VDL-C Cruise 2026
WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF THE 2026 VAN DIEMEN’S LAND CIRCUMNAVIGATION (VDL-C) CRUISE
If a challenging cruise in company circumnavigating Tasmania with experienced, friendly people, appeals to your sense of adventure, then don’t delay in registering your interest in this unique and unforgettable event.
Don’t be put off by the fact that this event is currently oversubscribed. It’s still worth lodging an Expression of Interest because vessels will drop out between now and the departure date, so you may well be able to join the fleet.
The Hobart fleet will leave on Wednesday 11th February 2026, and the Port Phillip and Mainland fleet will leave from Queenscliff on Wednesday 18th February 2026. It follows an anticlockwise route around the island that allows plenty of time for relaxation, social occacions, exploring, and sheltering from inclement weather.
On this page, you’ll find links to an Expression of Interest, a route map, newsletters with helpful information, safety requirements, and other useful information.
