REGENT SEVEN SEAS CRUISES AUSTRALIA CRUISETOURS
The ships of Regent offer voyages of exploration and discovery to over 300 ports on six continents, including Asia. Regent's luxury vessels are designed for guests numbering in the hundreds rather than the thousands. The ambiance on board is personal, individual, accommodating - "upscale but not uptight." And all ships share certain distinctions in accommodations, service, dining and amenities that elevate them to the lofty vantage point of our enviable six stars.
During our Australian Cruisetours you'll experience Regent's six-star cruise experience and an extended stay in Sydney, Australia.
One of the liveliest, must see cities of the Pacific Rim, Sydney humbly began life as a British penal colony in 1788. Among the colorful characters in its early history was William Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty fame who was deposed as governor during the Rum Rebellion of 1808. In 1852, with the discovery of gold in the interior Sydney became a thriving port of the Victorian Empire.
Today, Sydney looks to the future, its skyline crowned by the graceful billowing sails of its famed Opera House. Visitors can get a glimpse of the past along the narrow, twisting streets of the Rocks, Sydney's restored historical district and for the adventurous, the Sydney bridge climb will reward you with panoramic views of the city and harbor. Excursions can reveal the spectacular, untamed beauty of the Blue Mountains, or get up close and personal with Australia's wildlife at the Koala Park Sanctuary, then end your day with a refreshing stop at an Aussie pub. All this and more before your cruise.
