Visit The Margaret River Wine Region By Cruise Ship
Many of Australia's famous wine regions are within 1-4 hours drive of a major city. And most of Australia's ports are within close proximity to a major city.
Busselton in Western Australia, only 2.5 hours drive from Perth, is home to the famous 1.8km-long Busselton Jetty which is the longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, and is also the gateway to the Margaret River wine region.
Why not book a cruise stopping at Busselton between October 2026-April 2027 or October 2027-March 2028? You can select one as little as four days long beginning and ending in Fremantle, or an epic voyage of up to 82 days beginning in Miami and finishing in Sydney.
Busselton's scheduled cruise ships start arriving from 7.00am, and depart as late as 10.00pm on the same day.
As Busselton is only 40 minutes from the town of Margaret River, you can visit a number of wineries and local attractions when you arrive.
A cruise gives you a tempting taste of a destination. Whether you join an organised day tour or make your own plans (you can be assured there will be tour organisers waiting to help you when you disembark), it's pretty likely you'll want to plan a return trip of a much longer visit. According to a survey, 76.78% of surveyed passengers had not visited the region before but 92% said that they would return to the destination as a result of their visit.
Why not book your next cruise with a port stop in Busselton, and visit Margaret River?
