If your idea of a holiday is living the high life from a cruise ship stateroom while you sail around beautiful destinations, this competition has your name on it.

Popular Australian travel company My Cruises is giving one lucky winner and a guest the chance to sail the Amazon, Caribbean and Panama Canal on a 51-night voyage valued at more than $30,000*.

The brand is on the hunt for Australasia’s number one cruise fan – so if you book your next sailing before unpacking from the last one, or book a cruise religiously year after year, you could be what they’re looking for.

So what exactly does the incredible prize get you? You’ll sail for 51 days on Exploration by Norwegian’s Amazon, Caribbean and Panama Canal journey with some epic stops and inclusions along the way.

The prize includes return flights to Vancouver, where the ship departs and back to Australia from Miami, where your journey will end.

Plus, you’ll get a bonus night in Vancouver included so you have a chance to recover and explore city sights like Stanley Park and Granville Island or visit the historic streets of Gastown before you set sail.

Once on board Regatta, the route will stop at a whole host of amazing destinations, including Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, the Cayman Islands and St Lucia, as well as sailing through the famous Panama Canal.

Each port comes with a USD$50 onshore explorations credit per stateroom, to put towards excursions across three categories: Highlights, Local Discovery and Active Adventure.

That could mean ziplining through the treetops in Costa Rica, spotting sloths and toucans as you glide through the Panama Canal, snorkelling with stingrays off Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands, or wandering the colourful streets of Cartagena in Colombia.

And while you’re onboard the ship, you can take advantage of a wide range of entertainment and things to do, from unwinding by the pool on the rooftop deck, visiting the spa or even teeing off at the onboard putting green.

Your sailing package will also include drinks and dining, so you can sip on cocktails, wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks, choose from any of the onboard restaurants and make use of two complimentary speciality dining packages per person.

In the evenings, there’s live music, theatre shows and cultural showcases about the places you’re sailing through.

If you already can’t stop talking about your latest cruise, or reckon a bucket-list trip like this would turn you into a lifelong cruising convert, you could be crowned Australasia’s biggest cruise fan.

The competition is part of CLIA Cruise Month, a month-long celebration of cruising across Australia, New Zealand and beyond that runs every October.

It’s simple to enter: just head to the MyCruise website here and enter your details, then tell them in 50 words or less why you deserve the title of Australasia’s number one cruise fan.

The best part? Even if you don’t win, every entrant will get a $250** voucher to put towards a new holiday booked during Cruise Month.
