Accidents in Australia’s Ports
Few countries in the world have more cruise ports than Australia. With more than 16,000 miles of coastline, pristine beaches, and world-renowned cities like Sydney and Melbourne, it isn’t hard to see why so many cruise passengers choose to visit each year. Regardless of where you want to go in Australia, or if you want to see as much of the country as possible, you can find a cruise that allows you to achieve your travel goals.
