BIGGEST EVER NSW CRUISE SEASON KICKS OFF

The first international cruise ship of the season has sailed into Sydney Harbour from the Northern Hemisphere, kicking off a bumper summer for NSW ports.

Celebrity Solstice docked yesterday after crossing the Pacific Ocean from Hawaii. The ship brought almost 3000 passengers and more than 1200 crew into Sydney.

There will be 331 cruise calls into NSW ports during the season, up almost 16 per cent from last summer.

Ovation of the Seas, with just under 5000 passengers, will be one of the biggest ships to sail into Sydney during the current cruise season.

There will also be a record number of maiden calls, surpassing the 2022–2023 summer season, with 12 first-time ships set to make their debut in Sydney Harbour. They include vessels from Virgin Voyages, Disney Cruise Line and Scenic.
