You will be able to look around our magnificently restored ship and learn some of its amazing history. You can spend time on deck soaking up the atmosphere and majesty of a working 19th-century tall ship while taking in the views as we sail down the Derwent River. You may want to get involved in hauling a line as we set some of the sails.

After lunch with the crew, we will join the Parade of Sail. You will be in a great position on the deck of the James Craig, Australia's largest tall ship, to see all the other ships and boats in the parade and be an integral part of the celebrations. Soak up the vibe and bring your camera!

Along with over 250 decorated ships and boats, we will make our way up the Derwent towards Sullivan's Cove to our berth at Princes Wharf in the heart of the festival precinct.
