Departure Time

3:45 PM

Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Make your own way to Campbells Cove jetty, located in the Rocks, the historic neighborhood where Sydney began. After boarding your 1850s-style ship, admire the exquisite restoration work that has rejuvenated this old wooden ship, one of only two tall ships that still sail the waters of Sydney Harbour.

Enjoy the sea breeze and waterfront views as your ship sets sail, passing under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and gliding by Sydney Opera House. Hear the history of Sydney’s transformation from a sleepy colony town to a modern world-class city, and how the tall ships that once filled the harbor facilitated trade across the oceans.

If you like, tap into your inner sailor and help to raise the sails or take the wheel of the ship. Or simply relax on deck and admire Sydney from the water, snapping photos of Shark Island, Fort Denison and Sydney Harbour National Park. Snack on light refreshments served during your cruise.

Your ship returns you to Campbells Cove at the end of your cruise.

Getting back to shore

I have never been on what was billed as a 1.5 hr CRUISE and it turned out we cruised out into the harbor 20 minutes and then parked for 45 min. The ONLY entertainment was watching a father and daughter climb up to the crow’s nest. 20 minutes back and the rip-off is concluded with an empty feeling and a waste of time. I am asking Viator for a refund. This should not be defined as a 90 min cruise.....
