    Sydney always lives up to great expectations. When you are on one of our Sydney cruises, the first glimpse of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House will stay in your memory forever. One of the world's great cities and harbours, Sydney always lives up to great expectations. When you are on one of our Sydney cruises, the first glimpse of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House will stay in your memory forever. Even before the 2000 Olympics, cruises to Sydney had much to offer - hosting the games just made the city even better with improved facilities and extra dining and entertainment venues all round. From the waterside restaurants fringing the historic Rocks district, the Sydney cruise tour takes you around Sydney Cove past the Circular Quay ferry terminal to that remarkable Opera House and the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens.

  6. Day 6Mystery IslandDec 22, 2026 • Arrives at: 8 am • Departs at: 5 pm

    It’s no mystery that Mystery Island is steeped in allure. Mystery Island came to be after it was headlined in a royal visit in 1974. Traditionally known as Inyeug (meaning: small island), the picture-perfect scenery of this unspoilt South Pacific paradise awaits on a majestic scale. The Island is uninhabited and the only people who visit are cruise passengers. So it’s all yours. And it’s the perfect size to explore the whole thing.

  7. Day 7Noumea, New CaledoniaDec 23, 2026 • Arrives at: 8 am • Departs at: 5 pm

    Carnival transports you to the heart of Noumea, in its vibrant capital city of New Caledonia. Renowned as the Paris of the Pacific, you can channel French-style savoir-faire. Aside from ordering delicious croissants (in perfect French of course), there’s plenty of other great stuff to keep you busy. All you gotta do is choose which is more your style. Are you more in the mood for a day at the beach? Or would you rather the hustle and bustle of the city? Perhaps a bit of both?
