Reflect. Respect. Celebrate.

Celebrate Australia Day on Sydney Harbour with our specially curated cruises, offering unbeatable views of the day’s most iconic festivities. From the vibrant Ferrython and Harbour Parade to the breathtaking evening fireworks, this is your chance to immerse yourself in all the excitement.

Our Ferrython & Harbour Parade Cruise starts at 11am, giving you a front-row seat to the thrilling ferry race as Sydney’s Emerald Class ferries dash from the Harbour Bridge to the Opera House.

Along the way, marvel at the Harbour Parade, where boats dressed in colourful decorations compete for best in show. The majestic Tall Ships Race adds a touch of maritime heritage, while the skies come alive with the Royal Australian Air Force’s awe-inspiring aerial display.
