Itinerary
Friday
Friendly crew welcomes you at Number 1 King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour. As the city lights begin to shine, depart for a dinner cruise. Tonight the ship will anchor in Farm Cove by the shores of the Botanic Gardens, close to the sails of the Sydney Opera House.
Saturday
Active types can board a tender for a quick trip to Man o’ War Steps beside the Opera House and a cool morning stroll through the Botanic Gardens. Once back on board, healthy appetites tuck in to a hot buffet breakfast before the ship head for the upper reaches of the Parramatta and Lane Cove Rivers. See foreshores and bay sides packed with historic sites, trophy homes and prestige residential developments while your on-board commentator shares stories galore from the past and present.
The afternoon brings you back to town for an on-shore exploration of Sydney’s historic Rocks district. Among immaculately preserved colonial architecture, you will find fabulous market and retail shopping, corner pubs, top art galleries and plenty of busking talent. Then the ship will set sail across the harbour and anchor off the northern foreshore for the Captain’s Dinner and an evening of live music and dancing.
Sunday
The early morning crew is out again, this time for a walk through the bush and the old artillery emplacements on Bradley’s Head. The hike is well worth it for the glorious harbour views from the headland. The mid-morning’s cruise takes you into the territory of Sydney’s rich and famous - the eastern suburbs. Your commentator lays out their history and relates intriguing anecdotes as we sail past huge homes and glamorous yachts bobbing at closely-packed moorings.
At beachside Watson’s Bay, head ashore to explore the charming old fishing village and historic naval establishments which make up this exclusive suburb. You can take a guided walk to The Gap, an optional sea kayak tour around the picturesque bays, or relax in the waterside pub. Once again on board, lunch is served al fresco on the top deck and you will cruise back to Darling Harbour.
