On a Sydney Harbour Cruise—what to Expect

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

You could be sitting in a comfortable deck chair soaking in the sun and sipping a drink (perhaps champagne) as your private luxury cruiser takes you over the serene waters of the Great Barrier Reef on your Sydney Harbour cruise. Across the waters you see in the distance liners, ships, cruisers that cater to the holiday dreams of the ordinary and the rich.

If you board a cruiser and it has just a five or six-member crew, you can fulfill your heartâ??s desiresâ??whether it means lolling on the deck or biting into a gelato or grilled fish or relaxing in a spa. All this holiday means for you is rest. And lots and lots of relaxation.

But thatâ??s not all. Between all your rest and relaxation, youâ??re sure to do some sightseeing tooâ??your captain will make sure you see Port Douglas, the Whitsunday Islands, Cairns, Lizard Island and Michaelmas Cay.

In summer in Sydney, you could go on a voyage through the Coral Sea with breathtaking sights for stopovers in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Torres Strait, the Solomon Islands and the Islands of Eastern New Guine and then return through the outer Great Barrier Reef from Cape York to Hamilton Island.

However, if you wake up early, you could savor a breakfast buffet and the five-star amenities of your state room and then go on to enjoy freshly baked pastries and more over a large brunch. Then, after fighting off much laziness, youâ??ll perhaps sit down on a deck chair with a pair of sun glasses and sunscreen and youâ??ll look far into the ocean length and enjoy the blueness of the waters.

But if you are sporty, you could go in for some windsurfing, snorkeling or scuba diving and enter the marine world. You could fish too and eat your catch for dinner. Or just go swimmingâ??what could be better than that?

For lunch and dinner, enter the bar and dining rooms and while you watch the view of the water from there while you tuck into delicious Japanese, Moroccan and Indonesian cuisinesâ??all under a star filled sky.

Youâ??d be extra fortunate to board a cruiser around New Yearâ??s Eve because of the fantastic fireworks display which begins at midnight for the New yearâ??s Eve Sydney Harbour. This usually begins at 9 p.m. and is followed by the Harbour Light parade. East and West of the Harbour Bridge youâ??ll find a fleet of vessels beautifully decorated with dazzling lights, sailing on a 15 km circuit, from Clarke Island to Cockatoo Island. This is undoubtedly the most sought-after sight here with people milling around to get a glimpse of the action. Once this parade is over, the fleet of vessels goes back to a viewing area from where they can see the fireworks.

And lastly, the piece de resistanceâ??the 12 minutes of color and sound that transform the Harbour with light and sound. Millions of peopleâ??natives and touristsâ??throng to catch the sound and light show that will perhaps stay in their minds all through the year, until the next year rolls along.

So much for your few days on a Sydney Harbour cruise. Will you come aboard again? Who knowsâ??perhaps yes.

Taking a Cruise From Sydney Harbour

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

If you want a holiday that’s fun and cheap, hop on to the Sydney Harbor and get ready for a cruise. With just a bit of planning, you can even take in the historical sights, the cultural tradition, the grand and elegant buildings, and the loads of food choices from all over the world.

The best time to take a cruise from here is in November, which is late spring here. You must remember to take along sweaters, a camera, batteries and memory cards and a hat. The cruise begins at Circular Quay, and it makes sense to arrive here a little earlier than 9 a. m. when it sets sail. Take advantage of a hop-on-hop off cruise ticket and go visit the Taronga Zoo which is mesmerizing with its emus, kangaroos, koalas, birds, wallabies and beautiful flora and fauna. Then, go shopping and then on to Darling Harbour, visit an aquarium and one of the fantastic museums nearby before returning to Circular Quay.

Apart from this, you can also choose from the innumerable ferries that begin at Sydney Harbour and take in the golden beaches, the warm sun, waterside homes, the sound of the water and blooming jacarandas. If you do get on to a ferry, you will experience a form of life of the people of this harbor city. A ferry is a mode of transport here. They set sail at Circular Quay, which is fully equipped with ferry wharves, jetties, a railway station and bus terminals, apart from coffee shops and tourist shops.

Choose to go anywhere from here-Taronga Zoo, Mosman, Neutral Bay, or Manly, if you want to go north. If going southeast is your wish, go to Watsons Bay and Darling Point, or sail westwards to Homebush Bay or Parramatta, Balmain or Gladesville and Parramatta and then cruise around a little before you return to Darling Harbour.

On your cruise, you need to keep an eye out for the Sydney Opera House in the east and the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Rocks district in the west, all very near the Circular Quay jetties. Go all across the waters to the fun and entertainment center-Luna Park, and then on to the Star City casino and entertainment center at Pyrmont Bay and Darling Harbour-something you’re going to love.

You’d be extra fortunate to board a cruiser around New Year’s Eve because of the fantastic fireworks display which begins at midnight for the New year’s Eve Sydney Harbour. This usually begins at 9 p.m. and is followed by the Harbour Light parade.

If you’re a beach bum, Sydney has many fantastic, clean and inviting beaches with a lot of water sports and activities to offer you. Do visit Manly beach, among others. Or if you like you could take a leisurely cruise around the harbor and admire its wonderful and quaint waterside homes and dock at an isolated spot for an exclusive lunch.

Don’t go packed with food and drink. Instead, go under the Harbour Bridge and land up at the Sydney Fish Markets. Get onto the wharf and choose from any of the seafood specialty restaurants and order take-away seafood the way you want it, hot or cold. Then, bite into their amazing selection of fresh water fish delicacies. In fact, here you will find food, food and food what with a fruit and vegetable market and a deli.

Go on the water and take a Sydney Harbour cruise.It’s going to be great fun.
