Overview
Itinerary
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.
Your day at sea offers endless opportunity for activity and relaxation. Enjoy enriching onboard experiences like hot glass classes and archery tournaments, and you can send the kids to Camp at Sea for a fun-filled day of activities. Visit the state-of-the-art fitness center, where floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning ocean views, and indulge in your choice of dining options, from breakfast to late-night snacks.
Set in Twofold Bay on the Sapphire Coast, Eden is known for the migrating whales that cruise through its waters between May and November. While the whales are now protected and cherished here, the town was initially founded as a whaling centre and has many fascinating stories to tell. Ships will anchor offshore and tenders are provided to the port.
Top Things to Do in Eden:
- bush walk through Ben Boyd National Park
- visit Eden Lookout for the best views of Twofold Bay
- visit the Eden Killer Whale Museum
- cruise Twofold Bay
Ships arriving into Sydney typically dock at Circular Quay, or the White Bay Cruise Terminal, slightly farther west. From Circular Quay, you can easily access the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Royal Botanic Garden. Public transport options include trains, buses, and ferries. White Bay passengers can take a shuttle or taxi to reach key attractions like Darling Harbour and The Rocks, known for their shops, restaurants, and historical sites.

The main thing that was annoying to me was that in the room next to us were three South American teenagers who from 10:00pm till 1:00am on many of the nights either played soccer in their room or decided to have fights. The problem was that when I called guest services and security, it took them 40 minutes to attend and by that stage the noisemakers had quietened down so there was no evidence. It got to the stage that on most nights I ended up having to wear earplugs.
The major shows were good but tended to be very much just bands playing and acrobats and singers without being particularly spectacular compared to other cruises.
If you are able to, I would strongly suggest getting a balcony stateroom since it makes it very appealing to be able to sit outside and relax away from the hustle and bustle of the poolside area. One of my many joys was the 10 free ice cream flavours that were available until 9:00 PM each night. The staff there got to know me quite well.
I would definitely do another cruise with Celebrity as well as booking with Global Journeys since Hannah has always looked after me with my holidays.
There are a few issues that I had, but they may be minor depending on your perspective. For example, all the prices were in U.S. dollars, and if you bought drinks, then there was a 20% surcharge/ tip added to your bill. Also, since this was a luxury cruise, the optional visits seemed to be very expensive. I found that the few dance floors were very small when you consider that there were almost 3000 passengers on board. The shows had a lot of variety but not as spectacular as the ones that I saw on a P&O 4-day cruise a year ago. The meals were great, but it was surprising when eating in the restaurants, that every day, one out of the three columns on the menu was identical. Also, a certain amount of the vessel was off limits unless you were in the specialty suites or exclusive Aqua class.
Nevertheless, I look forward to going on another cruise with Celebrity and appreciate the professionalism and expertise of Hannah and Global Journeys, with whom I have already booked another cruise.
