Rather than watching from a distance on the foreshore or being crammed on a plastic boat, people can sail on an authentic tall ship that has voyaged over 22,000 miles to Sydney to celebrate this historic event. “We want to invite everyone to get on board and enjoy this breathtaking event the best way possible.   There is nothing like the experience of sailing on a tall ship, to touch, feel and experience what it was like to sail the oceans two centuries ago. Combine this with the spectacular entertainment on the harbour and it is going to be a moment you will never forget,” says David Warne, CEO of Sydney Tall Ships. From the 3rd of October until the 11th of October, Sydney Tall Ships is offering cruises everyday in the centre of all the action.  From family pirate cruises to afternoon champagne cruises to the fireworks cruise, Sydney Tall Ships have it all! The Sydney Tall Ship cruises include food, drinks, entertainment, activities and much more. If you thought New Years Eve on the harbour was huge then wait until you see this!
