Australia Day Sydney Harbour Cruises

Lunch and Dinner Cruises on Australia Day

Celebrate Australia Day in a new yet familiar environment – hop on board the Sydney Princess Cruises vessel and head for the Harbour! Experience the magnificent Sydney Harbour with the best seats in the house with the 2022 Australia Day Cruise.

Get the front row seats to Ferrython, one of Australia’s most iconic events. Follow the ferries as they race Barangaroo Wharf to Shark Island, and then back to the Harbour Bridge. Then watch as the Royal Australian Air Force aircraft fly across the sky to celebrate their 100th anniversary, Australian spirit, mateship and sense of community. Finally, to mark the ending of an extraordinary day, raise your eyes to the sky and watch the sensational Australia Day fireworks while our staff serves the extraordinary 3-course dinner.

Australia Day is one of the most important dates in Australian history, with records of celebration dating back more than 2 centuries. The way we celebrate has evolved significantly over time but one thing has always remained – we do our best to spend this day with our loved ones, immersed in a pleasant atmosphere.

Fortunately for you, Sydney Princess Cruises has 2 decades of experience organising Sydney Harbour cruises, specifically Australia Day cruises in Sydney Harbour. Over the years, we strived to make this 3.5-hour journey pleasurable and fun for everyone. And when we say everyone, we really mean it. For years, Sydney Princess Cruises has been the host to families with children of all ages, couples, and individuals. We make arrangements to make Australia Day harbour cruises in Sydney fun and exciting, packed with activities, foods and drinks that all our guests will love and remember fondly.
