Cruises depart from Darling Harbour and Circular Quay wharves.
The cove was called Warrane by its original Aboriginal inhabitants. In 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip, the first governor of New South Wales, named the cove where the first British settlement was established Sydney Cove after Home Secretary Thomas Townshend, the first Viscount of Sydney.
Depending on which cruise you have booked, most recommend smart casual for general cruises, or smart and stylish for the more premium or dinner cruises.
Cruise lengths vary depending on the type of cruise. A sightseeing cruise can be as short as one hour while speciality cruises include a meal and take several hours.
