    Katie Dundas Katie Dundas
    Discover the delights of Tasmania with Norwegian Cruise Line on a long weekend escape.

    The ultimate weekend away is right in your own backyard. This summer, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) launches a new, four-day Tassie Taster cruise onboard Norwegian Spirit®, introducing curious travellers to the delights of Tasmania.

    The rugged landscapes, rich history and delicious fresh produce make Tasmania a world-class destination in its own right, but the stunning coastlines of the island are even more beautiful when viewed from your private balcony. Departing from Sydney, this unique long weekend at sea is the perfect opportunity to completely unwind, sample the diverse dining options onboard, or take in live entertainment.

    For adults seeking a premium cruise experience, here’s why a few days onboard Norwegian Spirit might just be the weekend escape you’re looking for.

    Cruising on Norwegian Spirit

    Norwegian Spirit is designed for refined cruising. After undergoing an extensive revitalisation from bow to stern, it represents the best of NCL’s fleet by blending contemporary elegance and serene comfort.

    Featuring upgraded staterooms, stylish lounges and elevated specialty dining, Norwegian Spirit is a calm oasis for couples, solo travellers and mature explorers seeking a premium cruise experience on a smaller ship, without sacrificing amenities or entertainment.

    Whether you’re seeking an introduction to cruising or are an experienced cruiser, NCL offers the flexibility and freedom to do as much (or as little) as you like, helping you curate your perfect holiday.

    Norwegian Spirit returns to the sparkling waters of Sydney Harbour in December 2026 for its biggest Australian season to date. Australian travellers can enjoy ten Sydney departures, including two Tassie sailings, departing on the sixth and 21st of January 2027. With five round-trip summer sailings, there are plenty of opportunities to explore Australia and the South Pacific in premium comfort.

    Here’s what your long weekend sailing to Tasmania might look like.

    DAY 1: Depart Sydney in style

    As you embark on Norwegian Spirit, get excited for the ultimate weekend away. A Champagne toast to kickstart your voyage at Magnum’s Champagne & Wine Bar is always a good idea, but you may be surprised to learn that there is unrivalled variety for a ship of this size, featuring 14 dining options and nine bars, including the adults-only Spice H2O.

    Be sure to head out on deck to take in the magnificent views as you sail out of Sydney, then the rest of the night is yours to enjoy. After dinner at Cagney’s Steakhouse, a swanky specialty dining option featuring mood lighting, Premium Black Angus beef and seafood dishes, you can catch a show and enjoy some laughs at the Social Comedy & Night Club, enjoy the fresh night air from one of the decks, or head to your spacious stateroom early for a good night’s sleep.

    DAY 2: Relaxation at sea

    Chill out in a hot tub at Spice H2O.

    As you wake up refreshed on your first full sea day, you have ample opportunities to soak up the best of the ship. After a delicious buffet breakfast at the Garden Cafe, today is the ideal time to experience the award-winning Mandara Spa & Salon – whether you want to book a massage, disconnect in the thermal suite, or simply relax in the warm saunas. Or, bring a book and bask in the sun at the adults-only Spice H2O, featuring day beds, hot tubs and cocktails.

    Later, after a casual pub lunch at The Local, join in on one of the day’s many unique activities, such as arts and crafts classes, dance lessons, or browse the onboard library or shops.

    For an unforgettable dinner, book into Teppanyaki – an unforgettable Hibachi-style meal where you sit at the grill and watch the chef in action. Here, the cuisine is just as fun as watching the cooking itself, an unforgettable Hibachi-style meal where you sit at the grill and watch the chef in action.

    DAY 3: Discover Hobart, your way

    Wake up to Tasmania’s historic capital, Hobart, with a full day in port to enjoy the city at your own pace. Take a relaxed stroll through the cobblestone square of Salamanca Place in Sullivan’s Cove, a delight to the senses with art galleries, eccentric boutique shops, live music and plenty of incredible restaurants where you can sample the fresh produce and cuisine that Tasmania is known for.

    Or, travel to the Tasman Peninsula to discover some of the island’s rugged cliffs, World Heritage-listed convict sites and wildlife, including the famed Tasmanian devil. 

    Your day can be as active or relaxed as you like, but you’ll want to return to your ship by 4pm. Tonight is ideal for dinner at the Windows Main Dining Room, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Hobart as you sail away.

    DAY 4: Indulge and Unwind

    Your long weekend may be drawing to a close, but there is still another full day at sea to enjoy. Start with a hearty breakfast at The Local before a morning soak in the central Tivoli pool or one of the four outdoor hot tubs. Then make the most of your stateroom with a relaxing room service lunch.

    Later, sit back and enjoy a performance at the Stardust Theatre, or check out the afternoon’s entertainment schedule to see what’s planned.

    Freshen up for your dinner booking at Le Bistro, NCL’s contemporary take on classic French cuisine, featuring an extensive wine list and exceptional white linen service.

    After dining, hit the dance floor at Bliss Ultra Lounge or Spinnaker Lounge. Or enjoy a quiet nightcap before heading back to your stateroom. No matter what the perfect long weekend looks like to you, you can find it on Norwegian Spirit.

    To book a long weekend like no other, contact your travel agent, call 1300 255 200, or visit ncl.com. With only two exclusive departure dates, it’s best to book early to secure your preferred stateroom type and departure date.
