Australia Day Cruises

Reflect. Respect. Celebrate.

The popular and iconic events performed during Australian Day include the Ferrython, RAAF flyover, Tug and Yacht Ballet, Harbour Parade and much more. Watch the marvelous ferries venture from Circular Quay to Shark Island and back to conclude with an amazing finish at the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Sydney’s First Fleet, as they are popularly known, can be spotted from prime viewing locations which include vantage points around the harbour and cruises that sail within the natural harbour of Sydney. Undoubtedly, Australia Day lunch cruises are the best available options to enjoy not only the Ferrython but all major Australian Day events.

This year’s Australia Day Live at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt and Circular Quay will be a night to acknowledge the Aussie spirit and celebrate our strength. Australia Day Live is a unique concert taking place both on land and water, featuring live musical performances choreographed to a flotilla of yachts, jet-skis and fly boarders and commercial vessels with synchronised pyrotechnics display on the harbour. The line- up will let the songs and lyrics tell their stories while creating an atmosphere of optimism and togetherness in a spectacular and heartfelt concert. It will be broadcast live on ABC TV from 7.30pm.
