Sydney Cruise Ports
Sydney is home to two cruise terminals, the Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) which is situated at Circular Quay and White Bay Cruise Terminal in Rozelle. The Overseas Passenger Terminal is around 13km from Sydney airport and takes 15-20 mins in a car. The rail network in Sydney is a good option too, you can reach the city center in just 10 minutes from the airport and the Overseas Passenger Terminal in just 20 minutes. If you are sailing from the White Bay Cruise Terminal the distance from the airport isn’t too much different and is situated 16km away which takes around 20 minutes by car. For White Bay, public transport isn’t really ideal with you having to catch a bus and train which would take approximately 50mins.
