Sapphire Inlet – Eden from Sydney

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 4 nights. This sailing from Sydney on December 18, 2026 visits Eden and makes every day count. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Sydney Opera House one day, Milford Sound's fjords another. The Antipodes reward the long flight. People come back from this cruise talking about Eden: Where whales come to play on the Sapphire Coast. There are 11 restaurants on Royal Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. Sydney itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. 1 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
