Itinerary:

FRIDAY: Be welcomed by the friendly crew at Number 1 King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour.

Anchor in Farm Cove with the dramatic backdrop of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Overnight:

• Anchor in Farm Cove, by the Sydney Opera House
• Choice of either an Inside or Outside Cabin

SATURDAY: Active types can board the tender for a quick trip to Man 'O War Steps beside the Opera House and a cool morning stroll through the Botanic Gardens and around the grounds of the Sydney Opera House. Once back on board, healthy appetites will tuck into a hot breakfast before departing the main harbor and head for the fascinating upper reaches of the Parramatta and Lane Cove Rivers. See foreshores and baysides packed with historic sites, trophy homes and prestige residential developments while your on-board commentator shares stories galore from the past and the present.

The afternoon brings you back to town for an on-shore exploration of Sydney's historic 'Rocks' district. Among the immaculately preserved colonial architecture, find fabulous market and retail shopping, corner pubs, top art galleries and plenty of busking talent. Take the time to explore one of Sydney's best weekend markets and street entertainment.

Afterwards, set sail across the harbor and anchor off the northern foreshore (just in front of Taronga Zoo), where you can look back on the gorgeous city lights of Sydney, whilst enjoying the Captain's Dinner and an evening of live music and dancing. Retire to your stateroom for a restful sleep with the city lights twinkling in the background.

Overnight:

• Anchor near Taronga Zoo - the Northern Foreshore.
• Choice of either an Inside or Outside Cabin

SUNDAY: The early morning crew is out again to take you ashore, this time for a walk through the bush and the old artillery emplacements on Bradley's Head. The hike is well worth it for the glorious harbor views from the headland.

The mid-morning's cruise takes you into the territory of Sydney's rich and famous - the exclusive Eastern suburbs. Your commentator lays out their history and relates intriguing anecdotes as you sail past huge homes and glamorous yachts bobbing at closely packed moorings.

At beachside Watson's Bay, head ashore to explore the charming old fishing village and historic naval establishments which make up this exclusive suburb. You can take a guided walk to the Gap, join the optional sea kayaking tour, or relax in the waterside, outdoor pub atmosphere. Once again on board, lunch is served al fresco on the top deck, whilst enjoying your cruise back to Darling Harbour to disembark.
