Sydney Harbour Bridge

Cruises from Sydney

Kiwis love a good Sydney escape, so why not add a cruise and make it a holiday to remember! With great air connections from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch & Queenstown, a Fly, Stay, Cruise holiday from NZ is amazing value

Sydney has two cruise terminals. The Iconic Overseas Passenger Terminal known as the “OPT” is located at circular quay in downtown Sydney. It is adjacent to the Rocks, Sydney Opera House & Sydney Harbour Bridge. Great public transport links by rail, ferry and light rail.

The second terminal is at White Bay which is under the harbour bridge around a 10 minute drive from the CBD. No public transport links so will require a Taxi or Uber transfer.

Unsure which terminal your cruise is leaving from?
