About
NSW is Australia's most geographically diverse state, offering a wide range of attractions. With nine cruise ports along NSW’s scenic coastline (known as the Blue Highway) and each port offering striking natural beauty and unique experiences for the visitor, the state caters to all segments of the cruise market.
Sydney is the state’s premier destination. The city claimed Cruise Passenger Magazine’s 2024 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Port, taking the top international spot for three consecutive years, and six times overall.
The city continues to be Australia’s cruise gateway, and one of the world’s most beautiful destinations, with its iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and pristine beaches. It offers a blend of world-class art, culture, dining, events and outdoor activities, coupled with contemporary and colonial architecture.

Sydney Harbour is joined by eight other beautiful ports along the NSW coastline: Eden, Batemans Bay, Kiama, Wollongong, Newcastle, Trial Bay, Coffs Harbour and Yamba.
The growing popularity of cruising in NSW has cemented the state’s place as the premier cruise destination in Australia and the South Pacific.
