We're Celebrating 55 Years on Sydney Harbour

Join us as Captain Cook Cruises marks 55 incredible years of cruising Sydney Harbour! This milestone year is packed with exciting events, competitions and up to $24,000 Cruise Cash to be won. Join the Captains Club for our monthly $550 Cruise Cash Giveaway and a grand prize of $5,500.

A Journey That Began in 1970​

On Australia Day 1970, Captain Trevor Haworth set sail on our very first voyage, launching what would become a Sydney Harbour icon. From a single boat to a world-renowned fleet, our story is one of passion, adventure, and unforgettable moments.

Then, Now and Beyond​

Over 55 years, we’ve seen trends evolve — from fashion to food to music — but one thing has never changed: our guests are at the heart of everything we do. We’ve hosted everyone from Hollywood stars to Popes, embraced new tastes and innovations, and remained committed to showcasing the stunning beauty of Sydney Harbour. With pride and excitement, we look ahead to the next 50 years, continuing our mission to deliver extraordinary cruising experiences.

Why 55?

We had big plans to celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2020, but COVID put those on hold. Now, we’re making up for lost time with a year-long celebration in 2025, honouring our history, achievements, and — most importantly — you, our valued guests!
