Port to Port Maritime & Heritage

WHAT YOU VISIT
Torrens Island Quarantine Station
Built in 1879, this historic site was used to quarantine immigrants and prevent the spread of diseases like smallpox. Remarkably well-preserved, it offers insight into the experiences of those held in quarantine from the 1880s to the 1960s.

The City of Adelaide Clipper Ship
Launched in 1864, this is one of only two surviving composite clipper ships in the world. It brought hundreds of immigrants to Australia, and today, an estimated 250,000 Australians trace ancestry to its passengers. On board, you'll hear stories of hope, hardship, and survival.

South Australian Maritime Museum
Home to over 20,000 artifacts and images, the museum highlights the region's maritime heritage, including the famous mosquito fleet and rare masthead collections.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Pause at the historic Largs Bay Hotel, once the first stop for many European immigrants, and capture a piece of Australian migration history.

LUNCH
Enjoy a meal at a local pub with menu options like a steak sandwich, vegetarian burger, grilled or battered Dory, Thai salad, or a chicken wrap-all served with chips and followed by dessert (subject to seasonal changes).

SHOPPING
Stroll along Semaphore Road, known for its quirky mix of boutique shops and cafés.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As you explore Adelaide's vibrant cityscape, learn about its unique "convict-free" heritage, founded as a sanctuary from religious and civil persecution-unlike northern Australia's penal colonies.
