What if your next holiday didn't have an itinerary?

Step aboard Tasmania's iconic tall ship, Lady Nelson, and spend four unforgettable days exploring the spectacular waterways of Southern Tasmania, guided not by schedules, but by wind, weather and adventure. From Hobart to Bruny Island, Storm Bay, Tasman Island and beyond, no two voyages are ever the same.

Help set the sails, take a turn at the helm, learn the ropes and become part of the crew, or simply find your favourite spot on deck and watch Tasmania's breathtaking coastline drift by. Discover secluded bays, hidden anchorages and coastal landscapes that few visitors ever experience.

Keep watch for dolphins playing in the bow wave, Australian fur seals, wandering albatross and, if you're lucky, migrating whales. Each day brings a new horizon, a new anchorage and a fresh adventure.

Enjoy delicious meals, great company and the simple pleasure of disconnecting from everyday life while reconnecting with the sea. Suitable for both first-time sailors and seasoned adventurers, this unique voyage balances comfort, discovery and authentic hands-on sailing.

With only one voyage scheduled this season and places strictly limited, this is a rare opportunity to experience Tasmania the way few ever will.
