Trip length

Weekend cruises from Sydney

184 cruises leave Sydney Harbour on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. That covers every length, so the question here is when you can get away rather than for how long.

They go to sea-day getaways, Asia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Tasmania and the south coast, Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef, long voyages and trips around Australia, and Hawaii and across the Pacific. Most leave on a Sunday, which is worth checking against the days you can actually take off.

The lowest recorded starting fare is $278 per person, on Carnival Adventure departing Sat, May 8, 2027. The median across the group is about $154 a night, which is the number to compare against a longer or shorter trip.
