Itinerary
Friday
- Our friendly crew welcomes you at Number
1 King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour. As the city
lights begin to shine we depart for our dinner
cruise. Tonight we anchor in Farm Cove by the shores
of the Botanic Gardens, close to the sails of the
Sydney Opera House.
Saturday - Active types can board
our tender for a quick trip to Man o’ War Steps
beside the Opera House and a cool morning stroll through
the Botanic Gardens. Once back on board, healthy appetites
tuck-in to a hot buffet breakfast before we head for
the upper reaches of the Parramatta and Lane Cove Rivers.See
foreshores and bay sides packed with historic sites,
trophy homes and prestige residential developments
while your on-board commentator shares stories galore
from the past and present.
The
afternoon brings us back to town for an on-shore
exploration of Sydney’s historic Rocks district.
Among immaculately preserved colonial architecture,
you will find fabulous market and retail shopping,
corner pubs, top art galleries and plenty of busking
talent. Then we set sail across the harbour and anchor
off the northern foreshore for the Captain’s
Dinner and an evening of live music and dancing.
Sunday - The early morning crew is
out again, this time for a walk through the bush and
the old artillery emplacements on Bradley’s Head.
The hike is well worth it for the glorious harbour views
from the headland. The mid-morning’s cruise takes
us into the territory of Sydney’s rich and famous
– the eastern suburbs. Your commentator lays out
their history and relates intriguing anecdotes as we
sail past huge homes and glamorous yachts bobbing at
closely-packed moorings.
At
beachside Watson’s Bay we head ashore to explore
the charming old fishing village and historic naval
establishments which make up this exclusive suburb.
You can take a guided walk to The Gap, enjoy a swim
at Camp Cove, or relax in the waterside pub. Once again
on board, lunch is served al fresco on the top deck
and we cruise back to Darling Harbour.
