Honeymoon Cruises on Sydney Harbour, Pittwater and Hawkesbury River
Written by James Allen
Honeymoon cruises are special whether aboard a large cruise ship or an intimate overnight stay on the water in a 75-foot luxury motor yacht. In Sydney Harbour, a honeymoon cruise is much more of an intimate voyage for the newlyweds than an ordinary sightseeing tour. Wedding cruises are gala events full of fun and frivolity with family and friends, but honeymoon cruises are where a couple’s journey really begins.
Charter cruises in the Sydney Harbour area can range from a couple of hours to overnight stays on the water. Honeymoon cruises can be made from any of them depending on the costs and amount of privacy desired. Some honeymoon cruises may consist of a small vessel and a four hour intimate dining experience while anchored in a secluded harbour inlet. Other cruises may entail taking an overnight trip up to Pittwater to anchor in a cove for private swimming and fishing followed by an ala carte dinner before retiring for the evening.
Some charter venues offer overnight cruises of the Hawkesbury River. These make perfect, private honeymoon cruises as the couple tours the beauty and wildlife of the nature preserves surrounding the river and its many inlets and lagoons. The vessel’s captain and crew know all the breathtaking spots to anchor for the night. Often, once the vessel is secure and dinner and refreshments completed, the captain and crew will disembark for the remainder of the night. They return in the morning to serve breakfast and continue the cruise to its conclusion. Couples can experience the right balance of wildlife and modern convenience on one of these overnight honeymoon cruises.
Sydney harbour charters cruise companies can coordinate all the arrangements necessary for honeymoon cruises with the couple, wedding planner or other point of contact for the family. From decorations to menu and beverage selections, the charter company ensures all the details are taken care of so the couple can enjoy their selected cruise without worries. Food and beverages are readied and prepared fresh the day of the voyage by an executive chef. Depending on the vessel the refreshments may even be prepared on board if the cruise vessel has a full galley.
In addition to honeymoon cruises, many cruise charters offer anniversary and birthday cruises as well. Indeed, chartered anniversary cruises can be overnight stays that recreate the couple’s earlier honeymoon cruise or represent a late honeymoon gift. Romance on the water is timeless and honeymoon cruises are lasting memories of a couple’s first steps to many years of happiness.
