Overview
Kingston is the historic capital of Norfolk Island, a remote Australian territory located in the South Pacific between Australia and New Zealand. Cruise ships anchor offshore and tender passengers to either Kingston or Cascade, depending on sea conditions. Kingston is a UNESCO-listed site, known for its well-preserved Georgian architecture, convict-era ruins, and sweeping coastal views. It offers a peaceful and culturally rich stop for small cruise vessels exploring Australia’s lesser-known island gems.
The town sits along Kingston Bay and is surrounded by rolling green hills, white-sand beaches, and remnants of early British settlement. Visitors can explore the Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area (KAVHA), swim in the crystal-clear waters of Emily Bay, and hike through subtropical forests in the nearby national park. With its blend of history, nature, and island hospitality, Kingston provides a tranquil and enriching experience for cruise travelers.
Walk through convict-era buildings, cemeteries, and colonial ruins in this UNESCO World Heritage site.
