SYDNEY NAMED CRUISE CRITIC'S BEST HOMEPORT IN 2019

Sydney has been named Best Homeport by editors of the world’s largest cruise reviews site, Cruise Critic.

The online cruise community announced its 4th annual AU Editors’ Picks Awards this month, and Sydney was recognised for its iconic surrounds, lifestyle offerings and nearby coastal attractions.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the accolade was well deserved and reaffirmed Sydney’s position as the country’s leading cruise destination.

“Sydney continues to be Australia’s cruise gateway and one of the world’s most beautiful destinations with its iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and pristine beaches,” Minister Ayres said.

“Latest industry data shows that NSW’s nine ports received 371 cruise ships of more than 100 passengers in the 2017-18 financial year.”

The Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks Awards are selected by a global panel of impartial cruise experts from the website to highlight the best ports and luxury cruise lines for Australian travellers across dozens of categories.

“As all cruise ships dock within this convenient waterway, cruise passengers can easily enjoy the city’s iconic beaches, waterfront bars and restaurants, wildlife attractions and museums,” Cruise Critic editors said.
