Singapore to Australia Cruise?
Hi all,
I start an exciting adventure in Nov 2011, traveling from London UK to Australia without taking any flights.
Ive sorted every part except the last leg from Asia to Australia. Does anyone know of any cruises from Singapore or anywhere in south east asia?
Any help muchly appreciated!

Do you know what month you'd be sailing from Singapore to Australia? There are a few cruise ships that do this route, but it's not offered all year-round.
I know that Seabourn Spirit is doing this route (Singapore to Cairns, Australia) twice in early 2011 (January 12 and February 3).
Silversea's Silver Shadow also sometimes travels from Singapore to Sydney. In 2011, it looks like the ship is running this route on December 6.
Princess offers a few cruises from Singapore to Sydney, as does Regent Seven Seas.
P&O sails from Singapore to Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
Orion Expeditions, an Australian cruise company, may do this route but I don't have their catalog handy.

You should look into catching a ride on a freighter. It could be interesting, especially if they have any other ports of call along the way where you could spend a day or two in the port city while they unload/load.

The Singapore-Sydney route is generally part of a world cruise and, as others have mentioned, is not operated year-round.
Holland America, Princess Cruises, Fred Olsen & P&O are amongst those lines that offer world cruises, but they will typically vary the exact routes of these each year to attract new customers.
Silversea looks to be the only line operating that specific route in Dec 2011 and it would certainly be a very comfortable way to arrive in Australia!!

If you can wait until January, you've got a bit more choice...
Regent Seven Seas - Seven Seas Voyager. SIN/SYD 5th Jan
Voyages of Discovery - Discover. MNL/SYD 21st Jan
P&O - Oriana. SIN/SYD 30th Jan
Good luck with the search.

Holland America Lines and Princess Cruise Lines have SEA cruises that could work, if you want a traditional, but lower priced cruise line making their way around this part of the world -- but maybe not at the schedule that works for you. http://www.hollandamerica.com/find-c...de=advertising
