Itinerary overview
Trip notes
Before your cruise
Direct flights from London to Perth make the city an easy-breezy gateway to Australia. Spending a few nights here is the perfect way to acclimatise to the time change and see one of the country’s coolest cities. The Red Centre and its iconic landscapes (Uluru and Kings Canyon to name just a couple) is the natural next step as you make your way across the country.

Trip notes
Reef to rainforest
On your cruise, you’ll be skirting the Queensland coast between Brisbane and Port Douglas, stopping in Airlie Beach and Cairns. These perfect pit stops give you access to a world where ancient rainforests spill down to the coast to meet the Great Barrier Reef. You can swap your big ship for small boat island adventures or go full jungle mode on a trip into the Daintree Rainforest.

Trip notes
Edgy stuff
Celebrity Edge® is packed with innovations at sea including the Magic Carpet®, a movable, over-the-water platform that changes identity depending on where it’s at. On Deck 14, it’s an casual pool deck bar and on Deck 5 you can enjoy ‘Dinner on the Edge’, choosing sushi dishes from the speciality restaurant Raw on 5. Finally, on Deck 2, it’s used as a seriously swanky tender platform.

Trip notes
After your cruise
We’ve tacked on three nights in Sydney once you’ve disembarked from Celebrity Edge. This gives you time to see the familiar sights of the city like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, surf or sun soak on the famous nearby beaches, or just make the most of the cosmopolitan vibes in the city centre. If you can spare the time, you could always stay for a few more nights.

Days 1 to 3
Perth
Start off your holiday in the best way – with a few days in the Western Australia city of Perth. Beautiful beaches, botanic gardens and parks await, as does the unique Rottnest Island, home of the inquisitive quokka.

Day 4
Uluru (via Alice Springs)
Catch a flight over to the heart of Australia to marvel at the Red Centre. From Alice Springs, travel through the MacDonnell Ranges on the way to Uluru where a guide will regale you with the Aboriginal Tjukurpa stories and show you ancient rock art. End the day with an Uluru sunset.

Day 5
Kings Canyon
The morning is yours to just relax; alternatively, you could go on a Sunrise Field of Light tour or a hot-air balloon ride. The desert is your backdrop as you continue to Kings Canyon via Curtain Springs Station, arriving at your resort in time for sunset.

Day 6
Sydney (via Alice Springs)
The day begins with a climb to the rim of the canyon in time for sunrise. Then there will be some time to do a challenging three-hour hike to the ‘Garden of Eden’ oasis, or a shorter and easier walk through the canyon floor. Later, head back to Alice Springs for your flightto Sydney.

Day 7
Sydney
Make your way to the harbour to board the Celebrity Edge®.

Day 8
At sea
The journey north begins with a day at sea, the perfect time to get your bearings on board.

Brisbane
The first stop on your cruise is the thriving and lively Queensland city of Brisbane.

Day 10
At sea
Spend a day at sea as the Celebrity Edge® makes her way along the coast.

Day 11
Airlie Beach
Beach bliss awaits once you’ve reached Airlie Beach. Cruising the Whitsunday Islands is the top pick of activities from here.

Days 12 to 13
Cairns (Yorkey’s Knob)
Tropical Cairns, where you’ll spend a couple of days, is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and northern Queensland’s dense rainforests.

Day 14
Port Douglas
From Port Douglas, head up to Cape Tribulation to see where Great Barrier Reef meets the Daintree Rainforest.

Day 15
At sea
As you begin the voyage back south, spend an hour cruising past the tiny Willis Island and local reefs.

Day 16
At sea
Soak up the on board atmosphere for one more day as you cruise back to Sydney.

Days 17 to 19
Sydney
It’s time to leave the Celebrity Edge for the final time. But the fun doesn’t stop here – you can add on a few nights in one of Australia’s most iconic cities; you’ve come all this way after all.

Day 20
Sydney
Goodbye Aus, it’s been a blast! It’s time to begin the journey home.
