MELBOURNE Cruise Arrivals Guide Discover the city and beyond

Welcome to Melbourne, Victoria Hugging the base of the Australian east coast, Victoria is Australia’s secondsmallest state, covering 227,600 square kilometres – roughly the size of the British Isles. Packed into such a compact area is a wealth of diverse landscapes, from national parks teeming with wildlife to wineries, lakes and mountains.

Best of all, many of Victoria’s unique and varied attractions are easily accessible as day trips from Melbourne.

Victoria’s capital, Melbourne, is located around the shores of Port Phillip Bay. Today a city of over 4 million people, Melbourne was established on the banks of the Yarra River in 1835. Renowned for its sense of style and elegance, Melbourne boasts world-class festivals and events, Australia’s best shopping; a lively passion for eating and drinking, and a flourishing passion for the arts.

With a huge variety of landscapes, a welcoming capital city, and a decidedly mild climate, Victoria can’t fail to impress... in fact you’ll love every piece of it!
