Explore the must-see icons of Sydney, including the famed opera house, Royal Botanic Garden and Sydney Tower, all of which will reveal the heart and soul of this extraordinary city.

TAG 1

Disembark the ship in Sydney and meet your guide at the pier before starting out on your day tour of the city. Begin with a drive through the city in a luxury coach, stopping for photos of Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Still, the best and most historical vantage point is from Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, a stone seat that was hand-carved out of a rock ledge by convicts in 1810 so that the governor’s wife could enjoy the ultimate harbor view.

You will then travel to the Royal Botanic Garden, the oldest botanic garden and scientific institution in Australia, for an Aboriginal Heritage Tour. As you walk the grounds, an Aboriginal guide will describe how the indigenous Cadigal people used plants for various purposes. You many also get the chance to sample bush foods.

Continuing on to the observation deck of Sydney Tower, you will enjoy a sky-high 360-degree view of the city and beyond to the Blue Mountains. Once the tallest building in Australia, the tower soars over the city, making it easy to identify key landmarks below.

Free time follows at beautiful Bondi Beach, a stretch of golden sand that is one of Sydney’s most visited beaches, especially among surfers. While exploring, you may wish to dine on your own at one of the restaurants that rims the beach.

One more stop will be made at The Gap on the return to the hotel. The views of the Tasman Sea from atop this oceanside cliff are spectacular.

You will then spend the evening at the hotel at your leisure with dinner on your own.

TAG 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will drive to the Taronga Zoo Sydney for an Aussie Animal

encounter with indigenous species. As the zookeeper describes the habitats of the animals, you may

pose with a koala or hold a native owl on your gloved hand.

You will then proceed to the Sydney Opera House for an exclusive tour, during which you will learn

about its extraordinary design and why UNESCO deemed it a World Heritage site. The opera house is so

iconic that it is impossible to think of Sydney without this cultural center coming to mind.

As the hotel isn’t far off, you can choose to walk back on your own and explore other attractions on the

way. The evening will be spent cruising through Sydney Harbour and enjoying a sumptuous dinner. The

illuminated city will look absolutely radiant as you sail along the coast.

Upon returning to the hotel, the remainder of the evening will be at your leisure.

TAG 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, check out and transfer to the airport based on the flight details provided. For guests with late flights, luggage storage will be available at the hotel until your transfer time.

Still, the best and most historical vantage point is from Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, a stone seat that convicts hand-carved out of a rock ledge in 1810 so that the governor’s wife could enjoy the ultimate harbor view.

You will then travel to the Royal Botanic Garden, the oldest botanic garden and scientific institution in Australia, for an Aboriginal Heritage Tour. As you walk the grounds, an Aboriginal guide will describe how the indigenous Cadigal people used plants for various purposes. You many also get the chance to sample bush foods.

Continuing on to the observation deck of Sydney Tower, you will enjoy a sky-high 360-degree view of the city and beyond to the Blue Mountains. Once the tallest building in Australia, the tower soars over the city, making it easy to identify key landmarks below.

Free time follows at beautiful Bondi Beach, a stretch of golden sand that is one of Sydney’s most visited beaches, especially among surfers. While exploring, you may wish to dine on your own at one of the restaurants that rims the beach.

One more stop will be made at The Gap on the return to the hotel. The views of the Tasman Sea from atop this oceanside cliff are spectacular.

You will then spend the evening at the hotel at your leisure with dinner on your own.

TAG 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will drive to the Taronga Zoo Sydney for an Aussie Walkabout Tour of the newly opened Nura Diya precinct focusing on indigenous species where your guide will explain the work of Taronga in relation to species preservation, rehabilitation and conservation.

Experience an open walkthrough of Kangaroo Country, Dingo Country. In Koala Country travel on the boardwalk built high in the treeline and spot koalas! Your guide will be able to answer any questions as you proceed through your walkabout. End tour at the Taronga Institute of Science & Learning where you will gain insight into the world of conservation science currently being undertaken at Taronga Zoo.

You will then proceed to the Sydney Opera House for an exclusive tour, during which you will learn about its extraordinary design and why UNESCO deemed it a World Heritage site. The opera house is so iconic that it is impossible to think of Sydney without this cultural center coming to mind.

As the hotel isn’t far off, you can choose to walk back on your own and explore other attractions on the way. The evening will be spent cruising through Sydney Harbour and enjoying a sumptuous dinner. The illuminated city will look absolutely radiant as you sail along the coast.

Upon returning to the hotel, the remainder of the evening will be at your leisure.

TAG 3

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel and then the remainder of the day is at your leisure to further enjoy Sydney’s sights and its surrounds. Perhaps make the 2-hour journey to the scenic Blue Mountains, hop on a Sydney Harbor water ferry and explore all the stops along its route or for the adventurous do the Bridge Climb on the Sydney Harbor Bridge. The staff at the Regent Hospitality desk will be able to assist with any independent sightseeing questions you may have.

You can enter the zoo directly from the Wildlife Retreat. No extra tickets or passes are needed. Your room key will provide entry into the zoo and back into the retreat throughout your stay.

Your Bushland room has views overlooking a variety native trees and flora. Keep an eye out for the wild birds amongst the bush.

The Wildlife Retreat is a cashless facility and accepts credit card payments only.

TAG 2

Following breakfast in the Me-Gal restaurant, you will meet your guide in the hotel lobby and transfer to the ferry terminal, where you will take a boat shuttle across Sydney Harbor and into the downtown.

Start with a walk to the Sydney Botanical Gardens, where you will have the opportunity to learn about vast species of Australian plant life that are located in the middle of the city.

Next, visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales for a guided tour of the newest Sydney Modern Project, which showcases both modern art and remarkable works by Aboriginal artists.

For an insight into the history of Sydney and the arrival of the first settlers in 1788, you will walk through the historical and cultural area known as The Rocks. There in a pub, you will enjoy an Australian pizza for lunch with a glass of beer or wine.

In the afternoon, you will return to The Wilderness Retreat and tour The Sanctuary with a park ranger. You can expect an up-close and personal experience with indigenous animals such as koalas, wallabies and echidnas. The ranger will provide you with exclusive access to areas of the park not accessible to the general public, allowing you to meet these remarkable animals and have a real conversation with the experts on the conservation and protection of these unique species.

The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure. Dinner is included at the Me-Gal restaurant.

Hinweis: Today will include a fair amount of walking, therefore we recommend that you wear comfortable walking shoes and light, loose clothing along with lots of sun protection. Also note, animals may not be held in the state of New South Wales.

Here you will find a multitude of gum trees, also known as eucalyptus. Your guide will share stories and showcase how life was for the original inhabitants prior to colonization of the country. Be sure to look for various rock-art sites while you drive through the park.

Continuing on, arrive to Broken Bay Pearl Farm, where you will meet a group of passionate oyster and pearl cultivators. The visit will provide you with an insight into the area’s natural beauty on land and during a cruise on the Hawkesbury River, where you will see the saltwater paddocks. Learn why the environment there is ideal for growing oysters of all varieties and in turn how oysters give back to people and place.

Following your visit, return to The Wildlife Retreat for an afternoon at leisure. This is the perfect time to visit the zoo or perhaps head back to the city center to explore on your own.

The evening is also at your leisure with dinner included at the Me-Gal restaurant.

TAG 4

Following breakfast in the Me-Gal restaurant, you will check out and meet your guide in the hotel lobby.

Driving north, you will explore the more uncrowded beaches of Sydney. Your destination is Palm Beach, a quintessential beach town where the Australian show “Home and Away” was filmed. Affectionately known as “Palmy” by locals, Palm Beach is located at the end of a long peninsula and boasts beautiful golden sand and clear water, which has inspired the wealthy to build their holiday homes there.

You will have time to enjoy the vistas before sitting down to lunch in a beach-style restaurant, allowing you to take in the vibe and culture of this beach community.

Afterwards, you will return to the cruise terminal in Sydney and embark the ship.
