There are two dedicated cruise passenger terminals - the White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay in the city centre. This is your opportunity to marvel at Australia’s famous icons, the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge as you glide past The Heads - the dramatic sandstone cliffs at the entrance of the harbour.

Evenings on board offer a variety of entertainment options. Relax in the main lounge with live music or head to the sky deck for cocktails under the stars. Daily briefings, fun games organized by the crew, and the company of fellow travellers ensure there's never a dull moment. With a range of activities and social opportunities, your evenings will be as enjoyable as your days.

Top Things to Do on Moreton Island:

  • hand feed wild dolphins
  • try quad biking, parasailing or sand tobogganing down sand dunes.
  • snorkelling the island’s famous shipwrecks

Indulge in the ultimate relaxation at the top deck, featuring a spacious Jacuzzi and comfortable loungers perfect for soaking up the sun.

Over the years P&O Cruises led the Australasian cruise industry, and established themselves as the region’s only home brand and experts in delivering memorable cruise holidays. On every cruise, their guests are treated to a range of amazing onboard cruise activities, plenty of dining options, spectacular entertainment, more and a wide range of shore tours that offers something for everyone.

In March 2025, P&O Cruises Australia joined Carnival Corportation and it's two ships joined the fleet as Carnival Adventure® and Carnival Encounter®. Onboard, guests can expect a seamless blend of Carnival’s signature Fun Ship experience, plus many of the much-loved P&O features, giving guests the best of both worlds.
