Sydney Harbour Navy Fleet Review Cruises
Ships Ahoy! Mark 21 March 2026 on your calendars – you definitely don’t want to miss out on the largest gathering of international warships on Sydney Harbour celebrating the 125 Years Royal Australian Navy Anniversary.
With up to 30 naval ships from 20 different countries, the RAN International Fleet Review Sydney 2026 will display a rare and impressive showcase of maritime power, precision and partnership as part of Exercise Kakadu on one of the world’s most iconic waterways.
From destroyers to massive amphibious ships, Sydney Harbour will transform into a living exhibition of naval capacity, and instead of watching from a crowded shoreline, be right in the action with our RAN International Fleet Review Cruises!
Choose between our exclusive lunch and dinner cruises to experience this naval celebration in both comfort and style. With access to official spectator zones, see the official events and cruise by the fleet procession passing Clark Island and Bradley Heads, all the way to Chowder Bay and back.
The lunch cruises put you on the water as the festivities are at the peak. Watch the RAAF formation flypasts and experience the thunderous Naval Ceremonial Gun Salute – all while enjoying a freshly prepared meal, drinks and daytime harbour views.
If you prefer an evening experience, select one of the dinner cruises for sweeping night views of the illuminated fleet as they make up the historic flotilla procession against the backdrop of Sydney’s harbour attractions.
This is a rare opportunity to be part of a historic maritime event from the best seat on the harbour. Tickets are limited and selling out fast, so secure your place and experience the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Review 2026!
