Itinerary Overview

Darwin
The capital city of Australias Northern Territory, Darwin delivers more than enough rugged natural beauty to earn its namesake: none other than renowned naturalist Charles Darwin. This port city on Australias Top End ? the lushly forested northern tip of the province ? is known for its year-round tropical climate. After you take in the ocean views at Cullen Bay Marina, cool down inside the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. Here, youll find collections on Cyclone Tracy, Darwins World War II history and indigenous and Australian art. If youre looking to venture farther out with your Darwin cruise, its just over an hour to the Kakadu rainforest or the waterfalls and plunge pools of Litchfield National Park. |
