Princess Cruise Lines offers a cruise that circumnavigates the entire Australian island. The next one departs Sydney on March 11, 2011 and returns there 28 days later. Since cruises that circumnavigate the island last for nearly a month, only one is scheduled each year. Prices range from $4,495 for an interior view room to $10,395 for a balcony suite aboard the Dawn Princess.

Cunard Cruise Lines has offered one cruise that circumnavigates Australia. The Queen Mary 2 is a luxury cruise ship that will make its first circumnavigation of Australia in 2012. Though registration is closed, the route is posted on the Queen Mary 2 website, which should be checked for future circumnavigations.
