For the first time Australian's who chose to spend their holidays cruising has surpassed North America taking Australia to No 1 in the world for cruises per capita. A record 833,348 Australians took a cruise last year and it is predicted to rise to one million by 2016 as more cruising ships enter Australian waters.*
As Sydney is a key departure point for many cruises, why worry about trains being delayed, traffic jams, where to park the car, and feeling stressed to the max before even arriving at the ship when you can stay in central Sydney in luxury apartments. Metro Apartments Darling Harbour will be offering passengers pre and post cruise stays with a ten per cent discount on all packages and best available rates for the length of their stay. This includes a bottle of sparkling Australian wine and chocolates on arrival.
With cruises departing from the International Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay and from the White Bay terminal in Rozelle, both are just a short taxi trip from the Apartments to the terminals.
Situated in the heart of Sydney directly across from Darling Harbour, Metro Apartments Darling Harbour is an ideal location to explore some of the city before cruising. Nearby is King Street Wharf and Cockle Bay where you can enjoy a cocktail in one of the many boutique bars, a meal in one of many harbourside restaurants to suit everyone's budget or stroll across the footbridge to try your luck at The Star Casino.
Metro Apartments Darling Harbour are priced to be affordable for mid-week and weekend getaways starting from $199.00. A selection of 32 recently renovated loft-style one-bedroom apartments, each with a queen sized bed and sofa bed, offer all the comforts of a 'home away from home' with the convenience of a perfect city location. Each apartment is appointed with a fully-equipped kitchen, washing machine, dryer and ironing facilities, air conditioning and heating.
