Top Sights & Attractions To See Before Cruises From Sydney
Sydney opera house.
The Sydney Opera House is the city’s defining landmark and a fabulous display of modern architecture. The exterior was designed in the shape of the sails of a sailboat, and its unique structure often gleams in the sunlight. The Opera House’s sail shape also provides excellent acoustics for the many performances that occur inside the venue each year, which include opera, ballet, music, comedy, kid shows, inspirational speakers, and more.
Taronga Zoo
Sydney’s Taronga Zoo is a popular attraction for animal lovers embarking on one of our cruises from Sydney. This award-winning zoo features over 4,000 animals, which includes species that are native to Australia as well as rare and endangered animals. Head up on the Sky Safari, the only cable car in Sydney, for spectacular views.
Bondi Beach
Australia’s most famous beach is also one of its most beautiful. Bondi Beach is only about 15 minutes southeast of Sydney’s city center and provides a quintessential Australian beach-going experience. You’ll find soft golden sand, beachfront restaurants and bars, and lots of surfing and other water sports.
Manly Beach
Another popular beach to visit in Australia is Manly Beach, especially if you love surfing. Manly Beach was the site of the world’s first surfing contest back in 1964. While its legendary waves along the northern end of the beach at Queenscliff Bommie are only recommended for advanced surfers, the area on the southern end of Manly Beach has great waves for beginner surfers, too.

Another way to get high above the city is during a ride on the Sydney Tower Eye, which takes you to the highest point in Sydney. You’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the harbor, city skyline, and distant Blue Mountains off the coastline. After you take a ride on the Sydney Tower Eye, you can also visit the observation deck, 4-D cinema, and other exhibits that come included with admission.
Play at Luna Park Sydney
If you’re looking for some family fun before embarking on a cruise from Sydney, head to Luna Park, a restored amusement park that dates back to the 1930s. Both kids and adults will love going on exhilarating rides, taking a leisurely spin on the Ferris wheel, and gliding down giant slides. During your visit, you’ll also find carnival-style foods and games.
Where c an I eat in Sydney?
Foodies will love Sydney’s international food scene. From ritzy waterfront restaurants to laid-back eateries along one of Sydney’s “eat streets,” the city has it all. For an after-dinner drink, it’s hard to beat a cocktail in one of the sky bars located atop its many skyscrapers. If you’re looking for a gourmet meal in a setting like nowhere else, head to Sixpenny or Bennelong, an elegant restaurant located inside the Sydney Opera House.
What’s the culture and history of Sydney?
Sydney Harbour was originally the home of the aboriginal tribes of Australia. With the arrival of Britain’s First Fleet in 1788, the city of Sydney (named after Lord Sydney, the British Home Secretary at the time) was established as a penal colony of Great Britain. By 1840, the transportation of convicts to the city had ceased. A decade later, the population of the city grew exponentially after a local gold rush.
Up until 1900, Sydney was the capital of New South Wales, a British colony. But after the Commonwealth of Australia was established in 1901, Sydney became the capital of the state of New South Wales, which joined the Australian Federation. The wild and harsh start of colonial Sydney is now long in the past. Today, you’ll find a vibrant and cosmopolitan city with one of the most diverse populations in the world.
Where can I go shopping near the Sydney cruise port?
You will find an assortment of shopping malls near the Sydney cruise port. Some of the largest are Westfield Sydney, The Galeries, and World Square. For local boutiques, head to the intersection of Oxford Street and Glenmore Road. In the neighborhood of Paddington, you’ll find shops with cutting-edge fashion from new designers. For souvenirs and art, head to The Rocks near the Sydney Opera House, or the Strand for Australian hats and boots.
How can I get around Sydney?
Sydney has a variety of public transportation options. Its extensive bus route system goes to many of the most popular tourist sites, plus there are a light rail and ferry service. In addition, the Sydney Metro provides fast, frequent service around the city. As for taxis, you’ll find them waiting right outside the Sydney cruise terminal, as well as in taxi ranks all around the city.
What are the local currency and tipping customs?
Australia’s official currency is the Australian dollar. The paper bills come in increments of $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. Credit cards are widely accepted, but traveler’s checks are not. Tipping isn’t expected in Australia, but is appreciated. If you do tip, a smaller amount around 10% is usually acceptable.

Qantas suspends Sydney to Shanghai flights
Despite trade tensions almost fully thawed with China, Qantas has been forced to make a major change to its international flights.
‘Not recovered’: Qantas ditches major route
Airlines slash seats below $109
Passenger’s bizarre plane act goes viral
Qantas has been forced to can its Sydney to Shanghai route because of low demand.
In place of the airline’s scuppered only direct route into China, the airline will fly Brisbane to Manila for the first time in 10 years, and fire up more flights to Singapore and India.
Qantas International chief executive Cam Wallace said planes to and from China had been half full.
“Since Covid, the demand for travel between Australia and China has not recovered as strongly as expected,” he said.
“In some months, our flights to and from Shanghai have been operating around half full.”
Sydney to Shanghai will be suspended from July 28.
Qantas will still fly to Hong Kong and look to fly Sydney to Shanghai again in the future.
In its place Qantas’ Brisbane to Singapore route will increase from seven to nine return flights each week from October. The airline says timings will be aligned to cut four hours from its daily Singapore to London flight.
Sydney to Singapore will increase from 14 to 17 return flights a week and Sydney to Bengaluru increases from five a week to seven; both subject to government and regulator approval.
The Indian route will run from mid-December to March, offering more than 12,000 seats.
Customers with booking to Shanghai after July 27 will contacted and offered a full refund, Qantas says.
Across all airlines, passenger numbers on flights between Australia and China have been 30 per cent lower during the past six months compared with the same period before the pandemic. That 30 per cent dip is despite capacity being about 20 per cent lower.
Capacity for the market is forecast to grow further, reaching pre-pandemic levels by the end of this year.
Federal Trade and Tourism Minister Don Farrell met Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao by video conference just last month, pertaining to trade between the countries.
China imposed sweeping tariffs on Australian goods in 2020 after the Australian government called for an inquiry into the origins of Covid-19.
Australian coal, cotton, copper ores and concentrates, timber logs, oaten hay, barley and wine suddenly no longer had buyers in China. Those products are being shipped to China again now, except lobster and red meat are still sanctioned by Beijing.
After the April meeting, Mr Farrell said student and tourist numbers and official and business delegations between the nationals were increasing.
Just nine months after bringing back a once mammoth route for the airline, Qantas have announced a suspension for travellers.
Qantas and Virgin Australia have slashed the price of airfares, with thousands of seats dropping well below $200.
An airline is “looking into” a bizarre situation that took place on a recent flight that left passengers baffled – and it’s not the first time.
