Departing from Auckland on January 30, 2012, Celebrity Century, is offering an 18 night cruise on Celebrity Century, priced from $1669*, from Auckland to Fremantle along Australia’s southern coast.

This circumnavigation cruise includes Darwin, Cairns, Brisbane and completes its round-Australia circuit in Sydney.

And while passengers will get the chance to appreciate the scope and beauty of Australia’s dramatic coastline, they will also get the plenty of time to enjoy the innovative modern amenities on Celebrity Century.
