15 Night Northern Explorer aboard the Sapphire Princess

Share

Prepare for fifteen nights of luxurious cruising through the sea when you set sail with the Sapphire Princess from Brisbane to Perth.

Visiting extremely rare cities like Exmouth, Broome, and Darwin makes this sailing particularly interesting. This route is an uncommon one for the Sapphire. Actually, this is the only time it's scheduled to sail it!

To make the deal even better, if you act now you can book an outside outside room for the price of an interior outside room! We include all all entertainment, meals, taxes, and port fees in the price, so there are no sneaky extra fees.


The Sapphire Princess

Over 2,600 people can comfortably travel on this highly-rated Grand class vessel, based in Tokyo and refurbished just one year ago in 2025.

The Sapphire Princess offers guests a casino, a spa, and a gym.
