Broome is a historic Australian pearling port in the Kimberley region known for its dinosaur footprints and cable beach. It serves as the gateway to the remote northwest of Australia.

The town is famous for the 130-year-old pearling industry, the Staircase to the Moon phenomenon, and the vast red pindan landscape. Cruisers come for the camel rides on Cable Beach, the horizontal waterfalls, and the ancient Aboriginal rock art.

Cultural offerings include the annual Shinju Matsuri Festival with Asian and Aboriginal influences, signature barramundi and pearl meat, and the strong Yawuru Aboriginal heritage. The blend of pearling history, dramatic red-rock scenery, and ancient Indigenous culture makes Broome one of Australia’s most unique and remote cruise stops.
