Australians are a mighty proud mob. We come from across the globe but we fiercely call Australia home. Reflect, Respect and Celebrate are the core messages for 2022 as we are encouraged to pause and reflect on the First Nations Australians and to celebrate our cultural diversity and rich migrant heritage as only Australians can.

Headlining the daytime program on Sydney Harbour is the ever-popular Ferrython at 10.45am. At 11.30am the official Salute to Australia begins which includes an RAAF Fast Jet Flypast and handling display. The Sydney Harbour Parade commences at 12.45pm with a flotilla of brightly decorated vessels, and at 1.00pm the Tall Ships do battle for the 2022 race trophy. From 1.30pm all the action of the 186th Australia Day Regatta commences.

The Australia Day Lunch cruise departs at 10.30am for four hours of action on the Harbour. There is a choice of three dining decks, each with covered outdoor viewing areas, and a massive open deck on the top of the vessel.

One level below, the expansive Club Deck includes a 3-course premium menu, superior wines, beers, and soft drinks from $139, normally $179.  At water-level, the relaxed lounge style Ocean Deck includes shared summer platters and a welcome drink from $99.
