        Fast-Paced On-Court Action

        Get ready for an unforgettable experience! As part of your exclusive cruise package in Australasia, you’ll have the chance to attend a thrilling day of the Australian Open. The first of the year’s Grand Slam tennis events, this is a sensational contest where the world’s best tennis players go racket-to-racket across several days of intense competition to be crowned champion, establishing the year’s Grand Slam champion contenders. Known as “The Happy Slam”, this is a fantastic experience for veteran tennis fans and newcomers alike, with exciting on-court action awaiting you. Specifically, you’ll have tickets for the Rod Laver Arena: the tournament’s main venue and just one of Melbourne Park’s several stadiums. The Australian Open is played on blue hardcourt surfaces and is known for its aggressive, fast-paced style of play, while the event itself is also known for its innovation and use of new technologies; the Australian Open was the first Grand Slam event to feature indoor play, night-time singles finals, and Hawk-Eye Live – an enhanced iteration of Hawk-Eye, a computer system used to track the trajectory of tennis balls to support on-court umpire decisions. To say you’re in for a treat would be an understatement; the Australian Open really is a sporting event unlike any other.

We didn't spend that much time in the music venues. The balcony was a nice addition to our cabin. It was nice to be able to sit out there and we didn't find the view restricted. The food in the main dining room and the speciality covered a wide range of cuisines. It was nice that the executive chef came out to speak to us. The wide range of entertainment was also very good.
