Ports

Sydney, Australia

Sydney is Australia's largest city, which is the number one tourist destination in the country. It offers a multitude of sights such as the famous Opera House and distinctive Harbour Bridge of course. You can travel back in time with a visit to Sydney’s oldest centre – The Rocks. Take a city tour to take in Sydney Tower, Darling Harbour and Chinatown. Bask on Bondi Beach for a dose of sun, sea and sand. Or travel a little further afield for a glimpse of the Aussie wildlife and views of the Blue Mountains.

And no wonder, Maui boasts some of the world's most superb beaches and dramatic mountain landscapes. In Maui, you can witness humpback whales navigating the warm blue waters off the coast, go snorkeling alongside green sea turtles and rainbow-colored fish in the bay or shop 'til you drop in Old Lahaina — there's always something to do on Maui.
