Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket on your smartphone is all you need — simply show it when you board at the wharf.

Where exactly do I board?

You can board at Circular Quay Wharf 6 or Darling Harbour King Street Wharf. Departure times differ between the two, so check the timetable at captaincook.com.au before you travel.

Can I get off at a stop mid-cruise?

Yes, you may disembark at any stop along the route. However, once you leave the vessel your cruise is considered complete — you won't be able to re-board on the same ticket.

How do I access the audio guide?

Download the audio guide app to your smartphone before you arrive at the wharf. It plays commentary as you cruise past each landmark.

Is this suitable for young children?

Yes. Children under 4 travel free of charge. Children aged 4–15 require a child ticket, and all under-18s must be accompanied by an adult.

How long does the cruise take?

The round trip is approximately 60–80 minutes, depending on the route and stops on the day.
