Catch a wave at Bondi, shop ‘til you drop in the city or sip a long black in the vibrant inner west before a cruise from Sydney.

When cruising from Sydney’s deep-water port in the heart of the city, you can explore it all before or after your next Sydney cruise with Princess.

New Zealand Cruises

Cruise from Sydney and head ‘across the ditch’ to New Zealand, Australia’s closest neighbour. Sample award-winning wines in Picton, discover rich Māori heritage in the Bay of Islands or explore Tolkien’s mythical Middle Earth.

Australia Cruises

Cruising from Sydney allows you to explore the very best of Australia – including its rich culture and diverse landscape. Dive the Great Barrier Reef, browse Hobart’s Salamanca Markets or tantalise your tastebuds in the Barossa Valley and Margaret River wine regions. From bustling cities to deserted outback, coastal paradise to craggy peaks to lush rainforest, Australia is a land that has it all.

Australia Seacations

One of the wonderful things about Australia is the fact that you don’t have to go far to see something new. If you’re short on time, short cruises from Sydney allow you to explore some of the country’s highlights. On 2 or 3-day cruises from Sydney, browse Melbourne’s boutique stores and laneways, see a koala at Brisbane’s Australia Zoo or kick back and relax on the Gold Coast.

Papua New Guinea

Located off the north coast of Australia, the rugged paradise of Papua New Guinea is the perfect destination for those who want to head off the beaten track. On a cruise from Sydney, relax on Alotau’s immaculate white-sand beaches, or dive the Conflict Islands’ pristine reef system to uncover the intriguing marine life within. You’ll soon realize that Papua New Guinea is a place that’s not easily forgotten.

Tasmania Cruises

Located just off Australia’s mainland, Tasmania offers plenty to explore on your next cruise from Sydney. Stroll through bustling Hobart and sample some of the local produce, then uncover the state’s history as a penal colony at Port Arthur. Trek Tassie’s wilderness on a hike of Cradle Mountain, or marvel at the beauty of Freycinet Peninsula. Whether on a short cruise getaway or a longer trip, Tasmania is simply a must-see.

South America Cruises

From the balmy jungles of South America to the icy terrains of Antarctica, revel in the best of both worlds on a cruise from Sydney. In Puntarenas, learn how Starbucks coffee beans are harvested at the company’s only farm. Walk past pyramids in Huatulco, and uncover treasures of Mesoamerica. Or ascend to Corcovado Mountain and visit one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, the Christ the Redeemer statue.

Tahiti & South Pacific Cruises

On cruises from Sydney, step into paradise as you uncover the mesmerising beauty of Tahiti and the islands of the South Pacific.

Kayak within a secret oasis at Vanuatu’s Mystery Island, wander colourful markets in Fiji’s Lautoka or discover rich French Polynesian culture in Tahiti.

Asia Cruises

Home to ancient civilizations and long-standing traditions, Asia welcomes you to explore age-old cultures. Learn the art of Thai dancing in Bangkok, navigate the Cu Chi tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City or discover 8,000-year-old history at the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Between the landmarks and local connections, experience a sensory experience unlike any other on a cruise from Sydney to Asia.

Why the best way to see Australia is on a cruise

K nown for its epic road and rail trips through the vast, open countryside of the dusty Outback , Australia is often overlooked by Brits as a cruise destination. Yet the world’s largest island has over 37,000 miles of coastline fronting the Southern, Pacific and Indian Oceans, plus various smaller seas. Even the locals know the appeal of the sea, with 85 per cent of Australians living within 50km of the coast.

As a result, almost every kind of cruise imaginable can be found here; be it on a mega-ship with stacks of facilities; a boutique brand with a more refined air; a luxurious riverboat; or an expedition ship that can venture to truly out-of-the-way places. And with most of Australia's key attractions and cities scattered around its fringes, explorations by cruise (preferably topped and tailed with land-based touring) can pack any number of Down Under wonders into a single trip.

I've been lucky enough to visit Australia more than a dozen times, and some of my greatest memories are of experiences that I've had from the deck of a ship. I once set sail to New Zealand from Sydney, with the tiles atop the Opera House gleaming in the sunshine as we passed, and far from land on the Great Barrier Reef, I leaned over the railings to marvel at its underwater patchwork of cobalt and turquoise in an otherwise midnight-blue sea. 

Perhaps the most incredible experience of all was a cruise in the Kimberley : the little-visited wilderness region at the top of Western Australia. It's vast and sparsely populated – bigger than Britain but with fewer residents than a mid-sized English town – and its attractions are so remarkable that they would be crowded with visitors were they easier to access. But on a small-ship sailing with Coral Expeditions, I was one of just 120 guests exploring the waterfalls, reefs and ancient rock art for which the Kimberley is famed.

At the uninhabited Lacepede Islands, we saw seabirds and turtles in mind-boggling numbers. In Talbot Bay, we powered through one-of-a-kind Horizontal Falls in a Zodiac. And at Montgomery Reef, we watched a coral-encrusted plateau seemingly rise from the sea on a falling tide. 

It wasn’t only the epic landscapes and their intriguing wildlife – humpback whales, lemon sharks, saltwater crocs – that impressed. Etched in my memory is the experience of first seeing the Wandjina (ancient rock art). These alien beings stare down from rock art galleries across the region: a symbol of the oldest continuous culture on the planet, and of the Indigenous people's long connection to the land. A land littered with surprises best experienced by boat. 

Classic Kimberley 

Remote, isolated and with little infrastructure for land-based journeys, there are few parts of the world as suited to expedition cruises as the Kimberley. Explore it with Coral Expeditions – the pioneers of cruising in the region – on a formula perfected over four decades of operations. Itineraries are timed to experience key sites at optimal tidal phases: expect to see Montgomery Reef being drained by dozens of miniature cascades, and Horizontal Falls at its powerful best.

How to do it

Ten-night cruises between Darwin and Broome with Coral Expeditions operate between April and September and cost from £3,965pp; excludes flights.

Aussie icons

Sydney Opera House and the Great Barrier Reef are two of Australia’s most recognisable icons. Experience both with Princess Cruises, whose journeys up the eastern seaboard from Sydney to tropical North Queensland stop in Cairns for reef and Daintree Rainforest excursions, and Airlie Beach, gateway to the gorgeous Whitsunday Islands. 

How to do it 

A 16-night Sydney & Queensland Showcase cruise-and-stay from Cruise Kings (0800 197 8050) includes an 11-night round-trip cruise from Sydney aboard Majestic Princess and a three-night pre-cruise Sydney stay from £2,799pp. Departs January 26 & March 26 2024;  departs September 8 2023; includes flights. . 

Southern comforts

Make the festive season extra-special on a cruise along Australia’s entire south coast, taking in nine ports of call. Esperance, Adelaide, Cape Le Grand National Park and Kangaroo Island are among the highlights, with shore excursion that include wine tastings and local wildlife sightings. Better still, spend Christmas Day at sea before arriving in Sydney for a two-night stay that coincides with New Year’s Eve.

The 14-night Australia Intensive Voyage from Perth to Melbourne with Azamara Cruises (0344 4934016) departs December 21 2023 & December 20 2024 and costs from £2,859pp. Excludes flights. 

Over the top 

Nobody is more qualified to share Australia’s stories than its traditional owners and custodians. On a voyage through remote Barrier Reef islands en route to Cape York and Arnhem Land, you will meet indigenous Torres Strait islanders and other Aboriginal peoples to experience their culture, art and homelands, including Garig Gunak Barlu National Park. Along the way, spy dugongs, turtles, saltwater crocodiles and the birdlife of Kakadu’s wetlands.

A 13-night Australia's Top End cruise from Cairns to Darwin with Scenic (0808 273 6069; scenic.co.uk ) departs April 28 2024 and costs from £11,108pp. Excludes flights. 

Murray river flow 

River cruises are rare down under, ­making an active experience on the mighty Murray – the nation’s principal waterway – all the more remarkable. Murray River Trails offers short cruises aboard a 12-berth houseboat, with a daily programme of guided walks and activities. The small-group, into-the-wild nature of the experience lends itself to wildlife encounters, with sightings of echidnas, emus, koalas and ­unusual native birds all possible. It is a fascinating insight into authentic inland Australia.

The three-night Murray River Walk departs May–Sep and costs from £1,500pp. Excludes flights. 

Kim and swim

The Kimberley may have beguiling blue waters, but dips in the sea are foolhardy (and forbidden) due to the dangerous saltwater crocodiles that call the region home. Sidestep that inconvenience on a voyage with Ponant, which combines classic Kimberley elements ­(Montgomery Reef, Horizontal Falls) with the little-visited Rowley Shoals – one of the world’s most sensational snorkelling and diving destinations. Located west of Broome, in the Timor Sea, these croc-free coral atolls brim with colourful sea life.

An eight-night cruise round-trip from Broome departs September 8 2023 and costs from £11,835pp through Mundy Adventures (020 7399 7630; mundyadventures.co.uk ); includes flights. 

Queensland immersion 

Take a deep dive down under on a Great Barrier Reef & Beyond itinerary with Windstar Cruises. This holiday is particularly good for wildlife-lovers. Look out for wedge-tailed shearwaters, sooty terns and noddies while passing Willis Island; spot dingoes on sandy Fraser Island; and cuddle a koala at Australia Zoo (established by the late Steve Irwin). Show-stopping Whitehaven Beach is an unforgettable trip highlight.

An 11-night sailing from Cairns to Melbourne with Windstar Cruises (0808 178 2233; windstarcruises.com ) departs December 6 2023 and costs from £7,499pp. Includes flights and pre-cruise overnight in Cairns. 

Western wonders 

Unlike the Barrier Reef, which clings to the continental shelf, magnificent Ningaloo Reef fringes Western Australia’s coast. Discover it and the archipelagos of Abrolhos, Monte Bello and Dampier on a small-ship expedition that mixes snorkelling and shipwrecks with whale-watching and indigenous rock art. Enhance the experience by foraging and fishing for mud crabs and oysters, or take sightseeing to new heights in the ship’s helicopter. 

How to do it  

The 10-night West Coast Explorer cruise with True North sails from Fremantle to Dampier on March 7 2024 and costs from £12,208pp. Excludes flights

Island state

Raw nature meets colonial history and premium produce in Tasmania, not to mention one-of-a-kind wildlife such as white wallabies and Tasmanian devils. Sip local cool-climate wines and visit the likes of Bruny Island and Wineglass Bay while sailing from Hobart. The cruise is complemented with a self-drive exploration of the island’s west and north coast regions.

A 17-night holiday with Tasmanian Odyssey (01534 735449) combining Coral Expeditions' 10-night Coastal Wilds or Coastal Treks cruise with a 7-night self-drive land tour costs from £5,475pp. Departs Jan–Feb 2024 & 2025; excludes flights. 

All the way

Go all out and see more of the continent on a full circumnavigation of the vast island. Sail the Coral, Timor and Tasman Seas, the Indian Ocean and the Great Australian Bight on an odyssey starting and finishing in Sydney. Travelling via every coastal state and territory, ports of call include cosmopolitan Melbourne, tropical Darwin, lively Fremantle and Phillip Island with its unforgettable koala and penguin encounters. 

A 34-night Australian Panorama sailing with Oceania Cruises is available through Mundy Cruising (020 7399 7670; mundycruising.co.uk ) from £8,729pp, including flights. Departs December 22 2024.

Sydney Sweeney and Fiancé Jonathan Davino Are All Smiles as They Arrive in Los Angeles Together: Photo

PEOPLE confirmed that Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino were engaged back in March 2022

VEGAN / BACKGRID

Sydney Sweeney and her fiancé Jonathan Davino are traveling in style.

Sweeney, 26, and Davino, whom the Anyone But You star has been in a relationship with dating back to 2018, were seen smiling together as they arrived at an airport in Los Angeles on Friday, April 26. Davino could be seen holding Sweeney close as the couple walked through the airport. Both wore sunglasses while Sweeney pushed a suitcase and Miu Miu bag along with her.

The couple first stepped out together and sparked romance rumors in 2018 when they attended Hulu's 2018 Emmy party together. PEOPLE learned that Sweeney and Davino were engaged in March 2022 after she was seen wearing a diamond ring earlier that year, but neither the actress-producer or her fiancé have ever publicly confirmed their engagement.

Public interest in Sweeney and Davino's relationship grew significantly during 2023 as she filmed and promoted her romantic comedy Anyone But You with her costar Glen Powell . She and Powell, 35, experienced significant fan speculation that they engaged in an offscreen relationship after Powell and his ex-girlfriend  Gigi Paris   broke up  in April 2023 some time after the rom-com wrapped filming in Australia.

Anyone But You proved a significant box office hit ; both Powell and Sweeney recently told The New York Times they felt those rumors ultimately worked in their favor .

"I was in text group chats. I was probably keeping everybody over at Sony marketing and distribution awake at night because I couldn’t stop with ideas,” she told the outlet. “I wanted to make sure that we were actively having a conversation with the audience as we were promoting this film, because at the end of the day, they’re the ones who created the entire narrative.”

Sweeney gave rare insight into her personal life with Davino in a December 2023 interview with Glamour UK , in which she said rumors about her fiancé being "a restaurateur" or "the heir of a pizza company" are untrue.

“ I’ve been in a steady relationship for a really long time , which is not normal in this industry and not normal for my age," she said. "What I’ve noticed about the idea of celebrity is people really love to build someone up, and then tear them down.”

At the time, the actress also told Glamour UK that she "definitely will get married one day," though she did not specifically confirm her engagement to Davino. Sweeney's most recent film Immaculate is in theaters now.

Annual inflation slows to 3.6 per cent as higher than expected price rise in March quarter rules out early rate cut hopes

Inflation has come in higher than expected during the March quarter, dampening expectations of interest rate cuts later in the year.

The latest Consumer Price Index data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed prices increased by 1 per cent during the March quarter, leaving the annual inflation rate at 3.6 per cent.

Economists had expected inflation to increase by 0.8 per cent in the March quarter, and by 3.5 per cent annually.

Despite prices increasing by 1 per cent during the first three months of the year, the ABS's head of price statistics, Michele Marquardt, said annual inflation is continuing to fall from its peak in 2022.

"While prices continued to rise for most goods and services, annual CPI inflation was down from 4.1 per cent last quarter and has fallen from the peak of 7.8 per cent in December 2022," she said.

Although inflation is moderating, Wednesday's data has reduced the likelihood of the Reserve Bank of Australia cutting interest rates later this year.

"We still think that the next move from the RBA will be a cut rather than a hike, we know that the current cash rate is in restrictive territory, but we also think that activity will start to improve this year as well," said Catherine Birch, a senior economist at ANZ.

"You can't write off the possibility of the next move being a hike rather than a cut, but we think it's a low possibility at this stage."

AMP deputy chief economist Diana Mousina agrees that the data for the March quarter has effectively ruled out rate cuts in the coming months.

"This inflation data will certainly renew some of that debate around whether we actually need to see higher interest rates," Ms Mousina said.

"We don't think we will see a further rate hike from here, I just don't think it's necessary, but the quarterly inflation data does mean that the risk of a near-term rate cut has absolutely disappeared."

Rising insurance premiums and childcare fees 

The ABS data showed that education, health, housing and food were the "most significant" contributors to the increase during the March quarter, with the quarterly rise in housing mostly driven by rents and new homes purchased by owner-occupiers.

Insurance premiums rose by 16.4 per cent annually — making it the strongest annual increase in 23 years.

Childcare prices also rose by 3.9 per cent in the March quarter, with Commonwealth Bank economist Stephen Wu noting "the increase in childcare subsidies only has a temporary impact on households' out-of-pocket expenses because of subsequent fee increases".

"Fee increases over the past two quarters have been large and have halved the benefit from higher subsidies introduced just six months ago," he said.

Wednesday's data also showed pharmaceutical products had increased by 7.1 per cent in the first three months of the year, which the ABS attributed to the annual resetting of the Medicare Safety Net and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme on January 1.

"While pharmaceuticals normally rise solidly in the March quarter and subsequently fall over the following quarters, this was the largest increase in more than a decade," Mr Wu said.

Recreation and culture prices also declined by 0.1 per cent in the March quarter, and were essentially flat over the year.

Meanwhile, underlying inflation, which is the Reserve Bank of Australia's preferred measure of inflation, was 4 per cent over the past year — down from 4.2 per cent in the December quarter.

Although prices are moderating in some categories and falling in others, Ms Birch said the RBA would be particularly concerned by an uptick in services inflation.

"What's quite concerning is that services inflation has actually accelerated on a quarterly basis and non-tradeables inflation (including rents, education and insurance) is still running too high as well, and they will certainly be in focus for the RBA," she said.

When will rates start being cut?

Callam Pickering, economist at global job site Indeed, said Wednesday's data is proof that inflation remains a key challenge for the economy.

"While inflation is coming down, consumer prices rose faster in early 2024 than anticipated, it's a sobering reminder that the battle against inflation isn't yet won," he said.

"These figures suggest that inflation may be above the RBA's inflation expectations by mid-year, which reduces the probability of a rate cut this year.

"In their February Statement on Monetary Policy, the RBA expected headline inflation to be 3.3 per cent by mid-year but following the March figures it's difficult to see that being achieved."

Westpac chief economist and former RBA assistant governor Luci Ellis expects the central bank will keep biding its time and leave rates unchanged at its meeting in May.

"We ... do not expect any change to the messaging about not ruling anything in or out for another few months," she said.

"Given the slower progress on disinflation this quarter ... we now expect the first rate cut to occur after the November meeting, rather than September as previously expected."

However, chief economist at IMF, Alex Joiner, said the data went against the central bank's assertion in March that inflation had been coming in "broadly as expected" and makes "late year rate cuts even more uncertain".

"While inflation moving towards the RBA's target is positive, it does not solve the cost of living concerns impacting the consumer," he said.

"Inflation is cumulative. Prices, as measured by the CPI, are up 20.4 per cent since mid 2019 and it will take a prolonged period of real wage growth before households feel at all comfortable with what is a permanently higher average price level."

Cost-of-living challenges in focus ahead of budget

The higher-than-expected increase to consumer prices in the March quarter comes as Treasurer Jim Chalmers finalises the upcoming federal budget ahead of its delivery on May 14.

Mr Chalmers said while Wednesday's figures showed the economy was making "progress" against inflation, the annual rate of 3.6 per cent was "still too high".

"It is encouraging to see inflation continue to ease in our economy, particularly when it is ticking up in other parts of the world and at a time of heightened global uncertainty, made worse by the recent escalation of the conflict in the Middle East," he said.

"The impact of these global factors and the shifting balance of risks from inflation to growth are key considerations as we finalise the budget over the coming weeks."

Mr Chalmers reiterated that the upcoming budget would "seek to balance the ongoing fight against inflation with the need to gear our economy for growth".

Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor said Wednesday's consumer price data showed inflation was "too high", and accused the government of not "taking inflation seriously" with three weeks to go before handing down the federal budget.

However, Mr Chalmers signalled the upcoming stage 3 tax cuts, due to come into effect on July 1, would provide cost-of-living relief for households, and did not rule out the possibility of additional measures in the budget.

"We will consider additional help on top of that if it's affordable, if it's responsible and if it helps take some of the edge off inflation in our economy," he said.

But the looming stage 3 tax cuts pose a risk to inflation and the RBA's rate cut timeline, according to Moody's Analytics economist Harry Murphy Cruise.

"Those tax cuts will add money to the economy at the same time the RBA is trying to take it out," he said.

"What's more, a chunk of progress on inflation has come from temporary government rebates that will eventually unwind.

"Those aren't deal-breakers for the RBA, but they will delay rate cuts.

"We had expected the first rate cut to come in September. Increasingly, it's looking like we'll have to wait until November."

The following table reconciles expected automotive net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP to expected adjusted automotive free cash flow (dollars in billions):

General Motors Company and Subsidiaries Supplemental Material 1 (Unaudited)

General Motors Company (GM) uses both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP financial measures for operational and financial decision making, and to assess Company and segment business performance. Our non-GAAP measures include: earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted, presented net of noncontrolling interests; earnings before income taxes (EBT)-adjusted for our General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial) segment; earnings per share (EPS)-diluted-adjusted; effective tax rate-adjusted (ETR-adjusted); return on invested capital-adjusted (ROIC-adjusted) and adjusted automotive free cash flow. GM's calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related U.S. GAAP measures.

These non-GAAP measures allow management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions to understand operating performance without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures allow investors the opportunity to measure and monitor our performance against our externally communicated targets and evaluate the investment decisions being made by management to improve ROIC-adjusted. Management uses these measures in its financial, investment and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. Further, our Board of Directors uses certain of these, and other measures, as key metrics to determine management performance under our performance-based compensation plans. For these reasons, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful for our investors. 

EBIT-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Net income attributable to stockholders)   EBIT-adjusted is presented net of noncontrolling interests and is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated operating results because it excludes automotive interest income, automotive interest expense and income taxes as well as certain additional adjustments that are not considered part of our core operations. Examples of adjustments to EBIT include, but are not limited to, impairment charges on long-lived assets and other exit costs resulting from strategic shifts in our operations or discrete market and business conditions, and certain costs arising from legal matters. For EBIT-adjusted and our other non-GAAP measures, once we have made an adjustment in the current period for an item, we will also adjust the related non-GAAP measure in any future periods in which there is an impact from the item. Our corresponding measure for our GM Financial segment is EBT-adjusted because interest income and interest expense are part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the segment. 

EPS-diluted-adjusted   (Most comparable GAAP measure: Diluted earnings per common share)  EPS-diluted-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated diluted EPS results on a consistent basis. EPS-diluted-adjusted is calculated as net income attributable to common stockholders-diluted less adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted and certain income tax adjustments divided by weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted. Examples of income tax adjustments include the establishment or release of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

ETR-adjusted   (Most comparable GAAP measure: Effective tax rate)   ETR-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review the consolidated effective tax rate for our core operations on a consistent basis. ETR-adjusted is calculated as Income tax expense less the income tax related to the adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted and the income tax adjustments noted above for EPS-diluted-adjusted divided by Income before income taxes less adjustments. When we provide an expected adjusted effective tax rate, we do not provide an expected effective tax rate because the U.S. GAAP measure may include significant adjustments that are difficult to predict. 

ROIC-adjusted   (Most comparable GAAP measure: Return on equity)   ROIC-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our investment and capital allocation decisions. We define ROIC-adjusted as EBIT-adjusted for the trailing four quarters divided by ROIC-adjusted average net assets, which is considered to be the average equity balances adjusted for average automotive debt and interest liabilities, exclusive of finance leases; average automotive net pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) liabilities; and average automotive net income tax assets during the same period.

Adjusted automotive free cash flow   (Most comparable GAAP measure: Net automotive cash provided by operating activities)   Adjusted automotive free cash flow is used by management and can be used by investors to review the liquidity of our automotive operations and to measure and monitor our performance against our capital allocation program and evaluate our automotive liquidity against the substantial cash requirements of our automotive operations. We measure adjusted automotive free cash flow as automotive operating cash flow from operations less capital expenditures adjusted for management actions. Management actions can include voluntary events such as discretionary contributions to employee benefit plans or nonrecurring specific events such as a closure of a facility that are considered special for EBIT-adjusted purposes.

Vehicle Sales

GM presents both wholesale and total vehicle sales data to assist in the analysis of our revenue and market share. Wholesale vehicle sales data consists of sales to GM's dealers and distributors as well as sales to the U.S. government and excludes vehicles sold by our joint ventures. Wholesale vehicle sales data correlates to GM's revenue recognized from the sale of vehicles, which is the largest component of Automotive net sales and revenue. In the three months ended March 31, 2024 , 26.0% of GM's wholesale vehicle sales volume was generated outside the U.S. The following table summarizes wholesale vehicle sales by automotive segment (vehicles in thousands):

Total vehicle sales data represents: (1) retail sales (i.e., sales to consumers who purchase new vehicles from dealers or distributors); (2) fleet sales (i.e., sales to large and small businesses, governments and daily rental car companies); and (3) certain vehicles used by dealers in their business. Total vehicle sales data includes all sales by joint ventures on a total vehicle basis, not based on our percentage ownership interest in the joint venture. Certain joint venture agreements in China allow for the contractual right to report vehicle sales of non- GM trademarked vehicles by those joint ventures, which are included in the total vehicle sales we report for China . While total vehicle sales data does not correlate directly to the revenue GM recognizes during a particular period, we believe it is indicative of the underlying demand for GM's vehicles. Total vehicle sales data represents management's good faith estimate based on sales reported by our dealers, distributors and joint ventures; commercially available data sources such as registration and insurance data; and internal estimates and forecasts when other data is not available.

The following table summarizes industry and GM total vehicle sales and GM's  related competitive position by geographic region (vehicles in thousands):

As discussed above, total vehicle sales and market share data provided in the table above includes fleet vehicles. Certain fleet transactions, particularly sales to daily rental car companies, are generally less profitable than retail sales to end customers. The following table summarizes estimated fleet sales and those sales as a percentage of total vehicle sales (vehicles in thousands):
