DAY 1: ARRIVE SYDNEY
Welcome to Australia! Upon arrival at Sydney International Airport, we will be met and transferred to our accommodation which is being held for our early check-in. Radiating from the sparkling waters of Sydney Harbour, Australia’s largest city stretches from the shores of the Pacific Ocean to the foot of the Blue Mountains. Our lovely accommodation is at Park Royal Darling Harbour – as the name suggests, situated right on Darling Harbour. We’re well located to wander around the Darling Harbour precinct at our leisure, or just relax and acclimatise after
our flight. We’ve got a great few days ahead of us and this evening will be the start. Enjoy a welcome reception at King Street Wharf then join Captain Cook Cruises for our Captain’s Club Dinner Cruise aboard the MV Sydney 2000. The views are stunning as we cruise, dine and dance aboard Sydney’s flagship MV Sydney 2000. What a wonderful way to begin our adventure!
Dinner Included. Hotel Overnight: ParkRoyal Darling Harbour, Sydney
DAY 2: SYDNEY CITY SIGHTS & SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE
This morning we embark on a city sights tour taking in the historical Rocks area, where the First Fleet landed in 1788 to establish Australia’s first European settlement. Other highlights include China Town, cosmopolitan Kings Cross and world famous Bondi Beach. Returning to town, we make our way to the Sydney Opera House; where we meet our guide for a tour. Sixty years ago Jorn Utzon designed what is now considered one of the greatest buildings of all time. This will be a fascinating tour. It’s now time for lunch so we head to Terrace on the Domaine. The final stop on our tour is Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair on the harbour foreshore. The chair was
carved out of the sandstone by convicts for Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s wife in order for her to watch the activity on the harbour and await the arrival of ships from England. The point provides us with wonderful views of the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and Fort Denison. This evening, we have a special dinner outing at the Squires Landing overlooking the beautiful Sydney harbour! We have arranged a transfer back to the hotel – or if you wish to “kick on” to taste Sydney’s nightlife, feel free to do so!
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Included. Hotel Overnight: ParkRoyal Darling Harbour, Sydney
