Visit the South Bank Parklands, where you can relax by the man-made Streets Beach, stroll through lush gardens, and enjoy a variety of dining options. Explore the cultural precinct, home to the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art. For a panoramic view of the city, climb the Story Bridge or take a leisurely cruise along the Brisbane River. The lively Queen Street Mall offers excellent shopping, while nearby Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary lets you get up close with Australia's iconic wildlife.

Savour fresh sashimi at Kai Sushi, enjoy street performers in the dazzling Atrium, or catch a lavish show in the theatre. How about immersing yourself in a traditional Japanese bathing experience at the Izumi Japanese Bath, the largest at sea?

Newcastle is a picturesque harbor city located less than 100 miles north of Sydney. Cruise ships dock at the terminal.

Top Things to Do in Newcastle:

  • Newcastle Memorial Walk - a walkway dedicated to those lost in World War I
  • picturesque boardwalk to Nobby’s Beach and Lighthouse
  • get out on the Water at Lake Macquarie
  • take a Ride on the Newcastle Tram
  • tour Fort Scratchley or the Newcastle Museum

Love Sabatini’s? (Or really good Italian dinners?) You’ll be happy to hear this popular specialty restaurant has returned to its roots. Think traditional Italian comfort cuisine. Our new menu embraces the old: tried-and-true family recipes our chefs brought with them from Italy, plus exquisite Italian wines and cocktails. You can even enjoy some shareable plates exclusively at Sabatini’s Trattoria.

Arrives: 6:00 AM

Ships arriving into Sydney typically dock at Circular Quay, or the White Bay Cruise Terminal, slightly farther west. From Circular Quay, you can easily access the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Royal Botanic Garden. Public transport options include trains, buses, and ferries. White Bay passengers can take a shuttle or taxi to reach key attractions like Darling Harbour and The Rocks, known for their shops, restaurants, and historical sites.

Global Journeys were very helpful. Most ports were enjoyable visiting with Dunedin being a very pleasant surprise. Very disappointed missing the Milford Sound because of a threatened storm in the Tasman Sea.
Enjoyable South East Asia 13 , Australia, Dec 2023
The cruise itself was great and the reserve dining was fantastic. Great food and great service. Only downside was the chaos of boarding the ship in Singapore. This was a surprise because normally Singapore is a pretty efficient place but boarding was a total mess. Took hours and the system was a shambles. No priority boarding for suite holders and even ...read more luggage drop off took almost an hour which was madness. Once onboard all was fine.
