The wind threads the rigging as the tall ship slips from the wharf and Sydney’s skyline brightens—Opera House sails first, then the arch of the Harbour Bridge, lights blooming across the water. Guests lean on polished timber rails with a glass in hand while the harbour cools and the city’s sandstone cliffs darken into silhouette.
