🌴🐠 Australia 2028 – Great Barrier Reef Cruise Package
Celebrity Edge | 11 Nights | 24 March – 4 April 2028

✨ Flights. Hotel. Transfers. Cruise. The full Aussie dream. ✨

Alright you lovely lot… Kat & Simon here, and we’ve just put together one of the most incredible long-haul cruise packages we’ve EVER offered 😍

If the Great Barrier Reef has been calling your name (or if you just fancy escaping the British weather for a while 🤣), this one’s going to hit the spot.

Imagine it:
Arriving in Sydney, one night in a lovely 4★ hotel, then stepping onboard Celebrity Edge for 11 nights of reef, rainforest, beaches, sunshine and proper once-in-a-lifetime moments. ☀️🌊🐠

It’s giving “treat yourself”, it’s giving “this is my era”, it’s giving “goodbye Newport Tesco car park, hello paradise”.

And when you’re in Australia, you can finally tick off the iconic trio:
🐨 Cuddle a koala
🐊 Bravely claim you could wrestle a crocodile (you couldn’t)
🦘🥊 Box a kangaroo — or at least pretend to when they square up like gym lads
(IMPORTANT: Please only do the koala one. The other two will absolutely send you home in a cast.)

£7,498 Total (£3,749pp)

💰 Deposit today: £300
