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.

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.

Onboard these five-star floating hotels, you can expect spacious suites, fine dining, free-flowing wines, indulgent spas and wellness spaces, and impeccable service. You might even have your own butler to cater to your every whim. Top luxury lines sailing from Sydney include Silversea, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, Ponant, Oceania and Crystal Cruises.

Check in times for your cruise will be staggered to cut down on wait times for passengers. The process varies across different cruise lines, but you will be allocated a check in time based on your cabin or given the option to choose a check in slot when you book or through the lines’ app. At a minimum you will need to be at the cruise terminal at least one hour before the ship is scheduled to depart – remember, they won’t wait for you!

There are two ports in Sydney – the Overseas Passenger Terminal and White Bay Cruise Terminal – and you ship won’t necessarily return to the same port you sailed from. Always double check your itinerary or your tickets before your cruise. Sailing on a round trip voyage means you will start and finish in Sydney while a one-way cruise will depart from Sydney and finish in another destination.

Because so many ships sail from Sydney, there are cruises of every length imaginable. Hop aboard for a two-night sampler cruise to get a taste of life at sea, spend a week exploring the Australian coastline or set out for a two- to three-week voyage into the South Pacific and New Zealand.

The most advanced cruise ships in the world sail from Sydney, so you can expect the latest in fun facilities, entertainment and dining onboard. That includes activities like swimming pools, waterslides and waterparks, sports courts, mini adventure parks with rock climbing or flying foxes, and even realistic surfing and indoor skydiving simulators. There will also be multiple restaurants and bars onboard, theatres for live shows and nightclubs for dancing until the small hours.

Whether you fancy a bit of line dancing, an 80s-style disco or a laugh out loud comedy club, there’s a themed cruise to suit your interests departing from Sydney. These cruises tend to be short and focus on a specific theme, like music, an era or a sporting event, and have lots of activities, entertainment and passionate passengers in full costume.

Yes, but there are some conditions. Be aware that there is essentially no free or street parking near either cruise terminal, so you will need to pay for one of the designated lots. For the Overseas Passenger Terminal, Wilson Parking operates a number of secure parking lots nearby in The Rocks and you can book online to guarantee your spot. There is no long term parking at White Bay Cruise Terminal and the closest parking lots are in Darling Harbour, a 10-minute taxi ride away. You can also book a spot through one of the external operators who have parking lots further away from the terminals and provide shuttle bus transfers.

Sydney’s peak cruise season is known among savvy sailors as the Wave Season. It runs from October to April, covering the warmer months and the busy summer school holidays. You can expect to see cruise ships from all over the world bobbing in the harbour at this time of year, often with multiple arrivals and departures each day. Cruises depart from Sydney all year-round however and some lines will have a ship based permanently at the port.
