Kakadu 2026 – International Fleet Review Sydney Harbour Sightseeing Cruise
A Once-in-a-Generation Moment on Sydney Harbour
2026 marks 125 years of the Royal Australian Navy, and Sydney Harbour will host something truly spectacular. The largest international gathering of warships here in more than a decade.
As part of Exercise Kakadu, up to 20 ships from 20 countries will assemble in a powerful display of global naval tradition, ceremony and sea power. From the ceremonial entry at sunrise to the aerial displays, gun salute and evening flotilla procession. This will be history in motion.
Imagine watching:
International warships lining the harbour
A combined Navy & Air Force aerial display
A ceremonial gun salute
A full fleet sail past beneath the Harbour Bridge
There’s no better vantage point than on the water. Join Sydney Princess Cruises and witness this historic fleet review from the heart of the harbour surrounded by the very ships making history.
