The Spirits of the Red SandCultural Performance

Story of Colonization’s Effect on Australia’s Indigenous People Immerse yourself in Aboriginal history for perspective on how colonization affected Australia’s Indigenous people. Based on historical events, Spirits of the Red Sand tells the moving story of three Aboriginal brothers who lived during Britain’s colonization of Australia in the 19th century. Set among meticulously reconstructed historical locations, the performance brings its moving tale to life through dramatic storytelling; traditional songs, dances and chants help weave its story of life during this tumultuous time in Australian history. Adding to this tale’s authenticity, all of the Indigenous actors are direct descendants of Australian Aboriginal “mobs,” or families; their ancestors experienced many of the events depicted in the show. Following the performance, enjoy a delicious bush tucker–inspired Australian barbecue dinner and a dessert buffet before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
