Welcome aboard @Suman - I live in the Burnie area on your itinerary, the weather is ok but can still be quite cold that time of year. If you did a day trip to Cradle Mountain you may get to see it dressed with snow

A warm welcome to AFF @Suman.
A nice cruise but advice depends on what cruise line and what excursions they have. Onboard experiences and advice if someone has cruised that line before, And what you are interested in.

Norwegian Spirt from what I can see. Hopefully better than NCL Jewel I was last on - not great.

Anyway, also welcome @Suman.

In general, the weather ought to be decent. Although December is the start of the Cyclone season over on the North West (probably why the itinerary makes a beeline to Freo).

Thank you, cyclone season was a bit concerning

If the ship follows that approximate course to Fremantle, you’d probably comfortably skirt around the west of anything that’s heading towards the Pilbara etc.

Welcome @Suman.

I've just come back from Ponant's "Indonesian Odyssey" which explores eastern Indonesia and gets you to some remote places. It connects to a Kimberley Darwin to Broome expedition which I've also done.
I can't recommend Ponant highly enough - small ships (200 pax), great food and wine, terrific destinations and no hoopla on board.

I’m doing that cruise this December. If you don’t mind, I’ll DM you with some questions.
