Experience the magic of camping on a pontoon boat under the stars. Discover the idyllic islands that line the reef, such as Fitzroy Island, an unspoiled paradise with white sand beaches and pristine water, and the Whitsunday Islands, where the famous Whitehaven Beach awaits.

Ships typically dock at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, which is a five-minute walk from the city center. You’ll find ATMs, currency exchange offices, cafes, and restaurants right by the terminal.

Top Sights & Attractions To See Before Cruises From Sydney

Sydney opera house.

The Sydney Opera House is the city’s defining landmark and a fabulous display of modern architecture. The exterior was designed in the shape of the sails of a sailboat, and its unique structure often gleams in the sunlight. The Opera House’s sail shape also provides excellent acoustics for the many performances that occur inside the venue each year, which include opera, ballet, music, comedy, kid shows, inspirational speakers, and more. 

Taronga Zoo

Sydney’s Taronga Zoo is a popular attraction for animal lovers embarking on one of our cruises from Sydney. This award-winning zoo features over 4,000 animals, which includes species that are native to Australia as well as rare and endangered animals. Head up on the Sky Safari, the only cable car in Sydney, for spectacular views.

Bondi Beach

Australia’s most famous beach is also one of its most beautiful. Bondi Beach is only about 15 minutes southeast of Sydney’s city center and provides a quintessential Australian beach-going experience. You’ll find soft golden sand, beachfront restaurants and bars, and lots of surfing and other water sports. 

Manly Beach

Another popular beach to visit in Australia is Manly Beach, especially if you love surfing. Manly Beach was the site of the world’s first surfing contest back in 1964. While its legendary waves along the northern end of the beach at Queenscliff Bommie are only recommended for advanced surfers, the area on the southern end of Manly Beach has great waves for beginner surfers, too.

Top things to do in sydney, climb the sydney harbour bridge.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a heritage-listed bridge made of steel and features a defining arch, and one of the top things to do in Sydney is climb it. You’ll suit up in specially-designed outdoor gear and climb over 400 feet above Sydney Harbour. The bridge is open to vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians to cross or climb.

Enjoy the View from Sydney Tower Eye

Another way to get high above the city is during a ride on the Sydney Tower Eye, which takes you to the highest point in Sydney. You’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the harbor, city skyline, and distant Blue Mountains off the coastline. After you take a ride on the Sydney Tower Eye, you can also visit the observation deck, 4-D cinema, and other exhibits that come included with admission.

Play at Luna Park Sydney

If you’re looking for some family fun before embarking on a cruise from Sydney, head to  Luna Park, a restored amusement park that dates back to the 1930s. Both kids and adults will love going on exhilarating rides, taking a leisurely spin on the Ferris wheel, and gliding down giant slides. During your visit, you’ll also find carnival-style foods and games.

Where c an I eat in Sydney?

Foodies will love Sydney’s international food scene. From ritzy waterfront restaurants to laid-back eateries along one of Sydney’s “eat streets,” the city has it all. For an after-dinner drink, it’s hard to beat a cocktail in one of the sky bars located atop its many skyscrapers. If you’re looking for a gourmet meal in a setting like nowhere else, head to Sixpenny or Bennelong, an elegant restaurant located inside the Sydney Opera House.

What’s the culture and history of Sydney?

Sydney Harbour was originally the home of the aboriginal tribes of Australia. With the arrival of Britain’s First Fleet in 1788, the city of Sydney (named after Lord Sydney, the British Home Secretary at the time) was established as a penal colony of Great Britain. By 1840, the transportation of convicts to the city had ceased. A decade later, the population of the city grew exponentially after a local gold rush. 

Up until 1900, Sydney was the capital of New South Wales, a British colony. But after the Commonwealth of Australia was established in 1901, Sydney became the capital of the state of New South Wales, which joined the Australian Federation. The wild and harsh start of colonial Sydney is now long in the past. Today, you’ll find a vibrant and cosmopolitan city with one of the most diverse populations in the world.

Where can I go shopping near the Sydney cruise port?

You will find an assortment of shopping malls near the Sydney cruise port. Some of the largest are Westfield Sydney, The Galeries, and World Square. For local boutiques, head to the intersection of Oxford Street and Glenmore Road. In the neighborhood of Paddington, you’ll find shops with cutting-edge fashion from new designers. For souvenirs and art, head to The Rocks near the Sydney Opera House, or the Strand for Australian hats and boots. 

How can I get around Sydney?

Sydney has a variety of public transportation options. Its extensive bus route system goes to many of the most popular tourist sites, plus there are a light rail and ferry service. In addition, the Sydney Metro provides fast, frequent service around the city. As for taxis, you’ll find them waiting right outside the Sydney cruise terminal, as well as in taxi ranks all around the city.

What are the local currency and tipping customs?

Australia’s official currency is the Australian dollar. The paper bills come in increments of $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. Credit cards are widely accepted, but traveler’s checks are not. Tipping isn’t expected in Australia, but is appreciated. If you do tip, a smaller amount around 10% is usually acceptable.

I've sailed alone on 8 cruise ships. Here are my top 5 tips for taking a solo cruise.

• I've traveled solo on eight cruise ships  during my time as a travel reporter with Business Insider.
• Taking a cruise alone can be freeing and convenient — if you know how to do it right.
• These are my five top tips for travelers considering a solo cruise.

Traveling alone on a cruise ship can be liberating, convenient, and cheap — so long as you know how to do it right.

If you're reading this, you're likely already interested in traveling solo . You should own this sense of independence: Going alone means you won't have to compromise your itinerary.

But if you're unsure how to approach a solo cruise trip, you've come to the right place. As a well-practiced solo traveler , these are my top five tips for people interested in doing just that.

The majority of my cruises have been inaugural sailings or trips exclusive to media and booking agents.

I've sailed on eight ships across seven cruise lines, from budget to ultra-luxury options .

All but one — Carnival Firenze — was paid for or discounted by the cruise line. 

Because these are work trips, my schedule is often packed from morning to night.

But I always try to find time for myself. After all, there's nothing better than some alone time with unfettered ocean views .

And I've left feeling socially fulfilled despite going alone on all trips.

1. It should go without saying — embrace being alone. Don't be afraid to chat with new people.

If you tend to feel anxious or insecure eating alone at a restaurant, you might feel that same for the first few days of the cruise .

But if there's anything my years of traveling alone have taught me, it's that nobody is judging you.

It could be daunting at first. But past this anxiety, cruising alone provides a great opportunity to make new friends.

If you're there to mingle, head to the bars, pools, or even mini-golf courses .

2. If you prefer some quiet time, stay on the ship during port days.

Port days and the opportunity to explore new destinations are exciting.

But if your priority is having the ship's amenities to yourself, it's also one of the best days to stay put.

Because almost everyone leaves the ship during port days, you should have no problem securing a highly coveted pool chair.

On port days, the lounges, buffets, pools, and popular onboard amenities are nearly empty. So, if you want to chill by a quiet pool with a book and no screaming children in sight, consider spending your port day on the vessel or heading back early.

3. Book your onboard dining as early as possible.

This tip applies to cruisers traveling in groups, too. If you cruise to eat, prioritize booking the specialty restaurants you care about. The sooner you do, the more likely you are to secure your top restaurants and dining times.

This tip applies to shows as well.

During my two-night media sailing on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas , the nighttime comedy shows were almost completely booked when I boarded the ship.

The more proactive you are, the more likely you are to catch the shows you want to see.

4. Make sure the cruise line fits you.

Make the most of your trip by booking a cruise line compatible with your interests. Do your research: Cruise lines target different demographics .

If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful, children-free retreat, for example, consider avoiding a Disney cruise.

Instead, opt for the adults-only Virgin Voyages or Celebrity Cruises .

Or, pay up for more high-end companies like Regent Seven Seas and Silversea . 

5. Check for single-supplement fees.

Some companies charge an additional " single supplement " for solo travelers booking a stateroom designed for more than one guest.

On cruise lines like Silversea , the supplement starts at an additional 25% on top of the base fare. On Royal Caribbean , it could be double the cost of your trip.

Look for solo cabins instead.

Instead of paying this hefty add-on, see whether the cruise line has cabins for solo travelers . Companies like Celebrity and Oceania offer this.

Yes, they can be small. But you could save a significant lump of cash by opting for solo cabins.

But no matter the room, dining, or itinerary you decide to pick, just remember to relax and enjoy your solo time.

Bring a book, grab a drink, and head to an observation lounge. Enjoy the comforts of alone time. It'll certainly be more entertaining on a cruise ship than sitting alone at home.

Cruise to Sydney, Australia

Sydney shore excursions, amazing experiences coming soon., sorry, there are no excursions for this port at this moment., things to do in sydney.

Go in Circles

Sydney Harbour Bridge. Australia.

Circular Quay is the perfect place to start exploring Sydney. You can find the Opera House here, and Harbour Bridge is within walking distance. Stride into one of the many walking and pub tours that leave from here. Just 20 minutes away, you can stretch your legs on the iconic Harbour Bridge walk, the first of its kind in the world.

People enjoying Manly beach in Sydney, Australia

Bondi Beach gets all the attention, but Manly Beach in the Northern Beaches is a bit more local. The Corso is lined with shops and restaurants, including local favorite, Hugo's. If surfing is your thing, this is the place to be. The walk from Spit Bridge to Manly is a fantastic way to soak in the city's coastline.

Walk Watsons

Hop on the ferry or one of the regular buses that go to Watsons Bay to enjoy the scenic hike around South Head. During your journey, you'll enjoy views of Sydney Harbour, North Head, the historic Hornby Lighthouse and, of course, the sapphire-blue Pacific Ocean. The Gap offers breathtaking views of the sea from the rocky cliffside.

Local Cuisine

With all the water surrounding you, it's no surprise seafood takes center stage on many plates in the city. Head to Sydney Fish Market for giant Sydney Rock oysters or classic fish and ships. Stop into a local pie shop for a traditional Australian meat pie, or explore Sydney's international side with udon or ramen noodles at a Japanese noodle bar, or seek out shrimp dumplings in Chinatown.

There are plenty of shopping malls in the heart of the city, including Westfield Mall, Pitt Street Mall and the wonderful Queen Victoria Building, which is now a shopping mall featuring top designers. Seek out cutting boards made from local camphor laurel — they're not only beautiful but also have natural antimicrobial properties. During your Sydney cruise vacation, look for jewelry made from opal, the national gemstone of Australia.
