About the Overseas Passenger Terminal
Sydney's Overseas Passenger Terminal may not have the most imaginative name, but maybe it doesn't need to. Officially known as Sydney Cove Passenger Terminal, this area has a history of commercial shipping dating back to 1792 and the very first foundations of what would become Australia. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes the Sydney Opera House, and with the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a backdrop, this cruise ship terminal doesn't need a romantic name to impress visitors.
Home to the city's major cruise terminals, this is where you'll arrive in the city if you come to Sydney on a cruise line. And if that's the case, you'll probably want to start exploring right away. Luckily, Bounce partners with local businesses to provide luggage storage facilities nearby, and our handy app lets you book in advance and keep control of your luggage storage cost. Choose from the main location at 140 George Street, Shop 2.02 or any of the others available in Sydney. Here's how we can help.
