Australia’s largest small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, has released the special “Half a World of Wonders’ fly, stay and cruise package in partnership with German cruise line, nicko cruises, which it exclusively represents in Australia.

Cruise Traveller’s exclusive package features an unforgettable, oceans-spanning voyage from Lisbon to Sydney aboard nicko cruises’ 1000-guest ship, VASCO DA GAMA. The ship’s latest name honours 15th century Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gama, who was the first European to reach India by sea.

Ideal for modern-day explorers, the globe-trotting experience begins on October 8, 2023, with a complimentary flight from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth to Lisbon in Portugal for a free night’s stay in a hotel. Next day, guests will board VASCO DA GAMA for the exciting 110-night voyage half way around the world back to Sydney. The spacious and elegant, nine-deck ship boasts sleek teak decks, five deluxe bars and lounges, five restaurants, spa centre with sauna, steam bath and gym, two pools, three jacuzzis and a two-storey show theatre.

The voyage features 52 ports in 24 countries, offering a relaxed and unhurried way to see so many exotic lands without constantly packing and unpacking.

Destinations include Morocco, little-visited Senegal and Gambia in western Africa and the remote volcanic island of St Helena as well as Namibia, South Africa and the rich wildlife of Madagascar. Idyllic tropical islands such as the Maldives, Seychelles and Reunions follow as well as exotic India and Sri Lanka. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Hong Kong are visited, with Christmas and New Year’s celebrated onboard the ship in traditional style. The adventure continues in The Philippines and Indonesia before reaching ports in the Northern Territory and Queensland and journey’s end in Sydney on January 28, 2024.

Including a flight from Australia to Portugal, night in Lisbon, an onboard Classic Beverages package, complimentary onboard laundry and ironing – handy for a voyage as long as this, a 150 Euro per cabin spa wellness voucher and a 160 Euro per cabin photo gallery voucher for memorable pictures of the grand voyage, the 111-night ‘Half a World of Wonders’ package is available from A$37,670 per person, twin-share, in an Inside Cabin – a saving of A$6810.  Solo traveller fares are now also priced from A$46,865 in an Inside Cabin – a saving of A$3375.
