Ok.  Have never been to Oz (that's Australia).  Hope I can get there soon.

Best place on Earth. Ohhh and this Aussie prefers Aus to Oz (Oz as where Dorothea went my old teacher would say). But I’m orobably in a minority’s there.

[GUT2407]

After our very first cruise a circumnavigation of Australia was put on out bucket list, took a while to cross it off.

 

Now trying to find the right one at the right time, in fact nearly booked another’s while we were on the first one.

we also tend to lengthen any short names.

They seem to sell out quick, which leaves me wondering why there aren’t more on offer.

 

im ready to do it again

Weather! They can only do it in spring or autumn. In winter there is a risk of rough seas on the bottom half, in summer it's too hot and humid in the top half.

and cyclones.

HAL has one leaving Oct 17 for 30 days. Cabins are still available. 

[MicCanberra]

I have seen that one but do not have the time.

I'm thinking something that starts and ends in Sydney or Bali.  I've seen it somewhere but now I cannot remember where.  Lots of Aus and NZ trips but I have been to NZ multiple times.

Princess has 28 nights, but must be very popular - Sea Princess from Brisbane on March 8, 2020 and Sydney on March 10, 2020 already sold out on Princess website although from Brisbane has limited availability on at least 2 online TA sites.

 

HA Maasdam seems to have much better availabilities even in 2019.

Thanks for posting all the itineraries.

[GUT2407]

Mrs G is Dead keen on another circumnavigation, so that helps a lot.

 

thank you.

[OzKiwiJJ]

It's still on my bucket list, although we've done half of it - the Top End.

can't recommend it highly enough, we want to do one now with different ports to last time.

[MicCanberra]

I will do one of them one day, despite having been to most of the ports either by ship or land anyway.

[GUT2407]

The Masdam itinerary looks good.
