However, the period from December to March, popularly known as the &#8216;Wave Season, is when the cruise fanatics come out, thanks to the infinite choice of itineraries, vessels, and departures. Make sure to be prepared for the Australian weather. Summers can be scorching hot, so sunglasses, sunscreen, and water bottles are must-haves.

Some of the most prominent cruise operators such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/holland-america\">Holland America<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/royal-caribbean\">Royal Caribbean<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/princess-cruises\">Princess<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/norwegian-cruise-line\">NCL <\/a>offer trips from Sydney. The award-winning cruise operator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/celebrity-cruises\">Celebrity Cruises<\/a> also has various itinerary options from Sydney. whilst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/p-o\">P&amp;O Cruises<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruises\/carnival-cruise-line\">Carnival <\/a>also provide a long list of affordable packages to the region&#8217;s most popular destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where do cruises from <strong>Sydney<\/strong> go to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Most cruises sailing from Sydney will head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/australasia-cruises\">New Zealand<\/a> or the islands of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/pacific-cruises\">South Pacific<\/a>. Cross the Tasman Sea to witness the extraordinary mountain ranges of Fiordland National Park in the Southwest of New Zealand or opt for the islands of the South Pacific where New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Fiji stun with indigenous culture, paradise beaches, and jungle hiking. Go a little further to reach French Polynesia and discover its coral-clad lagoons and bungalow hotels. Some cruises stay domestic and voyage along the coast of Queensland, letting you see the lush vegetation of Australia&#8217;s largest tropical rainforest&nbsp;\u2014 the Daintree Rainforest. Just off the coast, you will find plenty of opportunities to dive in the Great Barrier Reef and explore its&nbsp;wealth&nbsp;of animal species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should you do whilst you\u2019re in<\/strong> <strong><strong>Sydney<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">From architecture to food and luxurious cruises, Sydney is filled to the brim with things to do and see. Sydney is Australia&#8217;s largest city and attracts over 30 million tourists every year, making it the most visited city in the country. There&#8217;s something for everyone in this magnificent city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It simply won&#8217;t be a Sydney trip if you miss the iconic Sydney Opera House. This world-heritage-listed building is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Australia. Mesmerizing when you see it up close, the building becomes even more stunning when it is illuminated at night. You can even tour the Opera House, as it is always filled with shows and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you want to go shopping and stock up on souvenirs, Paddy&#8217;s Markets is the perfect spot for you. It is Sydney&#8217;s largest market, with more than a thousand stalls between Flemington and Haymarket. As the go-to destination for affordable souvenirs and novelty items, it delights its visitors with a lively atmosphere and delicious food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Enjoy the scenic beauty of Sydney&#8217;s Royal Botanic Gardens. This place is the oldest scientific institution as well as the oldest botanical garden in Australia. You won&#8217;t just find beautiful plants, as you can also learn amazing facts about the botanical history of Australia. This botanical treasure is just a few minutes away from the Opera House, making it the perfect spot to visit during a performance intermission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You can also check out the Coney Island area, filled with slideshow games, retro fun, and a mirror maze. Sydney is a hot spot for museums where you can find historical collections from across the globe. The Hyde Park Barracks Museum, The Powerhouse Museum, and The Australian Museum are our top three. For the food connoisseurs, Circular Quay is the ultimate destination. You&#8217;ll have plenty of gourmet dining options such as the Tapavino, Yayoi Garden, and the ARIA. You can dine while watching the scenic backdrop of the sparkly Sydney Harbour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paramountcruises.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sydney-1.jpg\" alt=\"Holland America Noordam sailing to Sydney\" class=\"wp-image-1328\" style=\"width:900px;height:473px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sydney-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sydney-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sydney-1-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sydney-1-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sydney-1-750x394.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sydney-1-1140x599.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Extend Your Stay?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Once Sydney has cast its spell on you, you might be tempted to venture a little further. Why not explore the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne? You&#8217;ll love the coastal ride while marvelling at Australia&#8217;s natural wonders. Since you are already in Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns are just a short flight away. You can check out Brisbane&#8217;s go-to spots, such as the Story Bridge, Roma Street Parkland, and the Botanic Garden. If you opt for Cairns, be sure to see the Crystal Cascades and the rainforests around the Kuranda Village. Adelaide is another wonderful destination to experience exotic Australian wildlife at Kangaroo Island or watch whales on the Fleurieu Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Book your Sydney excursions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/city.frame\" data-gyg-location-id=\"200\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-US\" data-gyg-widget=\"city\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"N4VQ8DS\" data-gyg-placement=\"content-end\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Known as the &#8217;emerald city,&#8217; Sydney is one of Australia&#8217;s most cosmopolitan and diverse destinations, famous for its yacht-studded harbour, iconic Opera house, theatre shows, and superb beaches. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1330,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override":[{"template":"1","single_blog_custom":"","parallax":"1","fullscreen":"1","layout":"right-sidebar","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"top","share_float_style":"share-monocrhome","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_prev_next_post":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[52],"class_list":["post-1320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destinations","tag-port-guide"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
