We will be docking in Newcastle. How far is this from the cruise ship dock?

28 March 2017|

AnswerShow all 4 answers

By car, as the cruise ships get in early morning usually, I'd say 90 mins to Hawkes next on the southern tip of the lakes or 2 hours to Seal Rocks (via the Lakes Way) in the heart of the lakes. All the best.
