September marks the start of a change in season where temperatures are more moderate and there are a select number of surprise destinations to choose from priced lower than other times of the year.
Our list shares the best places to cruise so you can just sit back, relax and take in the scenery.
Soft sand beaches, azure waters and the Great Barrier Reef under your feet. Could it be more magical?
Choose between luxury cruises or shorter, more intimate cruises around the Whitsundays. Whatever you do, don't pass up the chance to snorkel or dive amongst the coral and local marine life.
Cruise down an icon of our nation on a paddle steamer for a truly unique river adventure.
The Murray River travels from New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, though most cruises depart from Victoria.
Along the way you'll encounter native flora and fauna, stop by local river towns and be wined and dined onboard.
Cruise by desert, coral coast, beaches and national parks as you make your way up the Western Australian Coast.
Shorter journeys take you between Perth and the natural wonders of Monkey Mia and Ningaloo Reef while longer cruises can bring you all the way into the rugged terrain of the Northern Territory.
Get a taste for the real outback Australia as you meander your way through the Top End.
During the dry season, Kakadu and Katherine are bursting with marine and bird life. Cruises steer you through rusty red gorges and rich wetlands where you may even spy a resident saltwater crocodile.
On tour you'll also get to immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture and have the chance to dip into the waters at Litchfield National Park.
Keep these on your radar to cruise to and through in the future.
Indulge in long stretches of sand and natural wonders.
A relatively short distance from Australia, you can easily cruise to this Pacific paradise on a week-long vacation.
Experience a charming mix of French and Melanesian hospitality while you choose to relax or seek out an adventure.

Take advantage of big savings while sailing from Europe to the United States.
If you’re all about the journey then a repositioning cruise could be perfect for you. As the cruise line changes location for the new season you can get on board for a transatlantic cruise at a fraction of the cost.
