The amount of travel involved in getting there can put some travellers off, but if you make the journey in a luxurious cruise liner, indulging in fine cuisine as well as captivating entertainment on the journey, time will fly by.

Reserve a world cruise for 2012 & you can find plenty to fill some time on the way to & from Australia, together with breaks at Egypt, Oman, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, French Polynesia, Peru, Colombia, Antigua and also the Azores.

Many of the breaks will allow you to discover fascinating cities and many gorgeous stretches of coastline, however few of them can compete with all the attractions of Australia.

Amongst the sights you might visit on a cruise holiday to Australia is Sydney, where you can take a trip in the harbour, climb the famed bridge and enjoy a civilized night out at the opera house.

Sydney is also a good base for exploring some of Australia's extensive bush areas and it is possible to book visits out in the Blue Mountains or Uluru while moored in the city.

Your cruise should also take you to Brisbane and its soaring tower blocks and peaceful parks. The best way to experience the sights here is to take a river cruise in the city, ahead of exploring its galleries & museums.

Brisbane is known because of its foods and drinks and you are bound to want to sample some of the eating houses throughout your time in the city. For a different way to experience the local food, why don't you make a journey to one of several wineries in the area to try a tasting session?

Pick the appropriate cruise holiday and also you should have the prospect to go to the Great Barrier Reef. Stop off at the gorgeous Hamilton Island and it is possible to take a sailing journey round the natural destination, take off for a scuba diving trip or even benefit from the views from your helicopter trip across the Whitsunday Islands.

If that all appears a little too lively, why don't you just sit back & enjoy the experience of being in a very tropical paradise? There are many deserted beaches offering terrific sights across the beautiful azure ocean to other islands, that happen to be unspoiled places to relax & work on your suntan.

Then again, you can use a break at Cairns to explore the Great Barrier Reef, but it is also a good base from which to go to Australia's rainforest. A tour to Rainforestation Nature Park will give you a chance to set eyes on a number of the country's native flora and fauna close up, whereas a visit over the canopy in the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is sure to be an impressive event.
