Back-to-Back Cruises from Sydney

Sailing out of Sydney Harbour past the Opera House is the best departure in cruising, and on a back-to-back you get it twice.

Every row below is a real pair of Royal Caribbean sailings where the second leg departs Sydney on the day the first one returns. Fares are the lowest cached interior all-in price per guest for both legs combined, before any casino offer is applied. Ships currently chaining here: Anthem of the Seas.

Why Sydney works for a back-to-back

• South Pacific and Australia and New Zealand itineraries both sail from Sydney, and chaining one of each gives you tropical islands and temperate fjords in a single trip.
• The southern summer season concentrates a lot of inventory into December through March, which is when chains are easiest to build here.
• Legs tend to be long, so Sydney chains routinely run three weeks or more.

Turnaround day at Sydney

The Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay puts you in the middle of the city on turnaround day. Australian border processing is efficient and consecutive cruisers are usually back aboard quickly.

Getting there

Circular Quay is central and served by train and ferry. Note that some sailings use White Bay instead, which is less convenient, so check which terminal each leg uses.

Nearest airport: Sydney Kingsford Smith (SYD), about 30 minutes away.
