Singapore & Australia: A Journey of City Sophistication, Coastal Beauty and Natural Wonders
From the vibrant streets of Singapore to the extraordinary landscapes of Australia, this 18-night journey brings together cosmopolitan energy, iconic landmarks, tropical adventures and laid-back coastal escapes. Carefully balancing city stays with unforgettable experiences in the great outdoors, the itinerary travels from Singapore to Sydney, Cairns, the Whitsundays and Queensland’s spectacular coast before returning to Singapore and London.
The journey begins in Singapore, after a comfortable Singapore Airlines flight from London. Two nights at V Hotel Bencoolen provide an ideal introduction to the city, with its central location close to the National Museum, Singapore Arts Museum and Bras Basah MRT. There is time to experience the contrasts that make Singapore so captivating, from its polished modern architecture to its rich cultural neighbourhoods, before continuing onwards to Australia.
On arrival in Sydney, four nights at Sydney Central Hotel Managed by The Ascott Limited place you in the heart of the city, within easy reach of Central Station and Sydney’s celebrated sights. The itinerary brings two particularly memorable experiences into focus: an exhilarating Sydney Bridge Climb, offering an unforgettable perspective over the harbour and city skyline, followed by a Sydney Harbour Sunset Cruise, where the city takes on a magical atmosphere as the sun begins to set.
From Sydney, the journey heads north to Cairns, gateway to some of Queensland’s most spectacular natural landscapes. Three nights at Ramada by Wyndham Cairns City Centre provide a comfortable base for two very different adventures. The Kuranda Scenic Railway Gold Class and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway offers a wonderful way to discover the ancient rainforest, travelling through lush scenery by historic railway and soaring above the treetops by cableway. The following day brings one of Australia’s true highlights: a Great Barrier Reef experience from Cairns, immersing you in the extraordinary marine world just offshore.
The journey then continues to the Whitsundays, flying to Proserpine before settling into two nights at the waterfront Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach. With its position overlooking the Coral Sea, private jetty, swimming pool, spa and waterfront setting, the resort provides a beautiful change of pace. Here, the atmosphere becomes distinctly more relaxed, surrounded by the islands and turquoise waters of one of Australia’s most celebrated coastal regions.
From Brisbane, a hire car opens the next chapter of the adventure, allowing the journey to unfold at its own pace. Two nights at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island bring you into one of Queensland’s most remarkable natural environments. Surrounded by beaches, rainforest and pristine landscapes, the resort offers a tranquil retreat with pools, spa facilities and a selection of restaurants.
The road journey then continues south towards the Gold Coast, with two nights at Novotel Surfers Paradise. Centrally positioned close to Cavill Avenue and Surfers Paradise Beach, this is a chance to experience the energetic character of one of Australia’s most famous coastal destinations, where golden sands, ocean views and a lively atmosphere come together.
The final Australian stop is Brisbane, where a final night at Hotel Grand Chancellor Brisbane offers a convenient city base before the return journey. After travelling through some of Australia’s most distinctive landscapes and celebrated destinations, the journey heads back to Singapore before continuing onwards to London.
From the sophistication of Singapore and the unmistakable skyline of Sydney to the ancient rainforest of Cairns, the underwater wonders of the Great Barrier Reef and the sun-drenched coastline of Queensland, this is a journey defined by contrast. A captivating Australian adventure that combines iconic cities, extraordinary nature and unforgettable coastal experiences, thoughtfully curated by Club Voyages.
