i would like to travel to Australia via ship from America, can you do that?

Answer 1

Here's a cruise that leaves in about 10 days that does exactly what you want.:

It is on Princess and though the time for this one is short, it is likely to be run again next year, if not later this year. Then this cruise is run in reverse next year:

And then this is a Holland America cruise to Australia next year:
