Australia Day is a time to honour the nation’s history and heritage, and indulge in the vibrant festivities that make the day unforgettable. On this day, every corner of Sydney will be buzzing with plenty of activities for everyone, but if you’re looking for a more unique way to celebrate this year, why not change perspectives with a Sydney Harbour Cruise as our way to wrap up your day?
Whether you’re a local looking to rediscover your city or a visitor seeking to bookmark your time abroad with a landmark experience, a Sydney Harbour cruise promises a front-row seat to the heart of Australia Day’s charm. From fireworks to the discovery of maritime history first-hand, discover some of the reasons why a day cruise on Australia Day can make the event more unforgettable with our team at Sydney Tall Ships.
A Front-Row Seat to Spectacular Events
On Australia Day, the Sydney Harbour becomes the epicentre of celebrations. Aside from the colourful sight of decorated boats, ferries, and yachts on the water, there are plenty of official activities to look forward to. And a Sydney day cruise will offer an unrivalled vantage point to enjoy these events.
From less crowded spaces to unobstructed views, you’ll have some of the best seats in the house. Some of the most anticipated events to look forward to this coming Australia Day are the Fighter Jet Flyover, 21 Gun Salute, Tall Ships Race – and of course, the Australia Day Regatta, Parade, and Fireworks.
Aboard our historic tall ships at Sydney Tall Ships on our Sydney day cruise, you can sit back and relax in those front-row seats while enjoying delicious gourmet meals, live music, and unlimited wines, bubbly, beers, soft drinks, and juices.
Only adding onto this – Sydney Tall Ship’s own Soren Larsen has been invited to join in on the Lit Vessels Parade, to be broadcast Australia-wide on the day, featuring live performances and a vibrant display of lightworks adorning a fleet of other vessels featuring on the night.
On-Board Activities: Tailored for Australia Day
If you want a more hands-on or interactive experience to enjoy the sunshine on Australia Day, our Sydney Harbour cruise is the best way to go. Guests can enjoy live performances, interactive games, and even commentary about the history of Australia Day and its connection to the Harbour.
More than that, you can even join in on the events of the day. Aboard one of our historic tall ship vessels, Coral Trekker, Soren Larsen or Southern Swan, you can take part in the thrilling Australia Day Tall Ships’ Race. You can sit back and cheer as the crew set sails and battle for line honours or you can pitch in and help if you want to. You can even climb the mast and see all the action from there.
Avoid the Crowds and Stress
Some people with kids or family might consider celebrating Australia Day in their own ways. However, if you’re determined to enjoy all the main activities, joining in with the crowd that Australia Day attracts can present certain challenges that might dampen the celebratory mood of the day. On a Sydney day cruise, you can escape the hustle and bustle.
You won’t need to worry about securing a great spot for viewing hours in advance or navigate packed public transport systems during the event. You can simply live in the moment and celebrate the day for what it is with loved ones.
Key Takeaway
Celebrate Australia Day from a new perspective on a Sydney harbour day cruise! Aboard one of the city’s dazzling ships, you and your family can enjoy the celebrations without the stress and hassle of crowds and with some of the best views in the city. The best part is that your time on board will never be boring as there will be something to enjoy for everyone.
