Itinerary

Departs: 4:00 PM

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.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

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

Arrives: 2:00 PM Departs: 6:00 PM

Marvel at the striking pink granite peaks of the Hazards, which rise dramatically from the sea. The bay is known for its clear waters and abundant marine life, including dolphins and seals. Jutting out from Tasmania's eastern coast, the Freycinet Peninsula is home to the iconic Wineglass Bay, with its pristine white sands and turquoise waters. The peninsula's rugged coastline and serene beaches provide a picturesque backdrop, making this scenic cruise an unforgettable visual experience.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

Port Arthur, once a notorious penal colony, now offers a fascinating glimpse into Australia’s convict past. Nestled on the Tasman Peninsula, this UNESCO World Heritage Site features well-preserved ruins, including the eerie Separate Prison and the grand Commandant’s House. Visitors can also take a harbor cruise to the Isle of the Dead, where prisoners and staff were buried, providing further insight into this hauntingly beautiful historical site.

Arrives: 8:30 PM

Tasmania's capital is a charming little city that blends natural beauty with a rich maritime history. Start at the bustling Salamanca Place, home to galleries, cafés, and the famous Salamanca Market on Saturdays. A short drive takes you to Mount Wellington, offering panoramic views of the city and beyond. The waterfront is perfect for sampling fresh seafood, especially at Constitution Dock, where fishing boats unload their daily catch. Ships dock at Macquarie Wharf.

Global Journeys have done a fabulous job with my booking on our Princess Cruise to NZ   1 , ACT, Australia, Dec 2024
The service from Grace was exemplary as was the Royal Princess cruise. Our cabin was exactly what we wanted, just the best outlook.
Marvellous cruise set up, friendly efficient Global Journeys   0 , Northland , New Zealand, Oct 2024
My first cruise with Princess was such a wonderful experience on the impressive Royal Princess. An immaculate ship with amazing decor & facilities, activities, food & crew to match. A special mention to my Travel Advisor, Maisie, a credit to Global Journeys with her efficiency & enthusiasm. I wouldn't hesitate to use Global Journeys & Princess Cruises on future adventures!
Onboard and Relax 1 , New Zealand, Oct 2024
Thank you Sam for booking us on the cruise Auckland to Sydney, and quickly helping us with our queries. Embarking and disembarking is straightforward and pleasant! Beats any experience passengers are subjected to by airport staff and procedures. It was a thoroughly enjoyable 6 night cruise on the Royal Princess liner. Fantastic food and entertainment read more and a lovely gym. Could not fault the staff- friendly and helpful, professional and genuine. NB: The cabins had American power points. For people with NZ & AU electrical devices please consider packing an adaptor plug with usb ports. The cabin attendants will provide the loan of an adaptor plug but it won't have a usb port.
Great Cruise Through inside passage Alaska 1 , QLD, Australia, Apr 2024
Amazing scenery that you wouldn't see anywhere else in the world, towering snow-capped mountains, and huge glaciers absolutely wonderful would recommend it to everyone.
Perfect Royal Princess Sydney to Yokohama 3 , Nelson, New Zealand, Apr 2024
Our first-time cruising with Princess and we'll definitely return. The Royal Princess is not a Wow looking ship, but it's absence of waterfalls, ice-skating rinks, shopping malls and the like really suited our style of cruising. The staff were all exceptional! The entertainment was fabulous, the meals were delicious and our bed was extremely comfortable! read more The itinerary included quite a few at sea days (one stretch of 4 days and another of 5 days) however the entertainment was ramped up so you never felt bored. We enjoyed the ports-of-call and had a mix of ship-booked excursions and doing it alone. The ship's excursions were very pricey and the main comment we heard was that they weren't worth the money.
Our booking experience with Georgie at Global Journeys was faultless! She kept us readily informed and couldn't have been more helpful. An excellent service.
Last minute NZ cruise 3 , New South Wales, Australia, Jan 2024
Last minute decision for a cruise from Sydney. Having been well served by Global Journeys on our last NZ holiday and having cruised with Princess in Europe, it was an easy call. Hannah promptly provided a great quote for one of the last suites available and it was arranged in no time. Communication was excellent and everything went smoothly. Cruise read more and weather was great and we loved returning to NZ. We are now asking Hannah for a quote on an Uluru trip later in the year. I have recommended Global Journeys to our family and friends when they are looking for a reliable travel agency.
Princess Cruise and Georgie   5 , Cambodia, Australia, Jan 2024
Was a brilliant holiday even made more so with the input and help from Georgie at Global Journeys.
Amazing 10 days cruise from Sydney to Auckland 0 , New Zealand, Dec 2023
Royal Princess is a really good ship, lot of entertainment options, good food variety and quality, and amazing places to visit, special mention to Doubtful sound and Milford Sound. The Medallion system (digital room key) and the Princess app makes a difference. Really enjoyable cruise.
