Ferry services: There is probably no more memorable way for one to arrive in Sydney than by water. Unfortunately, however, services to Australia are limited. From Europe, the USA and Hong Kong, P&O (tel: 132 469, in Australia only; website: www.pocruises.com.au) and Cunard (tel: 132 441, in Australia only; website: www.cunardline.com.au) include Sydney on their itineraries.
