Australia is 'made for cruises'

Australia is a great place to take a cruise, according to online advice site Cruise Critic.

Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor in chief at Cruise Critic, said: "Australia is one of those places that is ideally set up for cruises."

As it is a "huge" country, with cities which are often located thousands of miles for each other, "a voyage around the country is a great way to see really disparate destinations", she added.

"You've got the Great Barrier Reef for beaches and diving, and then fantastic cities like Melbourne and Sydney. You've got Perth, and the surrounding wine country. There's so much variety," Ms Spencer Brown noted.

Australia has already begun to see an increased number of cruise ships visiting the country, she added.

Her comments come as Cunard Line announced this week that their Queen Mary 2 will be based in the commonwealth country during 2012 for a circumnavigation voyage.
