Sydney awarded best Australian cruise port
Sydney is named the best cruise port in Australia in the Cruise Passenger Readers’ Choice Awards 2019.
Noted for its picturesque harbour and iconic landmarks makes, Sydney was also commended for its two cruise terminals and ability to host ships of all sizes — from the largest ships like Ovation of the Seas to smaller boutique cruise lines.
Over 11,000 readers voted in the awards making it the largest poll of cruise enthusiasts in the southern hemisphere — over half of Cruise Passenger’s readers have been on more than six cruises, and 30 per cent on 12.
