Off to Sydney for a long weekend?


One of my favourite experiences in Sydney is a Captain Cook weekend cruise.
Embarkation takes place at Darling Harbour on scheduled Friday afternoons.
Accommodation is a choice of inside twin bunks or outside cabin, both with full facilities.
Everything is taken care of from meals to knowledgeable guest speakers who give an insight into the history of Sydney harbour.

Sit back and relax while discovering the many bays while cruising in sheltered waterways. The views are stunning. Nothing compares to watching a sunset at sea. The vessel is anchored in the evenings.

Wake up to views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera house.
Optional guided walks are included in the price. A walk through the botanical gardens and around Bradleys Head is usually offered in the itinerary. Explore the historic Rocks by foot and check out the colourful markets.

Return to Darling Harbour on Sunday afternoon feeling relaxed and refreshed. Most airlines offer evening flights back to Auckland.
