Albany | Australia Cruise Association

Albany is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and diverse coastlines in the world – in equal turns stunningly gorgeous and fearsomely rugged.

Albany was where the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC’s) departed Australia for World War I. Today, it is home to the National Anzac Centre, Australia’s foremost museum honouring the Anzac legend.

Highlights of Albany

The National Anzac Centre is a world-class museum that offers visitors a unique insight into the Anzac experience.
Witness one of the most fearsome and formidable rock formations on the south coast-The Gap-in the Torndirrup National Park.
Discover the richness of Albany’s whaling history at the only museum of its kind in the world to be housed in a formerly fully-operational whaling station. Spot migrating humpbacks and blue whales from the shore, or see them up close on board a whale watching cruise.
Taste your way through the Great Southern wine region, Australia’s largest wine region consisting of Albany, Denmark, Porongurup, Mount Barker and Frankland River.
