Broome, Australia
October 13, 20279:00 AM – 6:15 PMBroome feels like red earth meeting turquoise sea, pearl boats at rest, warm air on your skin, and the wide open spirit of Australia’s northwest.
Explore Broome, AustraliaCaptain's TipYou'll have 9 hours hours to explore Broome, Australia, from 9:00 AM to 6:15 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Distances are longer than in compact European ports, so planning transport is important.
Day at Sea — October 14, 2027
October 14, 20273:00 PM – 6:30 PMThe Kimberley Coast feels vast and untamed, red cliffs, tidal rivers, ancient rock art, and a sense of wilderness that still feels truly remote.
Captain's TipArriving in Kimberley Coast at 3:00 PM with only 4 hours hours before your 6:30 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Small boat excursions are the heart of any Kimberley visit.

Captain's TipYour ship arrives in Cairns, Australia at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. A reef cruise is the reason many travelers come to Cairns.
Willis Island
October 21, 20279:30 AM – 10:30 AMWillis Island, a remote Australian outpost, offers a unique glimpse into coral reef research, tropical weather, and isolated island life in the Coral Sea.
Explore Willis IslandCaptain's TipWith 1 hours hours in Willis Island and the Sapphire Princess carrying over 2,000 passengers, time and transportation will be tight. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the best move - priority disembarkation and a guaranteed return to the ship. Don't leave this to chance. The waters around Willis Island feature vibrant coral reefs rich in marine biodiversity.
