Checking Off a Bucket List Destination Gives You Bragging Rights

Another Southern Hemisphere spot that’s on plenty of bucket lists is Australia. Cruising is a convenient way to see this large continent, especially on Holland America Line’s 35-day Australia Circumnavigation. Or you can explore one of its most scenic island destinations on Celebrity Cruises’ 6-night Tasmania sailing.

A safari and a cruise in one vacation? Be the envy of your friends as you visit three African countries — Namibia, South Africa, and Mozambique — on Regent Seven Seas Cruises15-night Wildlife & Wine itinerary, which sails roundtrip from Cape Town. Sip local wines, climb (or photograph) Namibian sand dunes, and spot wildlife on South African game reserves on this epic sailing.
