiful natural harbors in the world and at the base of Mount Wellington, which rises 3,600 feet from the sea. The working harbor is unique with Antarctic supply vessels and fishing boats coming and going throughout the year.
