Grand Tour of Australia & New Zealand Cruise 2019

Stylish, arty Melbourne is both dynamic and cosmopolitan, and it's proud of its place as Australia’s sporting and cultural capital.

Consistently rated among the “world’s most livable cities” in quality-of-life surveys, where splendid Victorian buildings that sprang up in the wake of the gold rush still stand. This is Melbourne’s heart, which you can explore at a leisurely pace today. In Southbank, one of the newer precincts south of the city center, the sprawling Crown Melbourne entertainment complex

and the Southgate Centre’s bars, restaurants, and shops have refocused Melbourne’s vision on the Yarra River. Just a hop away, Federation Square— with its host of restaurants, galleries, and museums—has become a civic hub for both Melburnians and visitors. A subtler city icon, its “laneways” thread the city center between major streets and are home to fascinating bars, cafés, shops, and art galleries.
