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.

While at sea, take time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, dine at any of the onboard restaurants or explore the thrills on each deck until we arrive at the next destination. Make the most of your day at sea by enjoying our Wi-Fi, drink and Speciality Dining Packages. These services are available at an additional cost.

The Whitsundays, an idyllic cluster of 74 islands off Queensland's coast, are the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Visit Whitehaven Beach, renowned for its pristine silica sands and crystal-clear waters. For panoramic views, take a short hike to Hill Inlet Lookout. Snorkeling and diving are top activities here, with spots like the vibrant coral gardens of Hardy Reef showcasing marine biodiversity.

For those interested in marine life, a trip to the Great Barrier Reef is a must. Explore the underwater world at popular dive sites like the Bait Reef or Heart Reef, where you can encounter colorful corals and diverse marine species. For a unique experience, consider a scenic flight over the reef to appreciate its vastness and beauty from above.

Port:Airlie Beach

Ships docking at Airlie Beach typically anchor offshore, with passengers tendered to the Port of Airlie Marina. The marina is conveniently located just 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) from the town center - a quick 5-minute walk. For those interested in local culture, the Airlie Beach Markets, held every Saturday, feature an array of crafts, fresh produce, and unique souvenirs or take a leisurely stroll along the Airlie Beach Lagoon, a saltwater swimming spot perfect for a dip!

Anthem of the Seas - North Island, New Zealand 1 , NSW, Australia, Dec 2025
Firstly I need to acknowledge Grace who has been brilliant in arranging our past few cruises. Communication has always been top notch. Our first cruise on board Anthem was very familiar as we had cruised on Ovation of the Seas five times and this ship is almost a mirror image. Once again the staff on Royal Caribbean were awesome and nothing is ever read more a problem.

As happens, Mother Nature rules, so we had to miss Napier, but stops including Picton (South Island), Tauranga, Auckland and Bay of Islands were great. Entertainment and other activities were terrific, especially the stage show “We Will Rock You”.
I would thoroughly recommend a cruise on Royal Caribbean and be sure to use Global Journeys.

Our cruise on the Anthem of the Seas was awesome: service, dining, cabin , bars, friendly staff it was 5 stars all the way. Will probably do another cruise with Royal Caribbean again. We loved it! Rachael was friendly , very professional and helpful, would not hesitate to deal with Rachael again for our next adventure. The ship was magnificent.

Everything about this cruise was outstanding. Extremely well organised by Global Journeys, plenty of product knowledge, meeting all our expectations. Highly recommend Royal Caribbean for quality of facilities, fantastic service and exceptional staff. Amazing holiday .....
