How to reach Sydney’s cruise terminals by public transport

For the time being, Sydney is still the major setting-off point for the majority of cruise ships heading up or down the Australian coast, to the South Pacific, New Zealand and even Asia. Many of these voyages attract travellers based outside of Sydney who need to fly in to the city to begin their voyage.

The New South Wales capital – Australia’s largest city – offers public transport options to help you get to either of Sydney’s two cruise terminals, if you consider a taxi to be too expensive.

Overseas Passenger Terminal

Without question the busiest and best positioned cruise port in Sydney Harbour, the only problem with the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay – from where most cruises depart – is that it can only accommodate one large ship at a time, or two small ones. However it is very well located and easy to access from Sydney Airport.

Step 1 – Catch the train.

Signs directing you from the airport terminal right to the train station are prevalent in both the International and Domestic buildings. If you are a regular visitor to Sydney and have an Opal Card, use this to board the train, however One-Way tickets are able to be purchased at a number of machines or ticket windows at the station, costing around $17.60 per adult and $14.10 per child inclusive of the Airport Station Fee.

Head down the escalators or the elevator to Platform 1. Most services will be heading to the City Circle, so join one of these trains and after about 15 minutes, you’ll arrive at Circular Quay station and in most cases will be able to see your cruise ship from there.

Step 2 – Walk to the terminal.

After exiting the station, the Overseas Passenger Terminal is a short walk away.

The Overseas Passenger Terminal is the one you will use if you’re booked to sail on Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International, Princess Cruises, Cunard, Norwegian Cruise Line (from February 2017) and Cunard. From time to time, Holland America Line and P&O Cruises may depart from this terminal, however check your itinerary to be sure.

White Bay Cruise Terminal

Sydney’s newest cruise terminal was opened in early 2013 and has certainly provided a new option for the smaller ships to be able to dock in the city. If the ship can fit within the 49m space between the water line and the base of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, chances are your ship will depart from White Bay. Unfortunately the facility is a little more difficult to reach without a direct car or taxi, but it’s not impossible and in fact has become easier recently.

Repeat Step 1 exactly as above.

Step 2 – Board the special Captain Cook Cruises ferry service.

Earlier this year, Sydney Harbour day cruise operator Captain Cook Cruises launched the first White Bay ferry to make it easier for travellers to reach the facility, notoriously missing any real public transport options.

Tickets for this ferry service are priced at $9 per person (free for ages 0-3) and can be purchased either onboard or by CLICKING HERE. Ferries depart from Circular Quay Wharf 6 (the train station exits are at Wharves 4 and 5) every 20 minutes any day a ship is taking new passengers at White Bay. The trip takes 20 minutes to arrive at Captain Cook Cruises’ private dedicated wharf at the cruise port, located very close to your ship.

Step 3 – Walk to the terminal.

For guests ending their cruise at White Bay, the same service is available in the reverse direction to take you back to Circular Quay.

If you’ve booked P&O Cruises, Holland America Line, on Princess Cruises’ smaller vessels such as  Sun Princess  or  Sea Princess  or one of the ultra-luxury vessels from Seabourn, Silversea Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Ponant or Azamara Club Cruises, then there’s a good chance you’ll be boarding your ship at White Bay.

Don’t be daunted by Sydney’s public transport system, which may appear intimidating but can be navigated quite easily even if it’s your first time in the city. If you do run into any trouble, a staff member can point you in the right direction. Make sure you allow enough time to reach your ship, so book a flight which arrives early in the morning, consider the possibility of any short delays and you’ll be onboard your ship in no time.

The 5 best destinations you can visit on a Royal Caribbean cruise

Is a Royal Caribbean cruise on your bucket list? You'll find no shortage of options when it comes time to pick an itinerary.

The world's biggest cruise line by passenger capacity offers voyages in almost every corner of the world, from its home base in North America to the far-off waters of Australia and New Zealand.

Royal Caribbean operates more cruise ships than any other major line — 28 in all . This allows it to deploy vessels on all the classic cruise itineraries in places like the Caribbean, Europe and Alaska while still having ships left over for more off-the-beaten-path routes.

For more cruise guides, tips and news, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

That said, Royal Caribbean has a distinct focus on the Caribbean and Europe — the most popular destinations for its regular customers. In a typical summer, the line will deploy about half its ships on sailings to the Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda while sending another seven or eight vessels to Europe. The line typically sends four ships to Alaska every summer.

During the winter, the line will move even more of its ships to the Caribbean, and send a few to Asia and Australia.

In all, Royal Caribbean's ships visit more than 300 different ports around the world. Here are five of the top destinations you can reach on a Royal Caribbean ship.

The Caribbean and the Bahamas

There's a reason the word "Caribbean" is in Royal Caribbean's name. The line got its start operating cruises to the Caribbean way back in 1968, and the region still accounts for a big part of its business.

In fact, the line typically deploys well more than half its fleet to the Caribbean and the Bahamas for at least part of the year. During the winter, the line will have most of its ships in the region. For the coming winter of 2024-2025, for instance, 23 of its 28 vessels are sailing in the Caribbean and Bahamas, including all of the line's biggest ships. These include the line's much-ballyhooed new vessel Icon of the Seas — the biggest cruise ship in the world — and its just unveiled Utopia of the Seas .

Utopia of the Seas, notably, has debuted on short sailings to the Bahamas — an unusual deployment for a brand-new ship .

Royal Caribbean offers a broad range of Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries from over half a dozen home ports. If you're looking for something short, the line has you covered in the form of lots of quick, three- and four-night trips from Florida ports to the Bahamas (including those Utopia of the Seas sailings). It also offers an abundance of seven-night sailings to Caribbean and Bahamas ports and a handful of longer trips in the region that range from nine to 14 nights.

At the core of the line's Caribbean and Bahamas program are its seven-night sailings, which break down into three broad categories:

• Eastern Caribbean voyages
• Western Caribbean voyages
• Southern Caribbean voyages

A typical seven-night Royal Caribbean sailing in the Eastern Caribbean will include stops at St. Martin, St. Thomas and Perfect Day at CocoCay , the line's private island in the Bahamas. But the line sometimes swaps in stops at other islands such as Puerto Rico or St. Kitts. There are typically three and sometimes four calls on an Eastern Caribbean cruise.

Royal Caribbean's seven-night Western Caribbean voyages typically include three or four stops at some mix of the following destinations: Mexico (Cozumel or Costa Maya), Honduras, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Belize. Some include a stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay and Labadee, Royal Caribbean's private beach destination in Haiti.

The line's seven-night Southern Caribbean itineraries are more destination-heavy, with five or even six separate calls. They sometimes include a couple of stops at relatively northward islands such as St. Thomas and St. Martin but focus heavily on southerly islands such as Tobago, Trinidad, Grenada, St. Vincent, Dominica, St. Lucia, Bonaire, Aruba and Curacao.

When sailing to the Caribbean, Royal Caribbean ships generally sail out of PortMiami , Port Canaveral , Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades and Tampa in Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; New Orleans; Galveston, Texas; Bayonne, New Jersey (one of the ports for New York City); and Baltimore.

The line also recently offered its first-ever Caribbean sailings out of Barbados , though no other voyages from the island are currently on the line's schedule.

Australia and New Zealand

Royal Caribbean has been sending at least one ship — and sometimes several — to Australia every winter for many years. It offers a wide range of itineraries out of Sydney and Brisbane that make calls not just around Australia but also in New Zealand.

While the itineraries the line offers in the region vary in length — from just two nights to 15 nights — the shorter voyages are primarily aimed at a local Australian crowd looking for a quick getaway. Among North Americans, the most popular itineraries are the longer ones, which are often heavily skewed to stops in New Zealand.

Among several New Zealand itineraries are 12-night voyages from Sydney that feature an all-New Zealand lineup of calls: Bay of Islands, Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Picton.

A 15-night New Zealand itinerary out of Sydney features cruising in New Zealand's famed Milford Sound as well as Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound. The ship also stops in Dunedin, Wellington, Christchurch, Tauranga, Auckland and the Bay of Islands.

Royal Caribbean isn't the biggest player in Alaska cruises . The giants of cruising to Alaska are Princess Cruises and Holland America , which are sister lines to each other that control a large percentage of the market. Still, Royal Caribbean has a significant presence in Alaska, and its big, activity-filled ships are popular with families looking to visit the destination.

The Alaska cruise season is a short one, lasting roughly from May to September. This year, Royal Caribbean has four ships in the region — all operating seven-night sailings.

• Ovation of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas: These 4,180-passenger sister vessels are Royal Caribbean's newest and largest ships scheduled to visit Alaska. They're sailing to Alaska round-trip from Seattle with calls at Alaskan ports such as Sitka, Juneau and Skagway; and Victoria, British Columbia. On many departures, they're also visiting Endicott Arm for glacier viewing.
• Brilliance of the Seas: The 2,142-passenger ship sails to Alaska round-trip from Vancouver with a visit to Tracy Arm Fjord and calls at three or four of the following Alaska destinations: Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Haines, Icy Strait Point and Sitka.
• Radiance of the Seas: The 2,143-passenger Radiance of the Seas mostly sails one-way Alaska voyages between Vancouver and Seward, Alaska. Calls include Hubbard Glacier and four of the following Alaska destinations: Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway and Sitka.

For the 2025 season, Royal Caribbean will replace Ovation of the Seas with Anthem of the Seas (the two ships are similar) and substitute Serenade of the Seas for Radiance of the Seas (also similar ships).

The appeal of the one-way sailings on Radiance of the Seas in 2024 and Serenade of the Seas in 2025 is that you can combine them with Royal Caribbean-organized land tours of Alaska. Land tours can last from two to five days in addition to the seven nights on the ship. So, all in all, you will have created a nine- to 12-night "cruise tour" as such trips are called in the cruise world.

The land tour portion of such trips brings visits to such well-known interior Alaska locations as Denali National Park and the town of Fairbanks.

Royal Caribbean is a major player in Europe, with a wide range of itineraries in the Mediterranean and across Northern Europe.

Some of the line's signature Mediterranean routings offer the chance to see iconic destinations such as Barcelona, Spain, and the Italian cities of Florence, Rome and Naples in a single cruise. Or, you can sign up for a Mediterranean cruise focusing on the Greek Islands.

In Northern Europe, Royal Caribbean will take you to such famed Baltic cities as Stockholm; Tallinn, Estonia; Helsinki; and St. Petersburg, Russia, in a single sailing (although, for now, St. Petersburg has been removed from Royal Caribbean itineraries due to the war between Russia and Ukraine). Itineraries that zero in on the Norwegian fjords also are available.

Until recently, the line has deployed as many as 10 vessels to the region each year on a seasonal basis, with the ships staying from spring until fall. But Royal Caribbean has been cutting back on Europe sailings a bit in the wake of the wars in Ukraine and Israel, and it only plans to send six ships to Europe for the 2025 season.

Royal Caribbean's Europe voyages range in length from three to 16 nights.

Among the longest sailings that Royal Caribbean offers in Europe is a 16-night voyage from Barcelona to Southampton, England, that brings stops in Valencia, Cartagena and Malaga, Spain; Casablanca and Agadir, Morocco; Lisbon and Porto, Portugal; Cork, Ireland; and Cherbourg and Le Havre, France.

In Northern Europe, Royal Caribbean ships mostly sail out of Southampton, England; Amsterdam; and Copenhagen, Denmark.

In the Mediterranean, the line's hubs are Piraeus, Greece (the port for Athens); Istanbul, Turkey; Barcelona; and Civitavecchia (the port for Rome) and Ravenna in Italy. The latter port recently replaced Venice as a home port.

In recent years, Royal Caribbean has built up a big business selling cruises out of China ports such as Shanghai and Tianjin (the port for Beijing) that are aimed squarely at the Chinese market. They offer Chinese-language programming, and Chinese-centric food and activities. However, Royal Caribbean also markets some Asia voyages to North Americans.

Among the itineraries meant for a Western crowd are nine-night Thailand and Vietnam cruises out of Singapore that include stops at Bintan Island, Indonesia; Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and Bangkok.

There are also 10-night Japan Explorer sailings that take in Aomori, Hakodate, Akita, Kanazawa, Sakaiminato and Kagoshima, Japan; and Busan, South Korea.

For 2025, Royal Caribean will have three of its 28 ships visiting Asia for at least part of the year: Anthem of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas and Spectrum of the Seas.

The line's main home ports in Asia for cruises aimed at North American travelers are Singapore; Yokohama, Japan (the port for Tokyo); and Hong Kong.

Bottom line

Royal Caribbean has one of the biggest fleets of oceangoing cruise ships worldwide, allowing it to offer a wide range of itineraries. If you're thinking of a Royal Caribbean cruise, you'll be spoiled for choice. The line is perhaps best known for its Caribbean sailings — at certain times of the year, it deploys almost all its ships to the region. You'll also find wonderful Royal Caribbean itineraries everywhere, from Alaska and Australia to Europe and Asia.

What terminal does Royal use in Sydney especially for the Ovation of the Seas?

Both times we've sailed out of Sydney on RCI it has been the  Overseas Passenger Terminal which is across the waters of Sydney Cove from the Sydney Opera House. I believe large ships like Ovation can't use the inner harbor terminal as they can't pass under the Sydney Harbor bridge.

Yes, OPT, Overseas Passenger Terminal.  Breathtaking views from the ship...you can see the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbor Bridge, The Rocks, the botanical gardens, Circular Quay train station, the ferries...all within walking distance.

OPT, Overseas Passenger Terminal.

When we came up the metro stairs at Circular Quay, we saw the Ovation in port. Keeping the proximity of OPT in mind, we booked the Holiday Inn Old Sydney in the Rocks (now Rydges), so that we could wheel our carry-ons to the terminal, a mere 5 mins easy walk.

https://www.rydges.com/accommodation/sydney-nsw/sydney-harbour/

We also stayed at the Holiday Inn at the Rocks. Nice hotel. They have washers and dryers. We took the train from the airport to Circular Quay and walked to the hotel. Also walked to the OPT. Easy walking to the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, shopping and eateries. Highly recommend climbing the bridge. We chose to climb at sunset. Breathtaking. I am not a fan of heights and I had no issues.

That's exactly what we did -- train from the airport to CQ, walk to the hotel, walk to the OPT, and at the end of the cruise -- took the train straight to the airport from CQ.

Location, location, location.

From the east end of Circular Quay, by the Ferry wharves and under the railway station.

It’s now Rydges Sydney Harbor. Not sure how it compares to old Holiday Inn.

thank you all for your answer
