Re: Europe to Australia by ship these days
There area couple of cruise lines doing world cruises which could be used to go from one country to another.
They do various legs and there are some from Sydney to UK, takes a while though, and it is a lot cheaper to go by air, even first class.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Europe to Australia by ship these days
I see in this weekends Australian newspaper an advert for CMV advertising a trip on the Vasco de Gama from London (Tilbury) to Sydney, depart 9 October 2020 and return in February/March 2012. Cunard also have regular runs to Australia as well as some of the major lines with there floating villages.
