Cruise with us

19 DAY NORTHERN EXPLORER CRUISE ON THE SUN PRINCESS, Departed 24 August 2009
Karen recently escorted our inaugural Potter Travel Cruise, the 19 Day Northern Explorer Australian Cruise. At sunset on 25 August we departed Fremantle and this was the start of the most amazing holiday for our group of 40. We visited the ports of Geraldton, Exmouth, Broome, Darwin, Cooktown, Yorkeys Knob (Cairns), Townsville and Brisbane. Also included was the Kimberley Coast Scenic Cruising, where we entered York Sound and Prince Frederick Harbour. We had the opportunity to see one of the most beautiful parts of the Kimberley Coast and observe the colour changes in the rock formations during sunset. We were also lucky to have numerous Humpback Whale sightings right up the Western Australia coast. Days were filled with food, food and more food. At sea we were kept busy with Trivia Games, Movies, Dance Lessons, Computer Lessons, Arts & Crafts, Health Seminars and Port Lectures, just to mention a few. The evenings were filled with Comedy & Variety Shows, Opera performances, musicians and the Sun Princess Dancers who entertained us all. The Crew on the ship went out of their way to ensure that our time on board was an unforgettable experience. There were many varied optional Shore Excursions at each port of call or you could choose to do your own thing. Just a few of the options were the wonderful wildflowers and magnificent scenery at Kalbarri, the amazing gorges of Cape Range & the Ningaloo Reef at Exmouth, and Litchfield National Park at Darwin. The Skyrail Cableway from Kuranda at Yorkeys Knob was spectacular, to travel along the canopy of the trees was a great experience. The Sunset Camel Safari on Cable Beach was fantastic, and is a real "must do" if you ever visit Broome. And no, you are never too old, as Avril, Helen and Claire joined Margie and I, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Sadly, our magnificent journey came to an end when at 5.20am we sailed into Sydney and under the Harbour Bridge. I wish I was still cruising on the Sun Princess!

16 DAY NORTHERN EXPLORER CRUISE ON THE SUN PRINCESS, DEPARTING TUESDAY
14 SEPTEMBER 2010

What a fabulous success our first Cruise was in August 2009, so why not join us again in 2010? Unpack just once and jump on board for a fantastic opportunity to cruise around the northern half of Australia with your Potter Travel Club friends on this fully escorted tour (subject to minimum numbers). Departing Canberra we transfer to Sydney for our flight to Perth and transfer to Fremantle to join the Sun Princess for an early evening departure. Ports of call on this cruise include Geraldton, Broome, the Kimberley’s, Darwin, Port Douglas, Townsville and Brisbane. The 2010 itinerary has been altered slightly to include Bali (Padang Bay). The cruise finishes in Sydney and we transfer by coach back to Canberra. At each port of call there is the opportunity to join a range of different shore excursions (additional cost) which are available. There are relaxing days at sea in between the port visits and the Sun Princess offers all the dining, entertainment and recreational options found at a top landside resort property. A larger ship with small-ship intimacy, Sun Princess lets passengers do what they want, when they want. The ship carries 1,950 passengers and has a wrap-around promenade deck and four swimming pools. There is a library, card room, gym with exercise classes, computerized golf centre and a gallery of shops. To say the nightlife is entertaining is an understatement. Theatre productions, lounge acts, movies and casino venues are just some of the fun onboard. There are many other activities onboard designed to stimulate, educate, entertain and inspire. The tour includes transfers, airfare Sydney to Perth, government charges, stateroom accommodation with private facilities, gourmet dining and onboard activities.
