Christmas Itinerary - 4 Night Cruise
Night 1 - Christmas Night
Welcome aboard the magnificent True North in magnificent Sydney Harbour. Christmas dinner will be served as the True North cruises one of the finest harbours in the world!

Day 1
A visit to Sydney’s famed Taronga Zoo is always special or perhaps you would prefer to call into the Royal Cruising Yacht Club - experience the pre-race tension as all prepare for the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Watch the start of the race from one of the most enviable platforms in the harbour. Then enjoy a leisurely afternoon cruise ‘past the heads’ and along Sydney’s revered northern beaches to picturesque Pittwater. More opportunity to dine in style!

Day 2
Enjoy breakfast in the beautiful surrounds of Pittwater. Morning activities will include a walk to the Barrenjoey Lighthouse, beach combing and a scenic cruise past the Pittwater Yacht clubs. There may also be a chance to walk from Longnose Point to Flint and Steel Bay through the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park – Australia’s second oldest national park. A helicopter flight to the Hunter Valley and wine tasting at our feature winery is sure to be a cruise highlight! Whilst you are enjoying lunch the True North will cruise to Maitland Bay. Enjoy a swim or a bush walk through the surrounding national park. Sunset drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served on the beach before an evening cruise to Jerusalem Bay.

Day 3
Wake up to the shrill of the Jerusalem Bay cicadas. Join the crew for a bush walk along the Jerusalem Bay Bush Trail or head out in the tenders for sight seeing and swimming. Then savour a lunch on the sparkling waters of Cowan Creek, or join the heli-flight to the Blue Mountains and enjoy lunch at Echoes Boutique Hotel – 2007 winner of “Restaurant of the Year”! In the afternoon the True North will anchor at the mouth of the mighty Hawkesbury. From here we head out to Glenworth Valley for your choice of horse riding, kayaking, abseiling or quad bike riding. Or, maybe a visit to a local oyster farm is more your style? And in the evening something special – a live band to make your last night onboard a night to remember!

Day 4
The True North will cruise back into Sydney Harbour for 0800 disembarkation.
