Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the good question. Yes, Century Cruises offer winter cruises around December and the next January, and among all, Century Paragon and Century Legend are both the best family-friendly ships for your consideration. And if you are planning to fly from Gold Coast Australia to China, you can choose flights to Beijing (about 15.5 hours), Shanghai (about 15 hours), and Guangzhou (about 14 hours) which are the main cities with good transportations in China, and those flights needs transfers at Sydney, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, and so on. Besides, there are some flights from Gold coast to Hong Kong which need about 12 hours including some short stop.

Have a nice day!
